How to install Sogo Groupware Server on Debian

'Today we talk about Sogo. SOGo is a fully supported and trusted groupware server with a focus on scalability and open standards, is released under the GNU GPL/LGPL v2 and above. SOGo provides a rich AJAX-based Web interface and supports multiple native clients through the use of standard protocols such as CalDAV, CardDAV, and GroupDAV, as well as Microsoft ActiveSync. In this tutorial we'll install on Debian 8, a new version will be available soon.' -- source: https://www.howtoforge.com/tutorial/how-to-install-sogo-on-debian-8/ Cheers, Peter -- Peter Reutemann Dept. of Computer Science University of Waikato, NZ +64 (7) 858-5174 http://www.cms.waikato.ac.nz/~fracpete/ http://www.data-mining.co.nz/

While we're talking about mail, I've been experimenting a bit with iRedMail. It's *awesome*. It bundles together your whole mail platform, including Dovecot and Postfix for mail handling; SOGo for Outlook and ActiveSync clients; Roundcube for webmail access... but it also bundles in Postscreen (sanity checking for SMTP transactions), Amavisd (mail virus scanning), greylisting (rejects new senders and requests retry), and other filters. The whole thing is really very tidy. Even sends nightly log files that display numbers of rejected emails (so far averaging 1800 a day), sent mails, received mails, and failed HTTP requests. Highly recommended :) (In case anyone out there is using it and wants to have more protection than ClamAV, I've written a post on getting Amavisd to work with ESET for Linux: https://www.ericlight.com/making-amavis-work-with-eset-antivirus ) E -------------------------------------------- Q: Why is this email five sentences or less?

Sounds like excellent material for a presentation! :-) Cheers, Peter -- Peter Reutemann Dept. of Computer Science University of Waikato, NZ +64 (7) 858-5174 http://www.cms.waikato.ac.nz/~fracpete/ http://www.data-mining.co.nz/

I will second that. Been using it in a corporate environment for a few years now. All iRedmail is really is a very tidy install script. Very serious mail server all up an configured in a matter of minutes. The product was so good I wanted to give the developer something. What you get the the "subscription" is a web interface for configuration. If you don't pay, you can still do everything via the std config files. But as pretty much an entry level linux user, I still found that pretty manageable. I didn't need the sub, but I was very happy to pay him. So I suppose that is a pretty positive recomendation.... If you need a mail server with all the bells and whistles, go there.

Roger, Eric - would either of you be willing to demo it at the next meeting (23/10 - Labour Day)? Cheers, Peter -- Peter Reutemann Dept. of Computer Science University of Waikato, NZ +64 (7) 858-5174 http://www.cms.waikato.ac.nz/~fracpete/ http://www.data-mining.co.nz/

Sorry Peter... I wish I could, but I don't expect to be out Hillcrest way again until next year! E -------------------------------------------- Q: Why is this email five sentences or less? A: http://five.sentenc.es On Wed, 4 Oct 2017, at 08:53, Peter Reutemann wrote:
