Installing iRedMail was a breeze compared to the last mail server I built using the QmailRocks guide. My only complaint with the guide is with the footnote regarding "Important things to know after installation". It should be more clear about the line "User password and related sensitive information". My first run through I wanted to try out LDAP but I was unable to log in to the php LDAP admin. I tried to figure it out but, being pressed for time, I ended up reinstalling using the MySQL back end that I am more familiar with so I could move forward with my task.

Overall I'm impressed though. iRedMail gets an A+ from me. Though I do suggest you upgrade to the latest release of RoundCube after installation. Just a minor tweak is needed to get it working fully. http://www.iredmail.org/forum/topic310-upgrade-to-roundcube-03-in-iredos-050.html

Why not just install Citadel?  It does all of that stuff out-of-the-box, and it's pre-integrated for you so you don't have to go through all of those steps to put it together.

I've just installed Citadel 1.5 however though it's a very good solution it's just not as good as postfix and clamav and spamassassin. Truth is people shouldn't be lazy instead they should design a system they want.
