Subject: Some advice setting up a server with for multiple virtual
domainswith email
Hi All,
I am configuring a server to be used to host several domains with
several email accounts for each.
The way I have been thinking about doing this is as follows.
One user who is responsible for a set of domain names with email
accounts in the following structure
/home
user1
domain1.com
mail
account1
account2
www
database
domain2.com
mail
account1
account2
www
database
etc. I am thinking about sticking with Exim-tls for the MTA,
courier-pop-ssl for pop3 and courier-imap-ssl for imap.
Does this sound like a sensible setup. Also, would I be able to set
quotas per domain directory ?
The other option I thought of was the following format
/var
www
domain1.com
domain2.com
mail
domain1.com
account1
account2
domain2.com
account1
database
domain1.com
domain2.com
/home
user
There is obviously the higher amount of maintenance here with the domain
names being created under multiple directories
The other question I had was whether it was possible to setup mysql /
postgresql to create a database within a particular location (e.g.
/home/user/domain1.com/database/ ?
Another question I had was, what would be the best way to manage the
mail accounts ? LDAP ?
I have been scouring the web for a little while to see if there were
some form of howto or something that covered this but did not find any
of the sort - does anyone here have any good web links.
Any help, advice, pointers etc in this greatly appreciated.
Best Wishes,
Shri
