A year ago, I started an experiment. I wanted to quit gmail and gtalk services and prove me that I could host my emails and my IM myself. It went quite well but I decided to stop and subscribed to fastmail.fm and to hosted.im.

Installation

A year ago, I spent some days installing a fully functionnal mail/web/jabber server. Hopefully, I had some good tutorials about setting up a mail server. On the jabber side, it was quite easy even if sometime, my WTF-o-meter level was really high. I blame my totally absent knowledge of erlang and mnesia here.
