Finally had the time this weekend to finish my mission to setup a fully featured mail server. For that I have to thank the nameless author of this blog<\/a>.<\/p>\n

My setup only differed slightly from his in that I created a new virtual machine on my linux server rather than any cloud based solution. I also created appropriate cname records for my dns for smtp and pop3 that both point to mail.warbel.net<\/a>. I’m so far very happy with the setup – it’s robust, scalable and quite easy use once established. It’s not as fully featured (yet!) as an Exchange or Office365 system. I’ve already noticed that I cannot create out of office alerts or rules to handle incoming mail. I’m sure that will be my next project.<\/p>\n

Final touches to the setup involved creating a forward lookup zone for warbel.net on my local DNS server. Due to the nature of port forwarding and having a single IP address etc etc., mobile devices fail to connect to the mail server when on the network. As such mai\/pop3\/smtp.warbel.net all point to the internal ip address of the mail server. Same applies to the web server and it’s related websites.<\/p>\n

Buoyed by my success I’ve also created a new website – you’re looking at it.<\/p>\n

Finally: I also reestablished routing between my home network and my parent’s site. They are connected by a PPTP VPN with routing handled by BGP (quagga). Again, over-kill here as it could easily be handled by static routes, but where is the fun in that? Kudos to the developers of OpenWRT<\/a> for their fantastic work in enabling my network.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
