Topic: Software sources

==== Required information ====
- iRedMail version: 0.8.5
- Store mail accounts in which backend (LDAP/MySQL/PGSQL): MySQL
- Linux/BSD distribution name and version: Ubuntu 12.04
====

I have a question on the used software sources. On the iredmail-homepage there is mentioned:

What iRedMail does
Install and configure mail server related BINARY packages automatically from the official software repositories provided by Linux/BSD distribution venders.

But what pieces of software iredmail is fetching from other sources?

I'm asking because next year we want to re-setup our school-server. In fact we have no time ressources (nor for setup (therefore we want to use iredmail) nor for maintenance). That is why it would be important for us that at best all the integrated software is coming from the official repos, so that security upates are deployed by the system.

Is it for example possible to use Roundcube out of the Ubuntu repos?

For Debian and Ubuntu, ALL packages except Roundcube webmail, iRedAPD, iRedAdmin are installed from Ubuntu repos.

*) Roundcube will be installed from source tarball downloaded from its web site.
*) iRedAPD and iRedAdmin are developed by iRedMail project.
