I think I'll follow http://sylvestre.ledru.info/howto/howto_qmail_vpopmail.php
It looks like a complete setup like the one I want to have. Any ideas or recommendations before I start with formatting the beast?

Could you point me to some | tutorial where I could have a setp-by-step manual of how to | install those products? The fact is that some software need | to be jailed in some chroot, others need to be patched and | others need some special tweaking to work with a database. | That's the case of postfix to run with MySQL | | The problem is that most of the time, the manuals do not say | what to do in terms of troubleshooting. They just say "you | should have this_n_that as output" but don't say what you | should check if not! :) | | Anyway, thanks for the tips. I'm happy to see that you | mentioned most of the software I selected like clamav, | squirrelmail etc.. | | Paul | | | | | | -----Original Message----- | | From: R'twick Niceorgaw [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] | | Sent: 15 October 2004 18:34 | | To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | Subject: [wdvltalk] Re: Linux Mail Server Recommendations | | | | Hi Paul, | | I never used Postfix so can't help you with that one. | | If you want to give your users ability to access their mail form | | multiple machines (like form home as well as office) IMAP | is the way | | to go. Courier-IMAP is the one I use and I think it does a | good job. | | For webmail squirellmail or Horde/IMP are pretty good. | | I'm currently using Qmail + Courier-imap + Horde as my email server | | with support for smtp auth and pop before smtp patch for qmail. For | | antivirus and spamfiltering, I'm using Clam-av, f-prot and | | spamassassin through qmail-scanner package. Also, I'm using | tmda for | | challenge/response spam filtering. This setup is working | quite fine. | | However I'm thinking of switching to the full courier email server | | (smtp/pop/imap) and squirellmail. Courier email server is very | | advanced, fast and secured (with builtin support for SSL/TLS etc). | | | | I found both qmail and courier smtp/pop/imap servers easy to setup | | (though never tried postfix so can't comment on it). | | One reason I'm still using qmail is its very matured and | proven. But, | | you will need to do a lot of patching to get every feature you need. | | For courier, I found the installation manual at the | author's site is | | enough. it also has a web based configuration feature which always | | worked for me. | | | | HTH | | R'twick | | Quoting Paul Larue <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: | | | | > Hi list. | | > I'm in the process of setting up a linux mail server for | | our office. | | > It will be used as our public mail server and should provide POP, | | > SMTP, Antivirus, Spam and webmail and eventually LDAP. | POP and SMTP | | > should be secured by SSL so will webmail.
