I am new to this list and to qmail. I am trying to set up a more secure
server so I am in the process of dumping sendmail.
Here's the present setup:
our email is collected by our ISP and deposited in a single mailbox (3
domains, two dozen users).
Fetchmail collects our email and forwards to the local postmaster
account. The postmaster account has a .procmailrc file, which then
invokes procmail. The procmail recipes simply look at the recipient and
send the proper email to the proper place. No fancy recipes are used at
all; just straight forwarding based on address. EG: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
gets forwarded to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I feel that I am using a cannon to squash a mouse - and I keep thinking
that there must be some simpler way to do what I am doing.
I've been reading through the archives, and fetchmail has received its
share of getting trashed, but there's also recommendations to use it.
>From reading the docs, it seems that I may be able to get rid of
procmail in my setup? Can qmail forward to different users based on
address?
Is fetchmail the way to go to collect POP3 mail or should I be looking
elsewhere?
I am looking for general recommendations and pointers on how to set this
up. I can read docs; I just need some help on which docs to read :-)
