Abstract

Mail server is a server that being use for the processing of the e-mail delivery across the network. Using the mail server, e-mail can be sent and receive by the client. Mail server acts as the electronic mailbox that will store the e-mail that have been receive from the client. To retrieve the e-mail, client needs to get it from the mailbox. In the exiting environment, PC is being used as a mail server. Using PC as a mail server is not an option before. This is because only PC can acts as a server. But now day PC is only as an option, in this research, Raspberry Pi is used as the mail server. Raspberry pi is a microprocessor that has a size of a credit card that can works as a normal computer. Raspberry Pi is being used to overcome the problem with the existing mail server. The cost for built up a mail server using PC is quite expensive because its need a few number of hardware to be used. To setup a mail server using Raspberry Pi is not expensive because the hardware that only need is a board of the Pi. Raspberry Pi also overcomes the problem in term of portability. PC is not portable because of the size that quite big compare to Raspberry Pi that has a small size. In this research, Postfix and Dovecot services will be used to configure the Raspberry Pi as mail server. The analysis of the performance between Raspberry Pi and the existing mail server have been done in this research to prove that the Raspberry Pi also can works as a mail server.
