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.
