Here's one that might be interesting to a few people... I want to create a new server (initially a VMWare virtual machine) to run as a dspam (anti-spam) mail server. I want to try dspam as it is supposed to be much less power hungry than spamassassin (SA), and I am having problems with SA elsewhere handling any reasonable load. Since this is a fresh install I'm currently stuck through having too many choices... Which distro should I start with? My preference would be Ubuntu Server for familiarity reasons but no better reason than that. Which mail server should I use? I use exim elsewhere but can't say I particularly like it. Postfix? Other? How do I glue it all together? -- Mark Rogers // More Solutions Ltd (Peterborough Office) // 0845 45 89 555 Registered in England (0456 0902) at 13 Clarke Rd, Milton Keynes, MK1 1LG _______________________________________________ Peterboro mailing list [email protected] https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/peterboro -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by ESVA, and is believed to be clean. Mark, If you arelooking at a VM appliance for anti-spam/anti-virus mail gatweay you could and should try ESVA (http://global-domination.org/ESVA17.php). It is very resiliant and doesn't use much resources. I have been using it for a while now without any issue, and it is easy to configure. A colleague that does some mail hosting has almost 100 domains with several hundred users going through the one ESVA box without any issue.
