Whic mail server?
Hi, I am running a server that is acting as the mail server for only internal users (about 50 users). Currently we are running Sendmail, but reading on other discussions I noticed that qmail and other programs are suggested. I am wondering if qmail is thought to be better than sendmail. Is there a matrix of features and functionalities that would compare the different mail servers? Any suggestions on spam filters like spam-assassin?

Thank you This is, of course, my own personal bias here but I wouldn't touch qmail with a ten foot pole. I know many have used it successfully and been happy with it. It is very easy to begin with a single domain for local delivery to configure sendmail as per the instructions in the Handbook. Postfix is designed to be a drop in replacement for Sendmail, and for a simple Sendmail already configured, Postfix will just take over and work when installed. Additions such as MySQL for virtual domains and users, spamd, etc., can then be plugged in to the basic setup one at a time. There is a pretty fair amount of documentation in the Postfix world for such things. If you are looking to change out Sendmail my vote would be Postfix as it is easier to build on and build up from the setup you're currently using. However, I'd like to point out if you have only one mail server you probably should do this on a second duplicate machine and then once it is proved to work properly swap them. There is a pretty good chance if you only have one mail server you're going to take it down while mucking about. -Mike ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Hello, Yes it is. tcpdump see packets on bridge0 to. I jus have a doubt. I'm trying to connect the bridge to a physical interface that is not used (no carrier). re0: flags=8943UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,PROMISC,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST metric 0 mtu 1500 options=3898VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING,VLAN_HWCSUM,WOL_UCAST,WOL_MCAST,WOL_MAGIC ether 00:1f:d0:8e:79:5f inet 192.168.0.1 netmask 0xff00 broadcast 192.168.0.255 media: Ethernet autoselect (none) status: no carrier It is up, but status is nocarrier and media is none. I think it can be the problem. bridge0 contain re0 ant tap0, packets can be logged with tcpdump on tap0 and bridge0, re0 don't work. I will try tomarrow again. Thanks for your suggestion :). ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
Re: Whic mail server?

Currently we are running Sendmail... First things first: if you're happy with Sendmail and your system works to your satisfaction, I'd leave it be. Just watch your logs and keep an eye out for security patches. A I am wondering if qmail is thought to be better than sendmail. There are fanboys on all three sides of that question (yes, no, and qmail bites, use this-other-MTA instead). I switched from sendmail to qmail on a server because I had an odd corner case that qmail happened to handle just about perfectly. I also botched a qmail install on my own workstation, didn't feel like finding out what I did wrong, and decided to install Postfix instead. I've had fine experiences with both qmail and Postfix. If you're using a system that's a little under-powered, you might appreciate Dr. Bernstein's efforts to make qmail and its supporting tools *very* frugal with OS resources. If you're used to the sendmail way of doing things, you'd probably be better off with Postfix. I like Dr. Bernstein's programming approach, but be prepared to spend time getting used to his way of setting up network daemons, etc. It's internally consistent but *very* different. It takes me 30-40 minutes to install all of the qmail stuff from source because I've done it at least 6 or 7 times; I could probably cut that in half if I didn't save build and installation outputs for my logs. My first time took most of a weekend to figure out what was going on. A Any suggestions on spam filters like spam-assassin? I tried SA a few years ago, and it was a little heavy-weight for my filtering needs. I use a simple Bayesian filter (ifile) trained on around 100,000 spams plus some procmail rules, and I get along fine. Your mileage will vary. I saw some other comments: Qmail is not, nor has it been, actively supported for years. Depends on what you mean by support. The user community is very active; have a look at http://www.ornl.gov/lists/mailing-lists/qmail/ if you doubt it. OTOH, said community can be a bit, um, brusque, but the Qmail Handbook and the Life with Qmail webpage filled in the blanks for me. Qmail has a very limited set of features... It's intended to handle one problem well, which it does. If you have some other requirements, http://www.qmail.org/ probably has a plugin that will do what you want. OK, now let's settle which text editor is best. -- Karl Vogel I don't speak for the USAF or my company They say marriages are made in heaven.

Re: why no Oracle on FreeBSD ?

Stacey wrote: i noticed that there is no Oracle available for FreeBSD http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/database/index.html What could be the reason for that ? Best ask direct of commercial application vendor Oracle. IE wave money under Oracle's nose ask to purchase what you want. If Oracle think there's enough profit in it, there's many BSD consultants eg http://berklix.com/consultants/ willing to work. Cheers, Julian -- i was wondering if there is any technical reason behind this ? Most unlikely. Ask Oracle tell advocacy@ what you find out. I'd bet perceived market share demand as ever, ie Money. Hi Julian: Here is the response on the Oracle forum thread to my posting, FreeBSD is a kernel not used in any extant operating system with the sole exception being Apple's Mac OSX so you are heading, The reality is that Oracle is meant to be a very expensive solution for companies that don't know what to do. This makes Red Hat etc an ideal contender for this situation as it promises full enterprise support. Whether it is the truth or if its even a good solution is completely irreverent to these 2 tech companies because at the end of the day they are just trying to make money and please the stock holders. We have bought the occasional Dell server with Enterprise Red Hat and found all sorts of weird little problems. My preferred story was the Perl that RHE came with was bleeding edge (for the time of release) which at first looked nice. But when I discovered my FreeBSD laptop could parse a 500meg log file 4 times faster then the quad core RHE Dell server I know something was wrong. It was just the version Perl that RHE decided to package up the distribution with. I ended up having to build a later version into /usr/local and everything was fine. But is this really a good solution? Was this worthy of the word enterprise? absolutely not, I mean its not a big deal to build a second Perl into /usr/local on RHE but FreeBSD ports seems like a far cleaner and professional solution if you ask me, just because its not point and click friendly shouldn't be some kind of excuse, to me its and clean and pure as I could dream. We hired a person directly from Oracle full time to build a new database project on Oracle. After it was all built and been using it for about 2 years I just thought it was a bit of a disgrace. Oracle is brittle, unreliable and expensive. We had FreeBSD+MySQL along side it the whole time and it was just so much more reliable and faster for the same amount of hardware. Oracle by packaged design is meant to encourage a comparatively massive amount of hardware investment compared to what could be achieved with MySQL and FreeBSD. I think it is just as much about masking its crap performance then any other argument. I think Oracle is a about of system of making money out of false beliefs, it takes full advantage of corporate companies conservative beliefs and is probably only the reasonable solution for at best 5% of the companies it lives at, its all a matter of opinion which would be argued more from how much money a set of individuals are making out of it over a better technical solution. Some how Oracle want people to believe that a few 100's thousand dollars for their software is vastly superior to any other DB in the world is just nonsense. There is not any other mass scale pieces of software that most company's need where there is some how a magically vastly superior solution. There is no single/few license $100,000 operating system, no single/few license $100,000 excel, no single/few license $100,000 web server. I guess what I am saying at the end of this is that if you can avoid Oracle that is great, I fully recommend you do. Just because you can buy MySQL Enterprise Server far more cheaply and install/deploy it far more easily on more different platforms isn't something to be suspicious about, its just a better software solution and I recommend you take full advantage of it while you still can. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

The only thing that might not be supported is RAID array management for the more expensive external units (you'll still be able to acess the data though). The LaCie drives typically come with utilities to make them painless to use in a Mac OS X environment, but these can be removed easily of one doesn't want to use them on OS X. We are using a 1TB LaCie quadra on Macs, and use the commercial iPartition software which allows one to manipulate the boot information to switch between PPC Mac and Intel as well as to make a wide variety of partitions (even including Xenix if I remember correctly :-). I haven't tried these with FreeBSD, but it appears that it would allow moving the drive between Macs and FreeBSD machines. I must say that I was impressed with the ability of iPartition and the commercial Mac SuperDuper backup program which allowed me to change the boot on the 1TB drive from booting on a PPC Mac to boot on an Intel without losing any data, and to resize existing partitions pretty painlessly as well. I use the word partition above in the Linux sense, which are generally referred to as slices in FreeBSD-land.
