I'd consider this but I don't want to have to become an expert in mail servers etc in order to set it up and maintain it securely. Are there any instructions or pre-packaged setups?
you have your own ip?
At present I have dynamic IP but I can request static IP from my ISP.
the google suggestion by Razi Khaja appears the easiest for what you want to do. You would not have to relay mail thru your isp that way. And there is *no* cost for the 2gb account, and you don't have to know how to do anything except fill_in_the_blanks(tm!).
This sounds like the level of hassle I'm looking for! On Wed, 2007-08-08 at 21:25 +0200, Sandy Drobic wrote:
Just to clear up some probable misunderstanding: do you mean that your server receives the mail and then sends it onwards to your ISP? THAT is forwarding. If you mean that you have a domain which is hosted by your ISP and the mailserver of your ISP is the MX for that domain, that is NOT forwarding.
I don't have a server. Company A hosting my domains receives the mail and forwards it to my ISP (company B) and I pick it up from there with POP3.
If you want to set up your own server the basic setup for Postfix/Cyrus is relatively simple.
I still see a lot of traffic on this list from people with problems! They're ably helped by you and others but it still looks like more hassle than I'd like :( On Wed, 2007-08-08 at 19:13 -0400, Razi Khaja wrote:
I just started using the google service for my own domain. Its very easy to setup and the standard edition is free so its worth a try. After trying it, if you dont like it you can always cancel the service. The good thing about the google service is that you can be pretty sure that your mail server wont go down (since you wont be admin'ing it, google will) and you wont have to become an "expert in mail servers".
Thanks, Razi. I'll investigate this - it sounds like what I'm looking for. Cheers, Dave -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
