  • Apache-2.2.x. with SSL support.

  • Postfix-2.5.x, with TLS support.

  • Dovecot-1.1.x, POP3, POP3S, IMAP, IMAPS.

  • OpenLDAP-2.4.x, uses bdb (Berkeley DB) as default database backend.

  • MySQL-5.0.x.

Re: Status Report: iRedMail + Debian (Lenny)

Update:

* Run this command to make SSL works in apache2:

# a2ensite default-ssl
# /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

Planning to make iRedMail use Debian 'stable' repository
instead of 'testing', build several packages ourself (e.g.
dovecot-1.1.x, amavisd-new-2.6.x) and create our own apt
repository.

Feedback/Suggestions are always welcome. smile

Currenly, it's nearly fixed all issues on 8.04, only Apache SSL setting is not fixed, but should be solved in these days.

beta2 is coming soon, be patient.
