SurgeBlog

Surgeblog is a version of surgemail that is preconfigured primarily as a blogging server. In particular there are the following differences from a normal surgemail distribution:

To create accounts for bloggers just use the accounts section of web admin interface and create accounts as for email. The quota setting will control disk use for blogs as well as email.

The main blog settings can be found here. Note there are additional setting under advanced. In addition to controlling access and quota facilities on system wide basis you can set domain and group limits. Group limits are set by first defining groups and then setting limits for particular groups.

If you are using SurgeBlog in conjunction with an existing email server and/or web server you may need to consider what ports and ip addresses should be used by SurgeBlog, particularly if SurgeBlog is running on the same machine as the other servers. On installation surgeblog will have picked ports for both its web interface and for receiving and sending email. In addition to setting alternate ports to avoid conflict with existing servers you can assign multiple IP addresses to a single machine and tell surgeblog to bind to a particular address - in this way you can enable it to use standard ports even when an exisiting email or web server is running on the same machine.
