Hello -
I am a recent convert from Mircro$oft wanting to bring my email and web needs in-house rather than pay an ISP for the service.
Welcome to reliability and security :-)
I am pretty familiar with Apache so the web part should be no problem. However I have two remaining issues and I am afraid my Linux skills are still in the neo-natal stage:
1) Email - Sendmail is for SMTP which is fine. I can find the necessary documentation to configure that I think. What does one use for incoming (POP or IMAP)? Does Suse come with servers of either type?
Yes, SuSE comes with a number of servers of either type. Look in the 'n' series.
2) Dynamic IP - I have a dynamic IP address from my ISP. Are there facilities out there compatible with Linux which could point my domain name to a dynamic IP from my cable ISP and keep track of me so that I can actually run the mail and web server from home?
