![]() ![]() Managing your own email servers and securing them from spam and DDOS attacks is difficult and time-consuming. ![]() What are the advantages of using an email hosting service over running personal email servers?.The email hosting service provides secure access to your saved data, and further provides anti-spam and anti-virus filters. It allows users to send and receive emails using their custom domain based email accounts. It also shows the current versions of Postfix, Dovecot and Fetchmail that's activated by MailServe.Email hosting is a service that runs email servers and provides email service for individuals and businesses. The Mail Log Panel provides access to the Postfix, Dovecot and Fetchmail logs as one merged stream. The mail administrator can set up custom procmail directives to be processed before or after spam processing. MailServe uses procmail to integrate Postfix with Dovecot and SpamBayes to implement spam filtering. The Spam Panel includes controls for managing spam and setting up user accounts. Step 5-Spam Filtering & Mail User Accounts Management Fetchmail can be set up to check these other POP or IMAP servers periodically and download all that mail, consolidating them into one single mailbox on the local server. įetchmail is useful for people who have many other POP or IMAP servers that they read mail from. IMAP servers have an additional functionality over POP3 servers-they allow the user to organise the messages into a folder/subfolder structure. This service is provided by POP3 and IMAP server called Dovecot, not Postfix. Once Mail has been delivered to the Postfix server, you need to have a mechanism whereby mail clients like Mail, Entourage or Thunderbird can access the stored mail. Step 3-Setting up POP3 and/or IMAP Servers using Dovecot You set this up using the Mail Server panel, which also allows you to set up Postfix so it will relay mail for other machines on your network, as well as for remote machines which authenticate. But you need to first tell Postfix which domains to receive mail for. The Postfix SMTP server will also receive mail from other servers. Step 2-Receiving Mail from other Mail Servers Once it's on, you can use it to send mail to other mail servers, as well as from things like PHP scripts, running on your server. So, start at this point-at MailServe's Outgoing panel-to turn on that SMTP server. There's an SMTP server, Postfix, built into every Leopard machine. Mail servers talk to each other via SMTP.

It does this in a non-invasive manner, touching as little as possible of the original system files so as to leave your system in its pristine state. MailServe does a lot of complicated configuring of your server beneath its Mac-like user interface. This allows the user to turn the mail services on one-by-one, and turn them off individually when they're not needed. MailServe organises each of these tasks-from the simple to the complex-into discrete panels in its user interface. ![]() encrypt mail coming in and out of the server using SSL (including inserting Intermediate CA certs).authenticate users before they are allowed to send mail through the server.allow mail to be organised into folders and sub-folders.store all these mail on the server & and allow them to be read them from any mail client.MailServe helps you set up a fully functional mail server on Mac OS X that can: ![]()
