 +   
 +Now edit /etc/postfix/aliases and modifiy it to your needs : 
  
 +  root  :         slackware_user
 +  office:   slackware_user
 +  
 +Now update your aliases database issuing the command :
 +
 +  # postalias hash:/etc/postfix/aliases   
 +It is now time to make our important configurations for Postfix in order for it to run. 
 +  # joe /etc/postfix/main.cf
 +  myhostname = mx.yourdomain.tld
 +  mydomain = yourdomain.tld 
 +  myorigin = $mydomain
 +  inet_interfaces = all
 +  mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, localhost, $mydomain
 +  mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8
 +Let's now configure Postfix to authenticate users using SASL
 +  # mkdir /etc/sasl2
 +  # cd /etc/sasl2
 +  # touch smtpd.conf
 +  # joe smtpd.conf 
 +
 +  pwcheck_method: saslauthd
 +  mech_list: PLAIN LOGIN
 +Now let's configure Postfix to have users authenticate using SASL. Edit /etc/postfix/main.cf and add the folowing code to the end of the file :
 +  smtpd_sasl_auth_enable = yes   
 +  broken_sasl_auth_clients = yes  
 +  smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_mynetworks, permit_sasl_authenticated, reject_unauth_destination
 +Let's start the daemons and test our configurations until now:
 +  # saslauthd -a shadow
 +  # postfix start
 +Then from another machine telnet into your mail server on port 25 and issue the following commands :
 +  # telnet mx.mailserver.com 25
 +  ehlo user.mailserver.tld   
 +  250-mx.mailserver.com
 +  250-PIPELINING
 +  250-SIZE 10240000

 +====== Installing Mail Delivery and Cyrus IMAP ======
 +
 +  # cd /tmp

 +  # cd /tmp/cyrus-imap
 +  # groupadd -g 238 cyrus
 +  # useradd -d /var/imap -s /bin/sh -u 238 -g 238 cyrus -G mail 
 +  # sh cyrus-imapd.SlackBuild
 +  # installpkg /tmp/cyrus-imapd-2.4.12-x86_64-1_SBo.tgz
 +  # mkdir -m 750 -p /var/imap /var/spool/imap /var/sieve
 +  # chown cyrus:mail /var/imap /var/spool/imap /var/sieve
 +  # su - cyrus
 +  # /usr/doc/cyrus-imapd-2.4.12/tools/mkimap
 +  # su - root
 +Edit /etc/imapd.conf and add the following lines:
 +  sasl_mech_list: PLAIN LOGIN
 +  allowplaintext: yes  
 +Edit /etc/postfix/main.cf and at mailbox_transport add the following:
 +  mailbox_transport = lmtp:unix:/var/imap/socket/lmtp
 +The last step to do is to add users to your imap server. For that you need to issue these commands :
 +  # passwd cyrus
 +and add a password for cyrus user
 +  # cyradm --user cyrus --server localhost --auth plain    
 +  localhost>cm user.slackware_user 
 +  localhost>lm
 +  localhost> quit
 +<note>slackware_user is the user you have created in your slackware machine</note>  
 +At this point we have an functional Mail Server but with users authenticating in plain text . So the next step is innevitabile.
 +
 +====== SSL / TLS Postfix and Cyrus ======
 +
 +Let's start by creating our certificates and configuring POSTFIX to use STARTTLS.
 +  # cd /etc/ssl
 +  # misc/CA.pl -newca ( complete all entries)
 +  # openssl req -new -nodes -keyout mailkey.pem -out mailreq.pem -days 36500
 +  # openssl ca -out mail_signed_cert.pem -infiles mailreq.pem
 +  # cp /etc/ssl/mailkey.pem /etc/postfix
 +  # cp /etc/ssl/mail_signed_cert.pem /etc/postfix
 +  # chown root /etc/postfix/mailkey.pem
 +  # chmod 400 /etc/postfix/mailkey.pem
 +  # cp /etc/ssl/demoCA/cacert.pem /etc/postfix
 +Now add the followings to /etc/postfix/main.cf :
 +  smtpd_use_tls = yes
 +  smtpd_tls_key_file = /etc/postfix/mailkey.pem
 +  smtpd_tls_cert_file = /etc/postfix/mail_signed_cert.pem
 +  smtpd_tls_CAfile = /etc/postfix/cacert.pem
 +<note important>In /etc/postfix/master.cf delete the "#" sign from smtps and the next two columns from it
 +                   smtps     inet  n       -       n       -       -       smtpd
 +                     -o smtpd_tls_wrappermode=yes
 +                     -o smtpd_sasl_auth_enable=yes
 +</note>
 +Now let's configure IMAP to use STARTTLS
 +  # openssl req -new -nodes -out req.pem -keyout key.pem  
 +  # openssl rsa -in key.pem -out new.key.pem
 +  # openssl x509 -in req.pem -out ca-cert -req -signkey new.key.pem -days 36500
 +  # cp new.key.pem /var/imap/server.pem
 +  # rm new.key.pem
 +  # cat ca-cert >> /var/imap/server.pem
 +  # chown cyrus:mail /var/imap/server.pem
 +  # chmod 600 /var/imap/server.pem 
 +  # echo tls_ca_file: /var/imap/server.pem >> /etc/imapd.conf
 +  # echo tls_cert_file: /var/imap/server.pem >> /etc/imapd.conf
 +  # echo tls_key_file: /var/imap/server.pem >> /etc/imapd.conf 
 +  
 +====== Adding daemons to rc.local ======
 +  
 +Now the last step is to add all daemons to rc.local so they can start when machine boots. So open /etc/rc.d/rc.local and add these lines :
 +  # Starting saslauthd daemon
 +  if [ ! -r /var/state/saslauthd/saslauthd.pid ]; then
 +      echo "Starting SASL authentication daemon:  /usr/sbin/saslauthd -a shadow"
 +      /usr/sbin/saslauthd -a shadow
 +  fi
  
 +  # Starting IMAP daemon
 +  if [ -x /usr/libexec/cyrus/master ]; then
 +      echo "Starting Cyrus IMAP daemon:  /usr/libexec/cyrus/master"
 +      /etc/rc.d/rc.cyrus-imapd start
 +  fi
  
 +  # Starting POSTFIX daemon
 +  /etc/rc.d/rc.postfix start
 +
