What Mail Server to use? MTA + MDA
Hi to all, I have the following question: What MTA + MDA do you suggest that I should use? I want to reinstall on our server the OS, untill now we used suse 8.0 and now I want to install Suse 9.1. As mail server we used Postfix with Cyrus (Pop3 and Imap). Does anybody know that are there better email servers for Suse? What I want is: - must have pop3 and imap (with SSL) - if possible to have a web administration tool (simple to use) - with Cyrus I didn't succed to make fname.lname@domain.com usernames, I mean I couldn't put the . (dot) in the user name. I had to do this with aliases. - I find somehow cyrus hard to understand(sasl... etc). I saw on the internet that there is that Cyrus Web administration tool, that uses Mysql database. Is that okay? - is it possible to have both local users and "virtual" user mailboxes? As MTA i liked postfix I find it very nice. What MDA should I use??? Waiting for your answers. Thanks in advance. Andy.

Andy, As a complete newbie I have set up our organization's mail system, using Postfix, Cyrus IMAP, MySQL, Web-CyrAdm, SpamAssassin, Amavis, Clam-AV, following Luc de Louw's HowTo: http://www.delouw.ch/linux/Postfix-Cyrus-Web-cyradm-HOWTO/html/t1.html I am very happy with that setup. All our email adresses are in the format firstname.lastname@company.com; I didn't encounter any problems setting this up with Cyrus. If you haven't done so, I recommend you download the tutorial and read it through carefully. It's detailed enough to make installation and configuration very easy. It's very worthwhile to read through the Postfix and Cyrus documentation, as well. If I remember well, SuSE includes all of it, but you can look it always up on the Web.
