The following article will guide you through the steps of installing and setting up a mailserver using Exim and Dovecot on a CentOS 7 VPS.
For this tutorial, we are using one of our CentOS-based managed VPS hosting plans, pre-installed with minimal CentOS 7 OS.
What is Exim?
Exim is a mail transfer agent (MTA) used on Unix-like operating systems. Exim is free software distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License, and it aims to be a general and flexible mailer with extensive facilities for checking incoming e-mail.

The following article is part 6 of the mailserver set-up with virtual users and domains using Postfix and Dovecot series. It covers the steps used to set-up server-side email filtering with Dovecot Sieve and Roundcube on a CentOS 6 VPS
At the end of this article you will end up having the ability to set-up your own server-side mail filter rules and automatically deliver emails to specific maildir based on a filter rule.
What is all this about?
The project behind this is known as Pigeonhole. It’s great because it adds support for the Sieve language (RFC 5228) and the ManageSieve protocol (RFC 5804) to the Dovecot Secure IMAP Server. Additionally, one can easily manage these filter rules via Roundcube’s web interface.
The following article is part 4 of our mailserver set-up with virtual users and domains using Postfix and Dovecot on a CentOS 6 VPS, followed by part 2 which explains how to install and set-up the Roundcube webmail interface on a linux vps server and then part 3 which is all about how to set-up an SSL encrypted connection in Postfix, Dovecot and Apache using SSL certificates.
In this tutorial we are going to set-up SpamAssassin on one of our CentOS 6 linux virtual servers and integrate it into our Postfix mailserver set-up so it can scan and mark the emails detected as SPAM.
What is SpamAssassin?
It is a program released under the Apache License 2.0 used for e-mail spam filtering based on content-matching rules.
