Hi All,
I am new to this list but I have some difficulty which I will need
the assistant of the gurus here.
I had followed the qmailrock's instruction to set up my qmail. But
what I am lucking is how to do a domain pop so that, emails can be
downloaded from another server and have it delivered to virtual users
on the qmail server.
From what I read, I want to reinstall the qmail server following
qmailtoaster.
Will domain pop be easy when I do this?
This is the most important features I will need in the qmail server:
1. Email content filter rules capability
2. Spam filtering rules capability
3. Email gate way capablity
4. Domail routing capability ( So that, we can have the option to send
mail directly or through another smpt)
5. Domain pop capability
6. Virus protection capability
7. Mail Rebot capability
8. Should be able to provide web base administration
9.Relay capability
10. Mailing list capability.
11. Should be able to host unlimited domains
12. Domain lever administration
Out of this 12 features, the only one left for me and am still
tragling to get is the 5th one which is Domain POP. People recommended
getmail and fetchmail which I tried with out success because I am
using virtual domains and users.
Once again, can any one give me a simple solution to this?
For the content filter, I will be using procmail through webmin but
all the same, I don't know how to integration it into qmail yet since
am using virtual domain and procmail seem to support local usres
$HOME/Maildir.
In the case of Email gate way or setting up qmail as a gate way, that
am not sure what I got will work because I didn't test it yet. So if
some one tested it and it working for him or her, please the person
can let me know.
If any one have any other Linux base mail server other than qmail
which got all this features, I will appreciate if the person can share
with me.
Its a little rude to come to a project and ask for recommendations for
other projects. Any mail server on Linux can do what you're asking, if
you set it up that way. Requires work.
For your pop issue - it will work. I used it myself (both Qmailtoaster
and Postfix, BOTH using virtual users) to grab mail from an ISP's server
and deliver to "local" virtual users. I think Squirrelmail even has a
plugin that will do this for you.
Anyway, if you look back in the archives you will see some posts about
fetchmail and how to configure it. It's been discussed before.
In reference to your filtering - Qmailtoaster uses simscan which calls
spamassassin and clamav to scan messages. Filtering is done with
maildrop and can be extended to do whatever you want with maildrop scripts.
If you mean email gateway in that you can send emails as another user -
sort of. You have to authenticate using a valid account (virtual!) on
the server, but it will then let you send the message.
I have no idea what a mail rebot is.
Hope that helps.
