Ok, You have your fantastic mail server with roundcube as web client.
All work great but hey, wait a moment… how can i set a filter in roundcube?
Filtering emails in webclient (gmail, outlook etc) its a normal thing but in your mail server it’s not automatic, and you have to do a bit of work for have it in your roundcube.
This is a quick tutorial on how to configure all on Ubuntu 12.04 with postfix+dovecot+roundcube (I assume that you already installed them).
Let’s start:
One of the most basic tasks to that you should know how to do on a fresh Linux server is add and remove users. When you create a new server, you are only given the root account by default.
While this gives you a lot of power and flexibility, it is also dangerous and can be destructive. It is almost always a better idea to add an additional, unprivileged user to do common tasks. You also should create additional accounts for any other users you may have on your system. Each user should have a different account.
You can still acquire administrator privileges when you need them through a mechanism called sudo. In this guide we will cover how to create user accounts, assign sudo privileges, and delete users.
After lots of years that i’m using JDs Auto Speed Tester it arrived the moment of move speed tests on a linux server and a more stable system.
I just found that the great service speedtest.net can be use also from a script in linux, this is how to do it!
For see from command line current execution of queries you can use:
$ mysqladmin -u bob -p -i 1 processlistThis will print the current queries on your screen every second.
-u The mysql user you want to execute the command as-p Prompt for your password (so you don’t have to save it in a file or have the command appear in your command history)i The interval in seconds.If you want to see output like “SHOW FULL PROCESSLIST” you can attach “–verbose” to the command.
I just found a fantastic theme for webmin!
You can find it here: https://github.com/qooob/authentic-theme
Finally some fresh dress for webmin, that with default theme it looks like very old!
If you don’t know how to install webmin theme you have to go to:
TCP wrapper based access List Rules can be included in the two files

Frankly speaking, you cannot create a Linux partition larger than 2 TB using the fdisk command. The fdisk won’t create partitions larger than 2 TB. This is fine for desktop and laptop users, but on server you need a large partition. For example, you cannot create 3TB or 4TB partition size (RAID based) using the fdisk command. It will not allow you to create a partition that is greater than 2TB. In this tutorial, you will learn more about creating Linux filesystems greater than 2 Terabytes to support enterprise grade operation under any Linux distribution.
NFS, or Network File System, is a distributed filesystem protocol that allows you to mount remote directories on your server. This allows you to leverage storage space in a different location and to write to the same space from multiple servers easily. NFS works well for directories that will have to be accessed regularly.
In this guide, we’ll cover how to configure NFS mounts on an Ubuntu 14.04 server.
I’ve written a loong post on how to configure Email with Postfix, Dovecot and MySQL on Debian 6 (Squeeze) and it seems quite popular, a lot of you come from Google searching on how to do this difficult task.
I recently felt like moving my mail server to a new one and decided to see if there’s anything out there to help me. A complete package was what I was looking for.
And I’ll be damn, I found it!
iRedmail is a free and open source package that does just what I want. It installs Postfix, Dovecot, Spamassasin, ClamAV, Roundcube and their own panel iRedAdmin.
iReadAdmin is a simple panel that helps you add domains and users/aliases. And that’s about it. They charge for an extended version called iRedAdmin-Pro but that price is way high for me.
It’s a painless installation, just follow the steps on their site and your done. I chose a MySQL backend since adding domain aliases, catch-all addresses etc gets a lot easier when you just connect with your MySQL-client and add some lines to the db (iRedAdmin is so limited you can’t do it there).
I will follow up this post with some guides on howto improve iRedmail and howto add DKIM to new domains etc.
