I have done this setup before. I have an account in infocom. So siyempre,
doon sa mailserver nila babagsak ang mails destined sa account ko. Sa bahay
naman, nagsetup ako ng linux. Installed din ang smtp, at pop3. Para ma
retrieve ko ang mail ko sa infocom, I installed fetchmail. I created an
entry in /etc/.fetchmailrc. "man fetchmail" ka na lang para makita mo yung
format. Usually it's the poll ....... Parang tipong ganito yung ginawa ko
noon sa .fetchmailrc, user onie is ronneil here. Create ka na lang ng iba
pang entries para sa ibang users.
Sa clients mo naman internally, all they have to do is point their pop3
client sa internal pop3 server mo. So ngayon, akala ng internal users mo,
hataw ang bilis ng mail ninyo sa internet, pero yung pala, na retrieve na.
:-)
Meron din akong ginawang tweak sa fetchmail. I had to kill and run him every
30 minutes, kasi when it goes in sleep mode, ayaw ng mabuhay. Pero na sa
processes pa rin siya (ps ax). Siguro bug ng fetchmail ito noon. 1996 pa
kasi iyon he. :-) Btw, I'm running this with the help of cron.
Kung gusto mo rin e-webbased ang internal mo, you can do it with either
endymion(perl based) or horde (php based). If you're planning to push
through with horde, Doc Mana can help you a lot.
Doc Mana, hindi ka na namin naririnig sa PLUG. We miss you. :-)
