-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- I'm making the change from windows to a dual boot with debian- sarge and I've gotten totally stuck trying to get a mail server set up on the debian partition so that I can take windows down long enough to mess around with linux and learn some of the zillion things I don't know.
The debian install put in 'exim4' for an MTA, and despite reading man pages and spending lots of google time, I'm getting nowhere fast in learning how to get it up and running and create a few accounts to mirror the Mercury32 server I'm running in windows. TLS would be nice, but SMTP-Auth is essential 'cause I don't want to be an open relay but I do make my server available to a few people who need to access it from outside my lan (everybody on dynamic I.P.'s), and being able to offer SMTP-Auth/TLS on at least one non-standard port would also be helpfull. The big problem is that all the helps and man pages I've found locally, on the debian site, or anywhere else google can point me to, all assume that the user is a lot more knowledgeable about linux than I am right now. Unfortuantely for me, that's not going to change untill after I can get the mailserver situated, 'till then I have to drop back to windows every hour or two so Mercury can do it's thing. If there's a help or guide for setting this thing up that assumes the reader is sitting in front of his first linux install I'd sure be gratefull. Thanks - -- I want my food dead. Not wounded, Not sick, Dead. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: N/A iQEUAwUBQ1MhghS6pNBIVkGTAQHRLAf4xMr0QRMWuit8EM5JbPCieEuOfI6lcoa4 XdiBrq7VKwZiuL1pGa5YGZiq3lc7Fmfy10grXot8MvrGhTL/TJAkDe/zFF+Ctehx 67zb0HsVtJOFbd1G/gKo4PAqNuuZXvpJRwhVsV35UOILW+RNhPanHyMyzW5JMdb6 hNhLclr1XNZ/PXMlpjhXp/IYfu0m8nIxcQobpfoVvAo1cY735oBiRsNrsvtmemnC YOAon/1IaR5Oqcaav3/EK5fS7iLc8fQTJr8ife9N2wltguNT97m+OBa6aCqWESCl 8NvEHc0vkbLcLiqyFV61mRfEvqfwcbH9mSZqb26hgn8YXNqaoF8Q =EWe8 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- ## List details at http://www.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-users ## Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ## Please use the Wiki with this list - http://www.exim.org/eximwiki/
