What I am puzzled about is the mail server. I have not used one myself and do not know if any of them, qmail, sendmail etc can talk to outlook or messenger.I have not seen the setup they have so am relying on the guy having given me the correct information at this stage. They would be happy for me to set up a new PC to do this job and I am keen to have a go. As far as I know this will be the first one in my area and want to encourage the use of Linux.
Any ideas?
Norm-
Outlook and Messenger have POP3 capability so you would need: 1)An email server 2)A pop3 server.
You can use sendmail, postfix, qmail, exim, whatever you want for email. I am migrating from Sendmail
to Postfix. One word of caution - an email server needs careful planning and you need to make yourself
familiar with setup and security. While Postfix is pretty secure by default one wrong setting and the spam
world can use your system to get their messages out. So take the time to review the docs and spend some
time getting comfortable with one email server.
