I followed this guide at kernel-panic.it. Below you'll find a small steps-to-follow guide with some additions.

What to build

I've set-up a mailserver that supports multiple domains. It uses:

  • Postfix as MTA (with greylisting)
  • Postgrey
  • MySQL as backend
  • Dovecot as IMAP/POP3 server and Local Delivery Agent (LDA)
    • with quota
  • Control plane by amavisd for:
    • Anti-spam with Spam Assassin
    • Anti-virus with clamav
  • Fetchmail to fetch remote email and inject it in your mailserver
  • Squirrelmail for webmail.

What to install

At the time of writing I use OpenBSD 4.2. I make use of packages and ports to make this all work.
