RE: Preferred MTA and mail configuration
I don't know if others have already chimed in, but I recommend Postfix. I actually use a combination of Postfix + Courier to handle my mailing needs. Postfix is by all accounts secure, and is much, much easier to configure than Sendmail (I'm told by people who pretend to understand Sendmail that it's much more powerful, but I haven't had any problems with Postfix's capabilities). Postfix comfortably handles Maildir-style delivery, so it works fine with Courier-IMAP. -J Message: 3 Date: Mon, 23 Feb 2004 21:58:57 +0200 From: Gareth Bailey [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Preferred MTA and mail configuration To: FreeBSD - questions [EMAIL PROTECTED] Message-ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 I'm new to email on FreeBSD.

RE: Preferred MTA and mail configuration
Here's a url that points on postfix with courier, (with an SQL server) for virtual delivery's Perhaps usefull for your might be next step. Otherwise there might be good information for your current setup. Also be sure to checkout www.postfix.org/docs.html Cheers -- Kind regards, Remko Lodder Elvandar.org/DSINet.org www.mostly-harmless.nl Dutch community for helping newcomers on the hackerscene mrtg.grunn.org Dutch mirror of MRTG -Oorspronkelijk bericht- Van: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Goodleaf, John M Verzonden: maandag 23 februari 2004 21:09 Aan: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Onderwerp: RE: Preferred MTA and mail configuration I don't know if others have already chimed in, but I recommend Postfix.

Thank you Gareth ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] I know a lot of people like Postfix, but I have been using a qmail/vpopmail/courier-imap combination for almost three years now. I translated a German howto into English some time ago. I have never used Postfix, so I cannot comment on its ease of setup or use, but I think once you understand the basics of an MTA and the subsequent POP or IMAP services, qmail is one of the most stable options out there. If interested, you can take a peek: http://stevenfettig.com/mythoughts/archives/90.php The original HOWTO is at: http://pofo.de/HOWTO/qmail/ I can say that I have never been hacked and/or had any problems with the SMTP, POP or IMAP services locking up - ever... If you are not supporting multiple domains, then the vpopmail option may not be necessary - it is, however, an easy way to manage one or multiple domains with qmail as the MTA.
