I recently was introduced to Plesk.  I like it and wish I would have started using it years ago.  It is not free, however once installed will make your life easier than working on the raw metal.  Yes I agree there is a lot to learn and running on the bare metal can be painful and take a lot of time..... And one can learn a lot if that is your goal.

I'm evaluating ISPConfig which you might be able to use as a mail server management tool.  

Whichever way you choose will take a lot of time and effort.

Hello, everyone!

I was thinking of running my own email server for personal use and maybe a PBX system using FreeSwitch (also to avoid spam phone calls) in my min-farm. Google surprisingly bad at detecting spam, and I know I could maybe throw together a simple SMTP setup perhaps using something already made or throw something together in Erlang. -- Just like the ability to control every aspect of the server, IMHO. Anyone have experience in this department, that could give me any tips?

Thanks,

Andrew
