The Perfect Setup – Debian

This is a detailed description about the steps to be taken to setup a Debian based server that offers all services needed by ISPs and hosters (web
server (SSL-capable), mail server (with SMTP-AUTH and TLS!), DNS server, FTP server, MySQL server, POP3, Quota, Firewall, etc.).

I will use the
following software:

• Web Server:
  Apache 1.3.x
• Mail Server:
  Postfix (easier to configure than sendmail; has a shorter history of security
  holes than sendmail)
• DNS Server:
  BIND9
• FTP Server:
  proftpd (you could also use vsftpd)
• POP3: in this
  example I will use qpopper.
• Webalizer for
  web site statistics
