Virtual Users And Domains With Postfix, Courier, MySQL And SquirrelMail (Debian Squeeze)
========================================================================================

This document describes how to install a Postfix mail server that is based on virtual users and domains, i.e. users and domains that are in a MySQL database. I'll also demonstrate the installation and configuration of Courier (Courier-POP3, Courier-IMAP), so that Courier can authenticate against the same MySQL database Postfix uses. The resulting Postfix server is capable of SMTP-AUTH and TLS and quota. Passwords are stored in encrypted form in the database. In addition to that, this tutorial covers the installation of Amavisd, SpamAssassin and ClamAV so that emails will be scanned for spam and viruses. I will also show how to install SquirrelMail as a webmail interface so that users can read and send emails and change their passwords.

Installing Nginx With PHP5 And MySQL Support On Debian Squeeze
==============================================================

Nginx (pronounced "engine x") is a free, open-source, high-performance HTTP server. Nginx is known for its stability, rich feature set, simple configuration, and low resource consumption. This tutorial shows how you can install Nginx on a Debian Squeeze server with PHP5 support (through FastCGI) and MySQL support.

Qmail-Scanner With ClamAV And SpamAssassin On Ubuntu
====================================================

In continuation of my document http://www.howtoforge.com/qmail-openldap-on-ubuntu about setting up qmail-ldap on Ubuntu this document will help you to set up Qmail-Scanner with ClamAV antivirus and SpamAssassin spamfilter.

Installing Lighttpd With PHP5 And MySQL Support On Debian Squeeze
=================================================================

Lighttpd is a secure, fast, standards-compliant web server designed for speed-critical environments. This tutorial shows how you can install Lighttpd on a Debian Squeeze server with PHP5 support (through FastCGI) and MySQL support.

iRedMail 0.7.0: OpenSource Mail Server With Postfix, Dovecot, Amavisd, ClamAV, SpamAssassin, RoundCube (Debian Squeeze)
=======================================================================================================================

iRedMail is a shell script that lets you quickly deploy a full-featured mail solution in less than 2 minutes. Its object is to make a Linux mail server installation and configuration simple, painless and easy to use. Most components used in iRedMail are provided by Linux distributions officially. It means that iRedMail users can get software update support for as long as the the distribution is supported. iRedMail supports both OpenLDAP and MySQL as backends for storing virtual domains and users. This tutorial shows how to use the OpenLDAP backend on Debian Squeeze.

Easy RoundCube (Over SSL) And Webmin With fail2ban For ISPConfig 3 On Debian Squeeze
====================================================================================

I prefer the RoundCube solution over the default in ISPConfig 3. I also find it useful to have the webmin installed in all my systems. In this post you can see a very fast way to have both of them installed, in companion with the great support of fail2ban. Finally I want to access all of them over SSL (even phpmyadmin -- see the tip in the end).

Creating An NFS-Like Standalone Storage Server With GlusterFS On Fedora 13
==========================================================================

This tutorial shows how to set up a standalone storage server on Fedora 13. Instead of NFS, I will use GlusterFS here. The client system will be able to access the storage as if it was a local filesystem. GlusterFS is a clustered file-system capable of scaling to several peta-bytes. It aggregates various storage bricks over Infiniband RDMA or TCP/IP interconnect into one large parallel network file system. Storage bricks can be made of any commodity hardware such as x86_64 servers with SATA-II RAID and Infiniband HBA.
