Hello all! I want to set up my own mailsystem at home. I use a ADSL connection, and i have my own domain regged. The question is what mailserver i should use. At the moment i only use Postfix to send my mail. I have a ISP mailbox for my incoming mail. I want to get that "in house". What shall i use?
What's wrong with Postfix for both ways? It's superb in bouncing spam and other crap with body- and header checks and it can work really well with e.g. amavis.
Its only me on the system right now, but in the future there might be a few more. Not too much trafic (i think), no more then a few hundred mails/day.
I was glancing at SuSE E-mail server 3. But it might be a bit too "big". (Not to mention expensive) I tried downloading qmail-1.03 (after a recomendation from a friend) but the archive seems corrupted from the site.
Qmail works ok, but it's not as nearly as configurable and consistent as Postfix. The new version now even has checks to see if mime attachments are valid and other cool features. Theo -- Theo v. Werkhoven ICBM 52 8 24N , 4 32 40E. S.u.S.E 7.3 x86 Kernel 2.4.16-4GB See headers for PGP/GPG info.
