Everyone is going to have their own preferences for these utilities and their own reasons for doing so. In my opinion if you are looking to do serious deployments of the above (read performance / scalibility / uptime are important) then the following would be my pick: * dns - bind. Bind continues to be the main dns implementation and while some people like other lighter altnatives I find that they tend not to have dnssec / tsig implementations that are important to me. * firewall - like the other people here I recommend shorewall due to its complete solutions. Another option to consider is fwbuilder which basically provides a nice gui to generating your own iptable configs. * mail - this question is perhaps the most loaded of them all. In my opinion its hard to beat postfix + cyrus + ldap for serious deployments. Ldap is optimised for lookups and beats db's in this regard, its also lighter and easier to replicate. Cyrus itself continues to be the most important imap implementation and drives most of the new features. It is also very scalable and performant. postfix is light years ahead of qmail :) /me waits patiently for the flames. b -- Benjamin Smee (strerror) 497F 5E98 1FA0 C313 EA0B 08C7 004A 66ED 448B E78C
