Re: uninstall iRedMail

Re: uninstall iRedMail

iRedMail is designed to be deployed on a fresh/new/clean server, this way we can achieve best success for installation, otherwise we have to deal with a lot exceptions like "i have Apache installed, iRedMail installer doesn't detect and use it and it installs Nginx", " i have nextCloud running, iRedMail installer overrides my Nginx config", ...

You can remove the software binary packages installed by iRedMail manually, also their config files and data. It's too risk to remove by a script without confirm one-by-one. Incorrectly removing any data will cause more trouble.

iRedMail is not the traditional "software", it's a solution which installs and configures many softwares for you. you can not simply remove one software as complete uninstall.

Re: uninstall iRedMail

They're mostly dependent packages of the ones installed by iRedMail.

Re: uninstall iRedMail

I had the same need to uninstall iRedMail, because it appears to have been installed incorrectly (constantly getting errors in MySQL queries).

I didn't want to reinstall my entire server setup though, so what i did was:

sudo apt-get remove --purge postfix* nginx* sa-compile* dovecot* fail2ban* ldap* mysql* sogo* clamav* amavis* nginx* php* mlmmj*
sudo apt autoremove --purge

This uninstalled most of the packages from iRedMail, but we want to purge it from OS completely, right? So, the next step is to remove remaining directories:

sudo rm -rf /var/run/mysql /var/run/amavis /var/run/mlmmjadmin /var/run/iredadmin /var/run/fail2ban /var/run/netdata
sudo rm -rf /etc/mysql /etc/clamav /etc/dovecot /etc/fail2ban /etc/netdata /etc/spamassassin

Next up, we remove all unwanted users:

sudo userdel -f iredadmin
sudo userdel -f iredapd
sudo userdel -f clamav
sudo userdel -f mlmmj
sudo userdel -f netdata
sudo userdel -f vmail
sudo userdel -f debian-spamd
sudo userdel -f mail

Then reboot the system and it has to be it smile

Let's me add additional some need todo.
1.systemd-sysv-install disable postfix
2.uninstall postfix
3.use `systemctl disable ` disable the
    sogo.service
    mlmmjadmin.service
    iredadmin.service
    iredapd.service

Re: uninstall iRedMail

If you use iptables you can also uninstall nftables 

sudo apt purge nftables


in my case nftables was block all ping requests...

You saved my life buddy. I was unable to access my server through any port and had no ideas about nftables. I removed it and everything is up and running now. Thank you!
