By Default CWP server comes with Postfix + Dovecot + AntiSpam Solutions. We need to do some modifications on Postfix + Dovecot , for better security and high performance. In this series tutorials , We will learn how to build Postfix + Dovecot with AntiSpam Solutions . Build CWP Mail Server 1. At first, We must have a valid FQDN with DNS Records (A & PTR). To generate new FQDN , Go to Server Settings >> Change Hostname . We will 2048 key Size which is default or you can use 4096 key Size which is slower than 2048 key Size . 2. Build Postfix mail Server with AntiSpam/AntiVirus and  DKIM & SPF . Go to Email >> Mail Server Manager . Provide the FQDN and Domain then click on "Rebuild Mail Server" 3. Enable SPF & DKIM for parent Domain: Go to Email >> DKIM Manager  Check also below the directory:    TruestedHosts File Location: /etc/opendkim/TrustedHosts    SigningTable File Location: /etc/opendkim/SigningT...

Some mail clients will use a system called "Autodiscover" to figure out which settings to use for the pop/imap/smtp settings. You can set this up if you'd like, it basically requires a subdomain and a SRV record. You can add the SRV record into any domain you want to use these settings for. If you've got a global SSL certificate in Postfix/dovecot for your hostname, this would be a good way to ensure clients use the correct value, so they don't get SSL certificate errors. Let's assume you're going to have your clients with datahead.biz  connect to host.datahead.biz for both IMAP and SMTP. So we have a subdomain called host.datahead.biz to store the XML, where  host.datahead.biz is a Server FQDN .  1. Setup a SRV record in the datahead.biz DNS zone: _autodiscover._tcp.datahead.biz. 3600 IN SRV 10 10 443 host.datahead.biz. 2. Next, Creat a file named autodiscover.php on  /usr/local/apache/htdocs/ # vi /usr/local/apache/htdocs/autodiscover.php N...

Postfix architecture is modular and contains different daemons each specifically handling only a few tasks. The most important daemons are the following: master is the main daemon that starts all the other daemons. smtpd is the SMTP server daemon handling incoming connections to receive emails from another mail server or client. smtp is the SMTP client handling outgoing connections to send email out to another mail server. local is the local delivery agent responsible for delivering email to the local server. qmgr processes and controls all messages in the mail queue. Maps are used in postfix to control email routing. Such maps are used to accept or reject email, inform postfix about local recipients and more. The main configuration files are main.cf which is the global configuration for all daemons and the master.cf which defines the runtime environment for the daemons. The master.cf configuration thereby overrides the configuration options from the main.cf. Lets Secure...

By Default CWP Server is using Modified Nginx server which is called CWP server and It is used for Admin, Client & Webmail Panel Login. I am also using Let's Encrypt SSL for my CWP Admin, Client & Webmail Panel .
