FreeBSD Groupware Server
Odhiambo Washington
Anyone knows of a concoction of software that can make me achieve the
following with FreeBSD:
Email Server
• http, pop, smtp, and imap email access.
• Global Address List facility
• Personal Address List facility
• Distribution/Mailing list capabilities
• Personal and Group Scheduling through a calendar facility
• Anti-Spam and Anti-virus
• Stores Mail accounts and data in MySQL
... especially the 2nd and 3rd portions.
What is the best groupware, based on MySQL, that runs on FreeBSD in this
time and age? :)

Zimbra relies on OpenLDAP (and Postfix, right?). I am looking for a
MySQL-based solution.
That Postfix angle and OpenLDAP rules out Zimbra for me, unfortunately.

Zimbra does everything internally. Think of it like a "black box", in
that everything it needs, it installs, runs, and manages internally.
Yes, it uses Postfix, Cyrus IMAP, OpenLDAP, MySQL, SpamAssassin,
DSpam, Amavisd-new, etc, etc, etc ... but none of that is exposed to
the admin. You just use the Zimbra admin console, and it takes care
of everything.

I hate recommending control panels but I would say you could do this easily with cPanel all in one install (The control panel with facilitate the installation of all services). Your other options would be Zimbra which has a port now, I believe ([http://wiki.zimbra.com/wiki/Building_GNR_on_FreeBSD_8] http://wiki.zimbra.com/wiki/Building_GNR_on_FreeBSD_8).
Open X-Change will work on FreeBSD as well: [http://homepage.univie.ac.at/peter.schober/OX_on_FreeBSD.html] http://homepage.univie.ac.at/peter.schober/OX_on_FreeBSD.html
Best of luck

Zimbra 6.0 open-source edition runs (unofficially) on FreeBSD, and
does everything you want. :) There's even pre-compiled packages
available for it.

Patcheds versions
and actually Zimbra = vmware, and FreeBSD is not supported.
That's mean you going to suffer to make it's work.
Don't forget the "pro" version work only on linux.

there is no suffering involved concerning installation and the packages work straight-away. but yes, it is not supported and yes (imho), zimbra is the best opensource package out there so the real question is, sadly: "do I really want to run FreeBSD?"
i know, i do.

I've found Groupoffice Community edition reasonable competent with a rather
good looking UI. You'll need an SMTP & IMAP server set up separately.
/usr/ports/ww/groupoffice
Ports have a rather old version of GO, but you could install it just to get
the most of the dependencies taken care of, then just download the latest
version from http://sourceforge.net/projects/group-office/ and install
whatever dependencies are missing.
That said, FreeBSD isn't officially supported, so some things do take some
tweaking. I recall also that it prefers Postfix...I was using sendmail and
the vacation autoresponder was disabled.

I will take a look at this as it seems more promising. I can do all the
MTA/IMAP/POP3 bits using Exim and Dovecot.
What I am mostly interested in are the following features:
Global Address List facility, Personal Address List facility, Personal and
Group Scheduling through a calendar facility
Let me see ...

UPDATE:
Installation from source was such a breeze. I only encountered a small error
when the SQL tables were being populated, because I am running MySQL 5.5.8
which required ENGINE=MyISAM instead of TYPE=MyISAM.
Now I just need to see if I get the features I need.

Where is the groupware function in what you posted? Perhaps you did not
understand the question in the first place?
Take a second read at the question, and see if you understand it better
now:)
