Mark I can't give a technical answer as I have never managed to get the mail side working on my Ubuntu 6.06 server, however...
It may be a worth a visit to the howtoforge (www.howtoforge.com). There are loads of very straight forward server setup's in tutorial form as well as a whole section on e-mail/anti spam/virus etc. There is an entry for optimizing a dspam setup but I couldn't see one for setting things up from scratch (although there are lots of mail server tutorials in other sections). Might be worth a look see :) Stu On Mon, 2007-07-09 at 12:42 +0100, Mark Rogers wrote: > Those with good memories will remember I started a similar topic a few > weeks back, but I've not really got any further forward. > > Can anyone give me some assistance, starting with a bare Debian/Ubuntu > install, how to set up a mailserver using dspam?
