Hello Keith (and all you Qmailer's ) - :)
Thanks to all the people that mailed !
That works but I'm going to stop and ask a question - What's the difference
between Summersoft and Memphis RPM's , in layman's terms.
What should guide me in choosing ?
Maybe I should give my present system - it's convoluted.
I am learning all this stuff, but in the spirit of the internet and sharing, I
have several free mailing lists. Presently I use MDaemon, a win95/NT MTA/mailing
list manager.
Being poor, I've cut corners , but what happens is as follows .
My set-up :-
Main ISP - alpha.com through their smart host (they block port 25 so I have to go
through their host). I POP3 to retrieve mail.
I have a domain name and catch-all account at another ISP e.g. bravo.com. I POP3
and retrieve the mail
My lan is named mail.bravo (no .com as there is a real domain held at another ISP
and I don't want to loop ).
I have 'no relaying' in place, certain IP's and domain and user names are
banned.
So basically, I POP3 to two locations, the mail comes in , is sorted, if the
accounts exist the mail is stored, if not a response is sent of no user here and I
have selected to be notified with a copy.
The mailing list also works pretty well, considering.
So....Obviously I want to run Qmail and Ezmlm as a replacement.
Fred L. mentioned I'd need Fetchmail to POP3 the mail.
Any other advice, hints, problems you can see.
Regards...Martin
