Re: mail server

I suggest you run an MTA.  I hear those are handy.

You might also find this link instructive.

Re: mail server

I'm running a qmail server at the moment with vpopmail as per http://www.qmailrocks.org

I used that tut a while back to build a corporate server over Fedora and was quite happy with it... However, I had a bit more trouble (both setting up and ongoing) on Arch, and will eventually change to Postfix I think.

One of my ongoing problems is that it create 6 zombie processes that I can not ge rid of. If I kill the parent processes, it kills the zombie, but when the parents are restarted, it creates another 6 new zombies.

Re: mail server

postfix & imap (from Washington University; simple; easy; with ssl if you want to) on Arch.


In love I believe and in Linux I trust

Re: mail server

exim & dovecot (was: qpopper, then courier). Exim's ACLs, lookups and string expansion are simply unrivalled smile

Re: mail server

my recommendations:

postfix for mta
dovecot for pop/imap
