Took me 3 minutes to set up incl. building certs Redhat default config is pretty self explaining. :-) # make -C /usr/share/ssl/certs sendmail.pem and comment out the corresponding 4 lines in sendmail.mc If you also want to cover imap and spamassassin in your document, this is what I did. 1. Install dovecot, no configuration necessary. 2. Install spammassassin # yum install spamassassin # cd /etc # cp mail/spamassassin/spamassassin-spamc.rc procmailrc # echo "allow_user_rules 1." >> /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf # chkconfig spamassassin on # service spamassassin start 5. Install and configure fetchmail #cat ~./fetchmailrc poll some.server.com proto pop3 user "user@xxxxxxxxxx" pass "pass" is localuser (your Username :-)) fetchall ssl poll another.server.com ... You are ready to go: fetchmail -> sendmail -> procmail -> spamassassin -> dovecot :-) Thanks for your tips. Christoph
