AjentiV Mail Server Setup

Question

AjentiV recently added support for mail server/ mail forward. I have been trying to get mail working on my domain but I have never set up courier or exim. I was wondering if anyone has instructions on Ajenti V mail setup.

Solution 1

You can install ajenti-v-mail by doing the following

install basic ajenti-v-mail package, run: apt-get install ajenti-v-mail

Exim and Courier mail will automatically be installed.

Afterthat you can creat an email address [email protected] using the Mailbox button in the Mail section of the ajenti admin panel.

This is the default configuration generated for a new email account.

• Username: [email protected]
• Password: your password
• SMTP server: server's address
• IMAP server: server's address
• Ports: default ones (TLS SMTP and IMAPS if you have configured TLS for mail Ajenti V).

I hope it helps

Solution 2

Apart from what @Beaudinn said. When I configured my email client and tried to retrieve my email, it failed with "No Inbox" or something. I had to execute maildirmake in the user folder created in /var/vmail/

# cd /var/vmail/test@example
# maildirmake

With exim -i test@example you can send an email test after writing the body (you have to end the text input with Ctrl+D the EOF character). And from the same terminal you can check your inbox with telnet yourdomain imap (look for some tutorials on google). Still, I can't receive email when it's sent from another server. I'm still trying to figure out which settings Ajenti tried to set.

--EDIT--

About my problem about not receiving emails: netstat -tulpn showed that a sendmail service was using the port 25 and not exim. Uninstalling sendmail and restarting exim did the work. Centos6 Clean VPS

Do you have any idea about how to configure a catchall email account with Ajenti?

When I try to install it I get this warning: "WARNING: The following packages cannot be authenticated!". Why is it?
