Linux Email Server Setup

Job ID: 40544385

Budget: $250 – $750 USD

I need a complete, production-ready email server configured on a Linux host. The exact stack is still open—whether that ends up being Postfix, Zimbra, an Exchange-compatible solution, or another well-supported platform, I’m happy to take your recommendation once you understand my traffic volume and feature needs.

What matters most is that, at the end, I have:
• A secure SMTP/IMAP/POP environment with SSL/TLS, spam and malware filtering, and DKIM/SPF/DMARC properly tuned.
• User, domain, and mailbox management set up so I can easily add or remove accounts without touching the command line each time.
• Clear documentation covering every step you took, the location of key config files, and backup/restore procedures.

I’ll give you SSH access to a fresh Linux VPS along with the necessary DNS credentials. If additional tools—such as PostfixAdmin, Roundcube, or Let’s Encrypt—will simplify administration or strengthen security, please include them in your plan.

Your work is accepted when I can send and receive mail reliably from at least two external providers, have no open-relay warnings, and see a clean score on common blacklist checks. Let me know your proposed stack, timeline, and any questions you need answered to get started.
