Re: help me make a Mail Server choice
You should check out puremessage from ActiveState & Sophos. Other choices are mailscanner & spamassasin, as for free scanners most of these still require sometype of an AV engine. You can download an evaluation of sophos savi it will work for about three months. Most free software like mailscanner will utilize savi , fprot, Mcafee. Other mail scanning software types are mimesweeper, mailmarshal, Qwava. http://www.sophos.com/products/sav/eval/ http://freshmeat.net/projects/mailscanner/ SpamAssasin /usr/ports/mail/spamass-milter type "make && make install" http://sophos.com/ - Original Message - From: "Perica Veljanovski" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, June 04, 2004 7:39 AM Subject: help me make a Mail Server choice > Hi again > > It turned out to be a public mail server as well!

I've been playing with different techniques for months, and the greylister is the best I've used so far. It never has a false positive, rejects virus/spam before using up all the bandwidth to send it, uses almost no CPU and (in my experience) stops about 95% of the viruses and spams. http://projects.puremagic.com/greylisting/ -- Bill Moran Potential Technologies http://www.potentialtech.com ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
Re: help me make a Mail Server choice
It turned out to be a public mail server as well! The choice for the MTA on fell on postfix :) Now I have to chose POP/IMAP and Virus/Spam. I would appreciate if you can give me some input on your experience with Cyrus or Courier, since they are my choices for pop/imap. Also I'd like I've been using cyrus for couple of years now and it's quite robust & fast. In addition it merges nicely with postfix, so there are no problems on that front either. The biggest drawback with Cyrus is the learning curve - The documentation is a bit lacking, but the mailinglists help there. ( I have to admit that when choosing my IMAP-server back then the license was one of the main factors...) In addition many of the webmail systems like Squirrel or Horde work nicely on Cyrus. -Reko ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

help me make a Mail Server choice
Hi again It turned out to be a public mail server as well! The choice for the MTA on fell on postfix :) Now I have to chose POP/IMAP and Virus/Spam. I would appreciate if you can give me some input on your experience with Cyrus or Courier, since they are my choices for pop/imap. Also I'd like some suggestions on what to use for virus/spam protection, and how they are implemented in postfix? My first mail on the subject from 2004-06-01: I have some trouble choosing between "postfix" and "qmail" for the new corporate mail server I'll be making. I'm looking for the one with least administrative overhead (since I run a one man show) and security is a big issue. Also, I'm looking for some guidance (choices) for POP, IMAP and webMail interface as well as Virus and SPAM (preferably free) protection. Another issue is the FreeBSD version. Should I stay with the 4.x-STABLE or should I go with the 5.x. If I set up a 5.2-Release, will the upgrade to 5.3-STABLE be enough, or is there a possibility that I will have to reformat and do a clean 5.3 install. 10x ahead -- <> ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

My mail setup is Postfix with amavisd-new, spamassasin(built into amavisd-new) and clamav antivirus. It was quite easy to setup, and its stable. For IMAP and POP i use Courier-Imap with SSL, and for webmail i use SquirrelMail. The admin is low (although i only have about 5 LAN users). I would recommend my mail setup anyday. If you like i can mail some resources that i used in setting up our server. > >Another issue is the FreeBSD version. Should I stay with >the 4.x-STABLE >or should I go with the 5.x.

I would stay with the 4.x-STABLE branch (4.10) but get others' input on this.

help me make a Mail Server choice
Hi, I have some trouble choosing between "postfix" and "qmail" for the new corporate mail server I'll be making. I'm looking for the one with least administrative overhead (since I run a one man show) and security is a big issue. Also, I'm looking for some guidance (choices) for POP, IMAP and webMail interface as well as Virus and SPAM (preferably free) protection. Another issue is the FreeBSD version. Should I stay with the 4.x-STABLE or should I go with the 5.x. If I set up a 5.2-Release, will the upgrade to 5.3-STABLE be enough, or is there a possibility that I will have to reformat and do a clean 5.3 install. 10x ahead -- <> ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
