Exactly what I do with dovecot, sendmail, spamassassin and postfix, except that I also use fetchmail to collect mail from 3 different external accounts and deliver them to local mailboxes for 2 different users. And it "just works(TM)". I have had the same setup running from 10.3 to 12.3 (and Fedora Core 5 - 9 before switching to openSuSE), and now I've moved it off the desktop machine and onto a Raspberry Pi (running raspbian, based on Debian "wheezy") and it "just works(TM)" there too. Same setup, same configs. [It was admittedly a challenge getting spamassassin to not have the load average constantly sitting above 30 on the rasbpi, but switching to spamd and using compiled rulesets did the trick - it now ticks along at around 0.01 - 0.02]. Configuring sendmail was a no-brainer - years ago I found a script called "install-sendmail-6.0" which automates the whole thing and takes care of the common security holes caused by misconfiguration. At least my mail server is something I've never had to worry about breaking... -- ============================================================== Rodney Baker VK5ZTV rodney.baker@iinet.net.au ============================================================== -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
