Install IMAP Server On ReadyNAS Duo V2
Hello Forum, has anybody successful managed to bring an IMAP server to live on a ReadyNAS Duo V2 ? Or has somebody a detailed explanation at hand how to do that? This is because I like to run my...
Update Status: Sweet sound of success....
I'am very pleased to anounce, that it is indeed possible to to host a (simple) mailserver server stack on the the ReadyNAS Duo V2 without any major complexites except for the configuration part.
My setup on NAS Duo V2: fetchmail + exim4 + maildrop (not incroporated yet) + spamassasin (not incorporated yet) + dovecot + Roundcube. Maildrop is not crutial to run on a single consolidation mail account system like mine, spamassasin is optional because I've got a good provider doing that spam job for me.
Processorder of mail reception
Mail delivery
Use the PHP-SMTP client of Roundcube to send data, Exim is now needed to run, as it's managing exclusively the local mail serivce, (normaly no extra server or service needed to use SMTP via PHP), so without running Exim a login to Roundcube via Dovecot IMAP would not be possible, at least not for me.
and this is it, all nice and wind.
The configuration is mostly standard, except for a few FQDN issues, network access, special user and mail accounts, als well as the fetchmail mail list.
Now I'm a proud user of my own WebMail-IMAP-Mailbox system doing the job of my VM (Virtual Machine) stuff, anyway during testing period I've decided not allow fetchmail to delete mails from my various account's, but to collect and delete them at an irregular intervall by my old VM-Mailclient. If someting went wrong on my new mail system I can rely on a working backup system, but as futher and further the new system prooves to be fully functional I'll cut that end loose some time.
If there are further interists in a How-To IMAP/POP3 a Duo V2 I would spend time to write one.
Happy NAS

Processorder of mail reception
* Collect all email data from various accounts with fetchmail.
* Fetchmail as system-wide daemon delivers all mails (SMTP piped) to exim.
* Exim processes the mail (actually no special filter installed) and drop all mails to the fetchmail user mail box.
* Spamassain (bypassed)
* Maildrop (bypassed)
* Dovecot acts as IMAP(S) and POP3(S) server gives remote access to the mail accounts (via PAM-Auth), mails are stored in INBOX and SEND accordingly.
* Roundcube on the NAS acts as an GUI-IMAPS client and gives web-access to the mail accounts and their management, restricted to the local network.
