Background
We now live in an area where our link to the internet is an expensive wireless connection using the cellular system.
Members of our family emails each other a lot, with large attachments such as videos, pictures, etc.
Goal
I want to set-up a LAN mail server that we can use for family members where the mail just stays within the LAN and does not go out onto the Internet.
Progress
I installed Ubuntu 12.04 LTS Server 64 bit on a spare machine following the guide at this web site:
The Perfect Server - Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (Apache2, BIND, Dovecot, ISPConfig 3) (http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-server-ubuntu-12.04-lts-apache2-bind-dovecot-ispconfig-3)
Results
The domain I am using is made up (e.g. arbutusgrove.net) and I suspect that I also need to have the server act as its own DNS
Questions
What do I need to do to get this working?
Can you recommend links to further advice on this topic?
Thank you,
Peter
