To complete Racke's answer: Sympa works well with other softwares.

I use Apache, Postfix and MySQL and have no problem running Sympa. So it's basically your choice: use the one you know more.

HOWEVER: make sure to use one that is documented already in Sympa documentation. It will make installation from scratch way easier.

Cheers!

David

I'm starting from scratch. I'm basically just wanting to feel out what the
community recommends. We have one system running Ubuntu but it just doesn't
seem to be working right. We have to reset our passwords almost everyday
right now. I would just rather rebuild as I think something was installed
incorrectly the first time.

The community has several opinions and different infrastructure concerns, so
there is no general recommendation.

Here is the list of what I prefer:

Distribution: Debian
Web server: Nginx (faster and more consistent than Apache)
Database: PostgreSQL (more mature and less surprises than MySQL / MariaDB)
Mail server: Exim (but Postfix is fine too)

Good Morning all,

Is there anyone out there that has a good step-by-step installation
for Sympa? All the ones that I have tried are either incomplete or just don't
work.


Any guidance is greatly appreciated!
Hello Brian,

it depends on a couple of things:

How do you install it? From sources?
Which distribution is installed on your server?

Database?
MTA?
Web server?
