Qmail is probably overkill, particularly as FC1/2 doesn't ship with it. FC2 ships with sendmail/postfix/exim, all of which are very capable MTAs. > For fear of starting a my MTU is better than yours argument, what is the > best setup to support the above and where can I find documentation on > how to set it up? just for the sake of putting my oar into this thread :-) everyone has their favourite way of doing things. I'm waiting for the exim crowd to get involved... my mailserver does very similar things to your requirements, using postfix (using TLS/SASL authentication) MailScanner (amavisd alternative which can do some extra cool stuff, like stripping html from emails before delivery. Sorry, it's a pet hate of mine.) clamav (virus scanner. There are plenty of proprietary solutions as well.) spamassassin (does what it says on the tin) dovecot imap (only providing imap/ssl, but then that's my preference) squirrelmail for webmail access. the only downside with postfix is decent documentation. Buy a book. The O'Reilly book mentioned earlier is excellent (IMHO). > > Thanks > > Rob -- Stuart Sears RHCE, RHCX -- Jealousy is all the fun you think they have.
