Step 1: Update your Ubuntu Server

Run the following command to update your Ubuntu Server.

Step 2: Set the Hostname of Server

You need to set the hostname of your Ubuntu Server. You can set your own hostname, but we are using "mail.example.com" in this tutorial.

Then, add the hostname and the IP address to the /etc/hosts file.

Save the file and exit.

Step 3: Install iRedMail

iRedMail provides an installation script for Ubuntu Server, which makes the installation process easier. Download the iRedMail installation script with the following command:

wget https://github.com/iredmail/iRedMail/archive/1.4.2.tar.gz

Extract the downloaded file.

tar -zxvf 1.4.2.tar.gz

Change your directory to the extracted directory:

cd iRedMail-1.4.2

Make the iRedMail.sh file executable with the following command.

chmod +x iRedMail.sh

Then, run the iRedMail.sh installation script with the following command.

sudo bash iRedMail.sh

The script will start installing iRedMail on your Ubuntu Server with some prompts. Follow the prompts to configure your mail server.

After the installation process is complete, you can access the iRedMail admin panel by going to the following URL:

https://mail.example.com/iredadmin

Step 4: Configure your Mail Server

Once you have successfully installed iRedMail, you need to configure your mail server. To do this, you need to configure DNS records for your server. You also need to configure the email users and domains.
