Secure, as in the principle of least privileges, is something that sendmail has never been, and is never likely to be. Qmail adheres very strictly to the principle of least privilege, but doesn't seem to be as stable as it's author and most of its community claim. The one remaining place I'd installed it (several years ago) is having occasional trouble with it. IIRC, Red Hat's lists used it for a while, and eventually dumped it because of some problems they couldn't track down. These days, Red Hat offers Postfix as an alternative, and it's pretty good. My choice for mailers is Courier, though: http://www.courier-mta.org/ Courier is a well integrated system for end-to-end mail delivery (i.e., it includes SMTP, POP3, IMAP, and more). It's easy to build and install on Red Hat system (I've got binary rpm's if you don't want to build them), it includes a web-based config system for easy setup, and principle in my mind: integration means not setting up features like authentication of virtual users separately for each subsystem (smtp, pop, imap...) > I would like to setup my own mail server, with DSL > connection and I would host 2 domain.

Sure, whatever you choose should be able to handle that easily. -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
