Setup exim4 as a smarthost using mta on Debian called as "zero setup". There is small shell/perl questionary ned to answer about ten questions. - using smarthost, incoming emails are coming through SMTP or fetchmail - host name for mail susbsystem - listening interfaces for incoming SMTP connection - no one - other recipients to accept to - no one - other senders from relay - no one - name of the smarthost - strip local names from mails - yes - local users domain name - myserver - minimalize DNS requests - no - Also need to firgure out what directory to use for (maildir_home) - Setup smarthost password - some email addresses - courier imap does not need any setup!? Thats all :) Recent about squirrelmail, apache2 and fetchmail. I lookup the http://www.courier-mta.org/install.html - I have seen it but it was quite terrify - work for days and continouse maintenance.
