BlueMind is a mail solution, based on a few popular softwares such as Cyrus, Postfix, ElasticSearch or nginx, glued together using several java services.<\/p>\n
Being still under active development: look closely after each update.
\nA good practice may be to list all ports in a LISTENING state, and the process it is related to. It’s been helping me several times, identifying which process is down, without restarting the whole enchilada.<\/p>\n
BlueMind SMTP access is assumed by Postfix (*:25). Incoming mails are passed to a java process (bm-lmtp, 127.0.0.1:2400), that would eventually deliver its mail onto Cyrus (*:24).
\nBlueMind IMAP is served by nginx (*:143), proxifying requests to Cyrus (*:1143).
\nBlueMind Webmail is served by nginx as well. You may recognize a fork of Roundcube. PHP is served by php-fpm, former versions involved apaches’ mod_php.<\/p>\n
On the bright side, BlueMind provides with a fully-functionnal (and exchange compliant) mail solution. If my previous tests (2.x branch) suffered from poor cyrus configuration (could process 4 mails at a time, too slow to handle the tens of mailing-lists I’m subscribed to). On my current seutp (3.14), I had no need to modify anything. There’s nothing much to tell about BlueMind administration console. The most interesting parts being system-management related, and especially mailbox backups, archiving mails on an age (and\/or location) basis. For those familiar with Cyrus, you may use cyradm<\/em> command. deepthroat:\/etc# grep proxy \/imapd.conf You may then connect:<\/p>\n deepthroat:\/etc# cyradm -u admin0 localhost Sometimes, shit append, and you may see IOERROR<\/em> messages, followed by header CRC mismatch<\/em>, invalid cache record<\/em>, mailbox format corruption detected<\/em>, … In which case, you would need to run something like:<\/p>\n deepthroat:\/etc# \/usr\/lib\/cyrus\/bin\/reconstruct user\/admin\/nzbindex@unetresgrossebite.com<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Assuming you are using several postfix instances, relaying mails to your BlueMind server, then try to replicate virtual_aliases<\/em>, virtual_domains<\/em> and virtual_mailbox<\/em>\u00a0maps everywhere – instead of letting everything pass, and delegating actual consistency checks to your BlueMind instance.<\/p>\n Finally, note there is one critical mail service, that BlueMind does not provide: SPAM (and\/or virus) checking.

\nAlthough, BlueMind Community Edition does not support applicative updates<\/strong>: it is mandatory to re-install a new server, and the migrate your mailboxes. You may otherwise become a partner (reseller, integrator, …) or most likely, a paying customer, to be provided with BlueMind updates – in which case, you would most likely be assisted by a developer from BlueMind during the update process and your first hours, running the new version.<\/p>\n
\nOn that subject: BlueMind backups are stored on \/var\/backups\/bluemind<\/em>. Ideally, try to keep this folder onto a different physical medium.<\/p>\n
\nRetrieve your admin password:<\/p>\n
\nproxy_authname: admin0
\nproxy_password: some-alpha-numeric-chain<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
\n[enter the proxy_password value]<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
\nAssuming you can deal with spamassassin and clamav, you may want to alter postfix routing prior to sending your mail to bm-lmtp. Assuming you want to educate your spamassassin with user input, keep it running close to your cyrus server.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
