Hi all,
I have a succesfully working Qmail with about 6 user accounts using Maildir
and SMTP/POP3 access. This works fine for 'internal' e-mails.
At the moment all our external mail (*@domain.com) is delivered to our
externally managed web+database server where it is manually grabbed by
clients using POP3. Certain e-mail addresses (eg. [EMAIL PROTECTED]) are
forwarded on to our own personal e-mail accounts. This is because we only
have one POP3 account and our provider is very hesitant to add any more.
Obviously this system isn't ideal, especially as we have to keep getting
external POP3 accounts as we add more users!
I have set up a central Qmail server which is connected via an ADSL
connection on 'office.domain.com' - currently there are no MX records for
it, but I will add them. I was thinking of two ways of getting around this
problem and I would appreciate some advice on which is best.
1 - Forward all user mails to *@office.domain.com and have Qmail deliver
them to each user - but, our ADSL connection is a bit unreliable, and
sometimes the server will be 'off the internet' for an hour or so - could
this be a problem with the lack of a secondary etc.? Or could our webserver
be the secondary?
or 2- Have the Qmail server manually fetch the e-mails via POP3 at set
intervals.
How would I do option 2 with Qmail? Or have I got things completely wrong?
Cheers
John
