SUMMARY OF THE INTERNSHIP
After 3 years in HCMC International University, I have taken many courses of Network
Engineering so I decided to take internship at ATHENA. Because, ATHENA is a center
that specializes in network and system fields. At ATHENA, I take a project that requires
me to build a mail server on Linux for enterprise.
First, I have to get used to new Linux OS: Centos 6.5. Although, I approached another
Linux OS in coursers in university. I must learn how to control Centos with commands in
terminal.
Second, I must build on local host in order to get used to the configuration of mail
services. Two Linux virtual machines need to be installed (server and client) to test the
mail exchange.
Next, I must correct bugs by myself. I can look for documents, solutions…from internet
or from friends to solve the problems. If it still does not work, I must discuss with the
instructor to get the solutions or the instructions.
Finally, I must build a mail server on VPS. Here, I have to set up putty to access the VPS
in order to configure. My mission is to make the VPS become a Linux mail server that
can connect with yahoo mail and gmail. If it does not exchange mail with gmail or yahoo
vii
mail, I must fix bugs. My work is done if the VPS works correctly as the instructor
requires.

INTERNSHIP ACTIVITIES AND ACHIEVEMENTS
A/ Email Protocols:
Interactions between email servers and clients are governed by email protocols.
The three most common email protocols are POP, IMAP. Most email software
operates under one of these (and many products support more than one).
The Post Office Protocol (currently in version 3, hence POP3) allows email client
software to retrieve email from a remote server. The Internet Message Access
Protocol (now in version 4 or IMAP4) allows a local email client to access email
messages that reside on a remote server. The SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer
Protocol) protocol is used by the Mail Transfer Agent (MTA) to deliver your
email to the recipient's mail server
1. Post Office Protocol (POP):
POP is the older design, and hails from an era when intermittent connection via
modem (dial-up) was the norm. POP allows users to retrieve email when
connected, and then act on the retrieved messages without needing to stay "on-
line." This is an important benefit when connection charges are expensive.
The basic POP procedure is to retrieve all inbound messages for storage on the
client, delete them on server, and then disconnect. (The email server functions
like a mailbox at the Post Office -- a temporary holding area until mail gets to its
final destination, your computer.)
xi
Outbound mail is generated on the client, and held for transmission to the email
server until the next time the user's connection is active. After it's uploaded, the
server forwards the outgoing mail to other email servers, until it reaches its final
destination.
Most POP clients also provide an option to leave copies of email on the server. In
this case, messages are only removed from the server when greater than a certain
"age" or when they have been explicitly deleted on the client. It's the copies on
the client that are considered the "real" ones, however, with those left on the
server merely temporary backups.
2. Internet Access Message Protocol (IMAP):
IMAP is the newer protocol and oriented toward a "connected" mode of
operation. The standard IMAP procedure is to leave messages on the
server instead of retrieving copies, so email is only accessible when "on-
line."
IMAP is more suited to a world of always-on connections, particularly the
fast connections offered by broadband mechanisms. Having to be
connected to read your email is a trivial obstacle when the connection is
always available. (It's a little like leaving your messages at the Post
Office, and going there every time you want to read them. That might be
difficult in the physical world, but it's easy in the virtual one.)
xii
Because messages remain on the server, until explicitly deleted by the
user, they can be accessed by multiple client computers -- an important
advantage when you use more than one computer to check your email.
IMAP does not preclude keeping copies on the client, but, in an inversion
of the way POP works, it's the server's copies that are considered the "real"
ones. That offers an important security benefit -- you won't lose your
email if, for some reason, your client computer's storage media fails.
IMAP has other advantages over POP (detailed in the links provided
below). It is the standard we recommend if you can't use MAPI.
3. The Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP):
At the risk of overloading you with information, you should know that
strictly speaking it's only the incoming mail that is handled by a POP or
IMAP protocol. Outgoing mail for both POP and IMAP clients uses the
Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP).
When you set up a POP or IMAP email account on email client software,
you must specify the name of the (POP or IMAP) mail server computer for
incoming mail. You must also specify the name of the (SMTP) server
computer for outgoing mail. These names are typically in the same form
xiii
as Web addresses (e.g., "imap.med.miami.edu"). Depending on the client,
there may also be specifications for email directories and searching.
B/ Email Structure:
o Mail User Agent (MUA): is a program that allows you to receive and
send e-mail messages; it's usually just called an e-mail program. To use an
MUA such as Eudora or Microsoft Outlook, you install the MUA program
on your computer and then use it to download and store e-mail messages
to your computer; it will also allow you to read or write messages offline.
Web-based MUAs, such as Hotmail and Yahoo, store messages on their
own mail servers and allow access to them through a Web page. An MUA
is sometimes called an e-mail agent or an e-mail client.
xiv
o Mail Transport Agent (MTA): is an application that receives incoming
e-mail from local users (people within the same domain) and remote
senders and forwards outgoing e-mail for delivery. A computer dedicated
to running such applications is also called a mail server. Microsoft
Exchange, qmail, Exim and sendmail are among the more common mail
server programs.
o Mail Delivery Agent (MDA): is the software and other systems that are
responsible for sending and receiving mail between systems. That is the
ONLY things MTAs do: they send and receive messages between systems.
MTAs use the SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) to send and receive
messages.
o Mail Submission Agent (MSA): is a computer program or software
agent that receives electronic mail messages from a mail user
agent (MUA) and cooperates with a mail transfer agent (MTA) for
delivery of the mail. It uses a variant of the Simple Mail Transfer
Protocol (SMTP), as specified in RFC 6409.
o Mail Access Agent/ Mail Retrieval Agent (MAA/MRA): is
a computer application that retrieves or fetches e-mail from a remote mail
server and works with a mail delivery agent to deliver mail to a local or
remote email mailbox. MRAs may be external applications by themselves
xv
or be built into a bigger application like an MUA. Significant examples of
standalone MRAs include fetchmail, getmail and retchmail.
C/ Mail Server (Postfix, Dovecot…) for Enterprise on Linux:
This is a Linux mail server for small and medium companies/enterprises with low
investment. However, it is stable and effective.
o Postfix is Wietse Venema's mail server that started life at IBM research as
an alternative to the widely-used Sendmail program. Postfix attempts to be
fast, easy to administer, and secure. The outside has a definite Sendmail-
ish flavor, but the inside is completely different.
o Dovecot is an open source IMAP and POP3 email server for Linux/UNIX-
like systems, written with security primarily in mind. Dovecot is an
excellent choice for both small and large installations. It's fast, simple to
set up, requires no special administration and it uses very little memory.

o SquirrelMail is a standards-based webmail package written in PHP. It
includes built-in pure PHP support for the IMAP and SMTP protocols, and
all pages render in pure HTML 4.0 (with no JavaScript required) for
maximum compatibility across browsers. It has very few requirements and
is very easy to configure and install. SquirrelMail has all the functionality
you would want from an email client, including strong MIME support,
address books, and folder manipulation.
D/ System Requirement:
o The linux system requires normal hardware support, a linux server with medium
configuration can work stably and effectively. For example, a mail server with
configuration: CPU Pentium III 600MHZ, RAM 256MB, HDD 40GB can serve
from 300 to 400 users.
o Soft wares are required to install on a Linux mail server:
• Operating System: Centos 6.5 running with command line.
• SMTP Server: Postfix 2.3.3
• POP3/IMAP Server: 1.0.7
• Web Mail: SquirrelMail 1.4.8
• Web Server: Apache 2.2.3
Depending on the requirements, all the soft wares can be updated to the
newer version.
E/ Start building the mail server:
I/ Starting with local host:
1. Configure static IP address:
Server:
xvii
# vi /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
BOOTPROTO=static
IPADDR=192.168.1.245
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
GATEWAY=192.168.1.254
Client:
# vi /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
BOOTPROTO=static
IPADDR=192.168.1.240
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
GATEWAY=192.168.1.250
2. Configure hostname:
# vi /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 mail.athena.lab
129.168.1.245 mail.athena.lab
# vi /etc/sysconfig/network
NETWORKING=yes
NETWORKING_IPV6=yes
HOSTNAME=mail.athena.lab
3. Configure DNS:
The DNS is a hierarchical distributed naming system for computers,
services, or any resource connected to the Internet or a private network. It
associates various information with domain names assigned to each of the
participating entities. Most prominently, it translates easily
memorized domain names to the numerical IP addresses needed for the
purpose of locating computer services and devices worldwide. The
Domain Name System is an essential component of the functionality of
the Internet.

INTERNSHIP ASSESSMENT
During the internship period, I have gained new knowledge and many experiences from
my project. Firstly, I must take time to research about the Centos in order to understand
how it works. After researching, I recognized the differences between Centos and the
other OS, moreover, I have learned the way to control the Centos by using commands in
terminal. Secondly, I had chance to work with a real server, thanks to that, I knew how to
make it run correctly and fix bugs when problems happen. Next, by learning, I have
understood deeply about the mail protocols, dns, network configuration, network
problems… All of the experiences and knowledge that I have gained from the internship
will be helpful for my future career, because now I am taking the courses of Network
Engineering in university and in the future, as an network engineer, I will face with many
problems of systems, network, servers… However, during the internship period, I found
myself lack of basic knowledge, so beside researching via internet, I also re-learned
myself some courses that I have taken before.

  • 5. DESCRIPTION OF COMPANY/ORGANIZATION ATHENA is a center of education and training of IT fields. It was established in 2004. This is the center in which many experienced IT engineers work and study in order to contribute to the development of IT fields in Vietnam. The major fields of ATHENA: o ATHENA center focus deeply on education and training of system and network security, network management and maintenance following the standard quality of Microsoft, Cisco, Oracle, Linux LPI, CEH…Moreover, ATHENA center also has the private program of education and training for some government organizations. o After 10 years, many trainees of ATHENA center do the job in IT fields for some government organizations and also for the big companies. o Besides education and training programs, ATHENA center also cooperate and exchange technology with some universities such as university of technology, university of information technology, natural and university of science… The instructors of ATHENA: v
  • 6. o ATHENA instructors graduate from many big universities in Vietnam. They all have to get international certificates such as MCSA, MCSE, CCNA, CCNP, Security+, CEH, Microsoft Certified Trainer…in order to work at ATHENA. o ATHENA instructors usually go abroad to be trained about the new technologies and then they transmit those new technologies to the trainees. vi
  • 7. SUMMARY OF THE INTERNSHIP After 3 years in HCMC International University, I have taken many courses of Network Engineering so I decided to take internship at ATHENA. Because, ATHENA is a center that specializes in network and system fields. At ATHENA, I take a project that requires me to build a mail server on Linux for enterprise. First, I have to get used to new Linux OS: Centos 6.5. Although, I approached another Linux OS in coursers in university. I must learn how to control Centos with commands in terminal. Second, I must build on local host in order to get used to the configuration of mail services. Two Linux virtual machines need to be installed (server and client) to test the mail exchange. Next, I must correct bugs by myself. I can look for documents, solutions…from internet or from friends to solve the problems. If it still does not work, I must discuss with the instructor to get the solutions or the instructions. Finally, I must build a mail server on VPS. Here, I have to set up putty to access the VPS in order to configure. My mission is to make the VPS become a Linux mail server that can connect with yahoo mail and gmail. If it does not exchange mail with gmail or yahoo vii
  • 8. mail, I must fix bugs. My work is done if the VPS works correctly as the instructor requires. viii
  • 9. PLANNING Week 1: o Seeing the instructor to get the project. o Reading and understanding document. o Asking question if necessary. o Writing report. Week 2: o Reading and understanding Linux OS. o Get used to Centos 6.5 o Writing report. Week 3: o Setting up VMware. o Setting up Centos 6.5 on 2 virtual machines (server and client). o Installing telnet, postfix and dovecot services on server. o Writing report. Week 4: o Configuring network (Ethernet, hosts…). o Configuring postfix and dovecot o Testing telnet service. o Writing report. Week 5: o Installing squirrelmail on server and thunderbird on client. o Configuring squirrelmail and thunderbird. o Sending mail between server and client via squirrelmail and thunderbird. o Writing report. Week 6: o Having a VPS. o Installing telnet, postfix and dovecot service on VPS. o Installing squirrelmail on VPS and thunderbird on the laptop. o Writing report. Week 7: ix
  • 10. o Configuring postfix and dovecot. o Configuring squirrelmail and thunderbird. o Exchange mail with gmail and yahoo mail. o Writing report. Week 8: o Fix errors. o Exchange mail with gmail and yahoo mail again. o Writing final report. o Having a project presentation. x
  • 11. INTERNSHIP ACTIVITIES AND ACHIEVEMENTS A/ Email Protocols: Interactions between email servers and clients are governed by email protocols. The three most common email protocols are POP, IMAP. Most email software operates under one of these (and many products support more than one). The Post Office Protocol (currently in version 3, hence POP3) allows email client software to retrieve email from a remote server. The Internet Message Access Protocol (now in version 4 or IMAP4) allows a local email client to access email messages that reside on a remote server. The SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) protocol is used by the Mail Transfer Agent (MTA) to deliver your email to the recipient's mail server 1. Post Office Protocol (POP): POP is the older design, and hails from an era when intermittent connection via modem (dial-up) was the norm. POP allows users to retrieve email when connected, and then act on the retrieved messages without needing to stay "on- line." This is an important benefit when connection charges are expensive. The basic POP procedure is to retrieve all inbound messages for storage on the client, delete them on server, and then disconnect. (The email server functions like a mailbox at the Post Office -- a temporary holding area until mail gets to its final destination, your computer.) xi
  • 12. Outbound mail is generated on the client, and held for transmission to the email server until the next time the user's connection is active. After it's uploaded, the server forwards the outgoing mail to other email servers, until it reaches its final destination. Most POP clients also provide an option to leave copies of email on the server. In this case, messages are only removed from the server when greater than a certain "age" or when they have been explicitly deleted on the client. It's the copies on the client that are considered the "real" ones, however, with those left on the server merely temporary backups. 2. Internet Access Message Protocol (IMAP): IMAP is the newer protocol and oriented toward a "connected" mode of operation. The standard IMAP procedure is to leave messages on the server instead of retrieving copies, so email is only accessible when "on- line." IMAP is more suited to a world of always-on connections, particularly the fast connections offered by broadband mechanisms. Having to be connected to read your email is a trivial obstacle when the connection is always available. (It's a little like leaving your messages at the Post Office, and going there every time you want to read them. That might be difficult in the physical world, but it's easy in the virtual one.) xii
  • 13. Because messages remain on the server, until explicitly deleted by the user, they can be accessed by multiple client computers -- an important advantage when you use more than one computer to check your email. IMAP does not preclude keeping copies on the client, but, in an inversion of the way POP works, it's the server's copies that are considered the "real" ones. That offers an important security benefit -- you won't lose your email if, for some reason, your client computer's storage media fails. IMAP has other advantages over POP (detailed in the links provided below). It is the standard we recommend if you can't use MAPI. 3. The Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP): At the risk of overloading you with information, you should know that strictly speaking it's only the incoming mail that is handled by a POP or IMAP protocol. Outgoing mail for both POP and IMAP clients uses the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP). When you set up a POP or IMAP email account on email client software, you must specify the name of the (POP or IMAP) mail server computer for incoming mail. You must also specify the name of the (SMTP) server computer for outgoing mail. These names are typically in the same form xiii
  • 14. as Web addresses (e.g., "imap.med.miami.edu"). Depending on the client, there may also be specifications for email directories and searching. B/ Email Structure: o Mail User Agent (MUA): is a program that allows you to receive and send e-mail messages; it's usually just called an e-mail program. To use an MUA such as Eudora or Microsoft Outlook, you install the MUA program on your computer and then use it to download and store e-mail messages to your computer; it will also allow you to read or write messages offline. Web-based MUAs, such as Hotmail and Yahoo, store messages on their own mail servers and allow access to them through a Web page. An MUA is sometimes called an e-mail agent or an e-mail client. xiv
  • 15. o Mail Transport Agent (MTA): is an application that receives incoming e-mail from local users (people within the same domain) and remote senders and forwards outgoing e-mail for delivery. A computer dedicated to running such applications is also called a mail server. Microsoft Exchange, qmail, Exim and sendmail are among the more common mail server programs. o Mail Delivery Agent (MDA): is the software and other systems that are responsible for sending and receiving mail between systems. That is the ONLY things MTAs do: they send and receive messages between systems. MTAs use the SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) to send and receive messages. o Mail Submission Agent (MSA): is a computer program or software agent that receives electronic mail messages from a mail user agent (MUA) and cooperates with a mail transfer agent (MTA) for delivery of the mail. It uses a variant of the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP), as specified in RFC 6409. o Mail Access Agent/ Mail Retrieval Agent (MAA/MRA): is a computer application that retrieves or fetches e-mail from a remote mail server and works with a mail delivery agent to deliver mail to a local or remote email mailbox. MRAs may be external applications by themselves xv
  • 16. or be built into a bigger application like an MUA. Significant examples of standalone MRAs include fetchmail, getmail and retchmail. C/ Mail Server (Postfix, Dovecot…) for Enterprise on Linux: This is a Linux mail server for small and medium companies/enterprises with low investment. However, it is stable and effective. o Postfix is Wietse Venema's mail server that started life at IBM research as an alternative to the widely-used Sendmail program. Postfix attempts to be fast, easy to administer, and secure. The outside has a definite Sendmail- ish flavor, but the inside is completely different. o Dovecot is an open source IMAP and POP3 email server for Linux/UNIX- like systems, written with security primarily in mind. Dovecot is an excellent choice for both small and large installations. It's fast, simple to set up, requires no special administration and it uses very little memory. xvi Thunderbird, Outlook, Squirrelmail… POSTFIX Authenticate DOVECOT MailStore MailBox (File Linux) PROCMAIL SpamAssanssin
  • 17. o SquirrelMail is a standards-based webmail package written in PHP. It includes built-in pure PHP support for the IMAP and SMTP protocols, and all pages render in pure HTML 4.0 (with no JavaScript required) for maximum compatibility across browsers. It has very few requirements and is very easy to configure and install. SquirrelMail has all the functionality you would want from an email client, including strong MIME support, address books, and folder manipulation. D/ System Requirement: o The linux system requires normal hardware support, a linux server with medium configuration can work stably and effectively. For example, a mail server with configuration: CPU Pentium III 600MHZ, RAM 256MB, HDD 40GB can serve from 300 to 400 users. o Soft wares are required to install on a Linux mail server: • Operating System: Centos 6.5 running with command line. • SMTP Server: Postfix 2.3.3 • POP3/IMAP Server: 1.0.7 • Web Mail: SquirrelMail 1.4.8 • Web Server: Apache 2.2.3 Depending on the requirements, all the soft wares can be updated to the newer version.

Configure DNS: The DNS is a hierarchical distributed naming system for computers, services, or any resource connected to the Internet or a private network. It associates various information with domain names assigned to each of the participating entities. Most prominently, it translates easily memorized domain names to the numerical IP addresses needed for the purpose of locating computer services and devices worldwide. The Domain Name System is an essential component of the functionality of the Internet. Install packages with command: xviii

  • 34. INTERNSHIP ASSESSMENT During the internship period, I have gained new knowledge and many experiences from my project. Firstly, I must take time to research about the Centos in order to understand how it works. After researching, I recognized the differences between Centos and the other OS, moreover, I have learned the way to control the Centos by using commands in terminal. Secondly, I had chance to work with a real server, thanks to that, I knew how to make it run correctly and fix bugs when problems happen. Next, by learning, I have understood deeply about the mail protocols, dns, network configuration, network problems… All of the experiences and knowledge that I have gained from the internship will be helpful for my future career, because now I am taking the courses of Network Engineering in university and in the future, as an network engineer, I will face with many problems of systems, network, servers… However, during the internship period, I found myself lack of basic knowledge, so beside researching via internet, I also re-learned myself some courses that I have taken before. xxxiv
