Comments on Virtual Users With Postfix, Dovecot, MySQL, RoundCube, iRedAdmin On Debian 6.0 (Squeeze)
Virtual Users With Postfix, Dovecot, MySQL, RoundCube, iRedAdmin On Debian 6 (Squeeze) This document describes how to install a Postfix and Dovecot mail server that is based on virtual users and domains, i.e. users and domains that are in a MySQL database. If you prefer to install such a mail server step by step, you can refer to the ISPmail tutorials at workaround.org. Also the Big Picture would help you to easily understand the mail server structure. I believe you at least need one day to have a working mail server that way. If you use the iRedMail script, you only need one minute to get the mail server up and running, and you will have more features (compared to the ISPmail tutorials).

The script is very poorly done and tested. Don't use it with anything but a completely fresh installation of Debian. It doesn't work if MySQL or many of the other components are already installed (although it appears to be developed to account for this). Leaves you with a mishmash of old and new configurations that are difficult to decipher. Script failed all over the place and said it completed successfully, which it didn't. Not recommended.
