hello,
i need to setup a mail server with postfix + dovecot + webmin + virtualmin + virtual user with linux system user. the virtual user may reach to thousands user from several hundreds virtual domains.
That shouldn't be a problem. Postfix has had support for this for well over a decade.
what i concern is large numbers of linux system user which used in these setup, is it good or bad?
Virtual users with a Postfix/Dovecot installation does not equate to real Linux/shell accounts. If the only service being provided is mail, then there's no reason to create real accounts.
maybe somebody would share their experience about this setup ?
any links would be good.
postfix 2.6.7 dovecot 2.0.6 centos 5.x
Is there any particular reason you've chosen these versions? That is, are there specific functions which these versions provide that are not in prior versions?
I ask because I'm running these versions in CentOS 5.x:
postfix-2.3.3-2.1.el5_2.i386 dovecot-1.0.7-7.el5.i386
If the only concern is security updates, these are backported to the current versions in CentOS.
webmin + virtualmin
I've had no experience with either of these as I edit the config files with a text editor.
