Hello,
I recently found iRedMail and decided to give it a try. Although there are some things I don't like, it seems solid, but I bumped into 2 little problems. I post it here so you can fix it in next version:

1. Installer is missing one dependency. I had to manually install python-ldap (yum install python-ldap) in order to run iredapd
2. iredapd isn't starting with system. "chkconfig iredapd on" can solve that

I also recommend to create systemd script. Although init.d is supported for now in RHEL7, its support can be (and probably will be) removed in the future.

python-ldap is not required if you run iRedMail SQL editions. You may need to remove compiled Python binary files and try again:

cd /opt/iredapd/
find . -name '*pyc' | xargs rm -f {}
service iredapd restart

iRedMail has code to do this (file functions/iredapd.sh). It might be something wrong on your server.

Sure, we will create systemd script for iredapd in future release.

Re: Suggestions for installer improvement

Well I don't know what can be wrong with fresh CentOS 7 install on virtual server.
