SnappyMail is an open-source email server software designed to provide secure and reliable email communication. Installing SnappyMail on Fedora Server is a straightforward process, and this tutorial will guide you through it.
Before proceeding with the installation, make sure your Fedora Server is up-to-date by running the following command:
sudo dnf update
Also, ensure that you have root or sudo privileges on your server.
Download SnappyMail package from the official website: https://snappymail.eu/download/. Select the appropriate version depending on your system architecture. You can use the wget command to download the package directly on your server:
sudo wget -c https://snappymail.eu/download/snappymail-x86_64.rpm
Once the package is downloaded, run the following command to install it:
sudo dnf install snappymail-x86_64.rpm
The installation process will take a few moments to complete. After installation, SnappyMail service will automatically start.
The next step is to configure SnappyMail by editing its configuration file.
sudo nano /etc/snappymail/snappymail.cfg
Replace the values of MTA_HOSTNAME, SMTP_SSL_CERTFILE, and SMTP_SSL_KEYFILE with your server details.
MTA_HOSTNAME = mail.example.com
SMTP_SSL_CERTFILE = /etc/ssl/certs/mail.example.com.crt
SMTP_SSL_KEYFILE = /etc/ssl/private/mail.example.com.key
Save the file and exit.
To start the SnappyMail service, run the following command:
sudo systemctl start snappymail.service
To check the status of SnappyMail service, use the following command:
sudo systemctl status snappymail.service
If the service is running correctly, you should see a message indicating that it's active.
Now that SnappyMail is up and running, test it by sending an email to your test email address.
echo "SnappyMail test email" | mail -s "Testing SnappyMail" test@example.com
Check your test email account to confirm that you received the email.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed and configured SnappyMail on your Fedora Server. Enjoy its features and benefits.
