Hi, i have deployed django app with domain(assume that example.com), So now i want to use mail server in one droplet like mail.example.com. After a long time of configuring [this](http:// "www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-configure-a-mail-server-using-postfix-dovecot-mysql-and-spamassasin") i stopped this and trying to find an easier solution and i found iRedMail with [this](http:// "www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-iredmail-on-ubuntu-12-04-x64"). So i installed a "iRedMail" somehow, because i'm guessing "iRedMail" needed some configuration to nginx. After installed iRedMail commandline shows example.com/mail will be a webmail, but it's not working when i loaded example.com/mail. I'm such a noob so please can anyone help me to find the right path.

I mean my web server and mail server both on one droplet. Am i have to write config on nginx.conf file???

I believe iRedMail doesn't work under nginx natively. I would recommend installing the mail server on a separate droplet (which would run Apache2).

You can try to configure nginx to serve iRedMail but there's no guarantee that it will work https://www.digitalocean.com/community/questions/how-do-i-make-iredadmin-from-iredmail-work-under-nginx-ubuntu-13-04-x64.

instead of installing iRedMail? in order to do working mail server alongside my web app?

Yes, you can do that.

So i did everything mentioned in here(https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-configure-a-mail-server-using-postfix-dovecot-mysql-and-spamassasin) except ssl configuration. Then i'm trying to connect my email address to thunderbird. However, i got error
