As we can see, many VPS users are not used to build websites, but to create email servers and send emails. Therefore, the old left also learns such functions. To learn how to build an email server, you must first use the free open-source iRedMail software. IRedMail can quickly deploy the mail server solution in environments such as Red Hat, CentOS, SDebian, and Ubuntu. In this article, the old left shares the process of successfully building a Centos 6 32-bit system. 1. Update the system installation package
Yum update
The system installation package must be updated before installation.
2. modify the current VPS host name HOSTNAME
In general, we use VPS to check that the general host name is not the root domain name we need to set through "hostname-f.
A-edit the/etc/sysconfig/network file and set hostname to mail.laozuo.org
B-edit the/etc/hosts file and add the script 127.0.0.1 mail.laozuo.org mail localhost. localdomain localhost to the file above. Change the script to our host name.
After the VPS is restarted, use "hostname-f" to check whether the current host name has changed to what we need.
Third, domain name resolution
We need to set A record and MX record resolution in domain name DNS resolution. Here, the old left is the domain name post office using DNSPOD. The settings are as follows:

This is only the resolution of our domain name, A record and MX record, used for post office purposes.

4. Download and install iRedMail

cd /root/wget http://www.iredmail.com/iRedMail-0.8.7.tar.bz2tar xjf iRedMail-0.8.7.tar.bz2cd iRedMail-0.8.7bash iRedMail.sh

Enter the preceding download and installation steps, and the installation will be automatically performed. Note that the downloaded installation package contains a messy string. If it is manually modified by SFTP, decompress and install the package.
