Use vestaCP as a mail only server
Use vestaCP as a mail only server
Hi,
I'm interested in using VestaCP as a mail-only server. I have about 30 domains that I'd like to host, all using external web, dns, etc. I only need the mail. However, when I disabled all those features in the installer, and when trying to setup packages I was getting an error to do with web.
What would be the best way to go about running an email only server?
Thanks.

I don't think Vesta would be the best for this really. Is a fantastic product, but if you wanted email only you would be better with something like https://mailcow.email/.

If you expect help, please describe your actions and observations in detail... without which no one has an idea how / what to help you with
Re: Use vestaCP as a mail only server
We've looked into mailcow, and other projects like it. We chose vesta because of the way we can integrate it with our current system (almost) natively without having to do a lot of modifications.Phogo wrote:I don't think Vesta would be the best for this really.

All were shutoff besides MySQL, IPTables, Fail2ban and the email related ones - Exim, Dovecot, SpamAssassin, and ClamAV.What packages were included ?
If there's a different list you'd like me to provide, please let me know where I can find that.

Here are the options I used on the Creation Page, please note the "Web Template" section does not have any options in the dropdown.

Re: Use vestaCP as a mail only server
Try it with --nginx yes --apache yes so as to have nginx as rev. proxy to Apache, this is standard VestaCP install which should work out of the box.
Not installing Apache and Nginx means you don't have a Webserver at all... how are you going to use Webmail ?
Thats why you can't see anything in Webtemplates... if no Webserver, how/what/why Web templates ?
