Hi, all. I'm looking for suggestions/recommendations from everyone concerning some changes I'd like to make at home.
As you can see, I have an address at python.net. For years, I've configured that e-mail address to forward to whatever ISP-provided mailbox I have. Then I use KMail and POP to get my mail into local folders. I recently started switching to Debian, and I have an old machine running Debian Woody at home. Since I'm sometimes on my laptop and sometimes on a workstation, I'd prefer to move all of my mail to the "little" Debian Woody machine and just access it via IMAP. So, now I'm trying to figure out what to install/configure on the Debian Woody box. While I'm a long time Linux user, I've never messed with mail servers, so when I hear MTA, I'm not even sure exactly what role that plays on a mail server. I'd prefer not to have to mess with it too much at the moment. I'm thinking that all I need is fetchmail -> procmail / SpamAssassin -> ??? -> served up by ??? IMAP server. Does this configuration sound sane? Any recommendations on what IMAP server to run on Debian Woody? I only want to serve connections to the IMAP server inside my firewall, so I probably won't worry about encrypting the IMAP connection at the moment. Any pointers to some good, brief docs/books about mail servers in general? I also have an O'Reilly Safari account, so I'd be happy to fill a slot with a book that has a clear few chapters explaining some of this stuff. ---Tom -- TriLUG mailing list : http://www.trilug.org/mailman/listinfo/trilug TriLUG Organizational FAQ : http://trilug.org/faq/ TriLUG Member Services FAQ : http://members.trilug.org/services_faq/ TriLUG PGP Keyring : http://trilug.org/~chrish/trilug.asc
