Well, Postfix is an Mail Transfer Agent..but it can not serve pop clients. You can use a program called Qpopper to fill this roll which is what most people use. * Keith Gibbons (stardatecomputers@eircom.net) [010426 09:22]: =>Hi all, =>I know this is not really the forum for questions about Postfix but I =>thought I would try anyway. =>I am trying to set up a Postfix mail server to take the place of good old MS =>Exchange Server. =>If I can get it working I can offer a Linux / Postfix solution instead of =>Win NT/2K and MS Exchange. =>I have no problem sending and receiving mail to and from the Linux =>workstations.

Keith; I just saw that Ben replied to this while I was writing so I will just toss my 2cents........Yes, you need to have the packages installed for POP and I would recomend that you might also install the IMAP package that will allow access to the mail for clients regardless of location.....there are several options.......if you want something with support and Web access look into SuSE's mail server which has all the above POP/IMAP stuff and the Web Access too....plus you can call them and get support.
