Welcome to SME Server 8

Merci d'avoir choisi la SME Server comme serveur de communication et de gestion de votre réseau !

SME Server est une distribution de serveur linux open-source conçu pour être :

  • Simple à installer et utiliser: Installation et configuration de base prend moins de 20 minutes, et toutes les options de configuration peut être réglé via une interface Web.
  • Sûr et stable pour fonctionner: SME Server ne comprend que ce qui est nécessaire, ce qui veut dire que l'ensemble de ISO est d'environ 500Mo. La stabilité vient de l'utilisation paquets RPM éprouvés et d'un système de mise à jour qui vous informe des que les mises à jour sont disponibles.
  • Multiplate-forme et extensible pour répondre aux besoins futurs: SME Server a déjà tout le nécessaire pour fournir les services de base à la plupart des administrateurs qui ont besoin de gérer des réseaux sous Linux et Windows.

The heart of SME Server is based on the GPL'd sources of the unsupported developer release of SME 7.0 alpha from Mitel, who are the copyright holder for much of what makes SME Server what it is. Mitel's commercial offering is known as the "Mitel Managed Application Server", and in the past was known as e-Smith. Mitel has been very generous to fund development of the alpha and beta versions and to keep to the spirit of the GPL by sharing their source code freely.

SME Server 8 uses many packages from CentOS and RPMForge. CentOS 5 is built from publicly available open source Red Hat Enterprise Linux SRPMS and aims to be binary compatible. RPMForge is a collaborative effort of several RPM packagers that build RPMs not included with CentOS. Almost all of the packages that SME Server includes from these upstream vendors are included unmodified. The purpose of doing so is to take advantage of the stability that comes from the huge user base that uses these packages, for security, and to allow automatic updates as soon as an update is available from the upstream vendor. Security updates from Redhat/Centos should be available until 2017 for Centos 5.

Server Features

The SME Server server and gateway installs automatically on a PC, converting it to an industrial-strength communications server that optionally allows all of the computers on your network to share a single Internet connection.

In one simple, easy-to-install package, you get:

  • A high performance email server that handles email to and from your users.
  • Enhanced security features that reduce the risk of intrusion.
  • A central file server enabling seamless information exchange among Windows, Macintosh and Unix machines.
  • A web server to host your company web and/or intranet site.
  • Browser based server-manager software that makes it easy to add new user accounts, control remote access, configure network printers, set up workgroups and connect additional networks.
  • Special services that speed web and Internet access, improving the performance of your network.
  • A shared email address book that is maintained automatically.
  • i-bays, a unique communications and collaborative facility that makes it easy for users to work together on projects.
  • Quota Management - you have the ability to set a limit on the amount of a disk space a user can use for files and e-mail.
  • Windows 2000, XP and W7 domain logon support - Previous versions have allowed the server to act as a domain controller for client computers running Windows 95, 98, ME or NT. This version now extends that domain logon support to Windows 2000, XP and W7.
  • USB printer support - It is now possible to connect the SME Server to a printer via the USB port.
  • Improved Macintosh file sharing support - The server now includes better support for Macintosh file sharing and eliminates some previous cases where Macintosh users were unable to access i-bays.
  • Experimental ISDN card support - While our software has always supported external ISDN adapters, this version now includes experimental support for using an internal passive ISDN card.
  • Installation on a system with 1 hard drive is automatically set up as a degraded RAID1 mirror ready to accept a second drive if or when it is installed. Systems with 2 drives are set up as RAID 1; Systems with 3 drives are set up as RAID 1 + Hot-spare, 4-6 drives as RAID5 + 1 Hot-spare, and 7+ Drives as RAID6 + Hot-spare. See: Raid How To
  • Secure email enhancements. POP3/SSL, IMAP/SSL, SMTP/SSL, SMTP AUTH over SMTP/SSL.
  • Webmail has been upgraded to the latest versions of Horde, Imp, Turba and Ingo from horde.org
  • SMTP Email reception is now handled by qpsmtpd. Advanced but simple to use plugin system to easily install extra functionality and write local rules. Almost all features are implemented in plugins.
  • Antivirus email and hard drive scanning is now provided by ClamAV. Virus definitions are kept up to date automatically, and program updates will be available automatically via the software installer (yum).
  • Email attachment handling: Including the ability to block EXE, ZIP, PIF and automatic conversion of TNEF or UUENCODE encoded attachments to MIME.
  • Spam Filtering with Spamassassin. Automatic tagging with X-spam-status headers, and optional filtering and subject tagging. Configurable rejection levels.
  • Enhancement to the pseudonyms panel. You now have the ability to send (e.g.) support@domain1 and support@domain2 to different places, and you can now enter pseudonyms of pseudonyms.
  • Yum based Software installer panel. Approved contribs and official updates can now be installed in the server-manager. Selectable "Automatically install updates" option.
