Hi Patrick, Just some ideas, hope it helps :)
> 1. Setup a POP3 server for about 10-20 users. Easily done. Qpopper can auth off the passwd file in linux (/etc/passwd). Qpopper will support this out of the box > 2. Hopefully use SSL or APOP<all I have read says that MS Outlook can't > authenticate with APOP, is this true? Not sure. Do you have a specific use for encryption? Most sites just use POP3, however if you have a specific there may be a patch work around. Im sure there are lots of people who use qpopper + apop + outlook > 3. Allow a web interface for users to check there email as well. Easy. Lots of php and perl webmails can be found at www.sourceforget.net > 4. I don't need digests right now but it might be cool in the future. Not sure regarding this one > 5. Set up sendmail so that only my users can use it. NO RELAYING!< I > have found some info on this, but I am sure there is more somewhere. You can go that path, however I prefer exim. Its a direct replacement of sendmail and can be installed over the top and still function as a fake "sendamil" but provide many more features and configurable features. Much easier than sendmail > 6. Get some sleep at night!
