Question

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.

You have to configure your DNS for mail.example.com on the second droplet which is your mail server and also your web server for mail.example.com

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.

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
