Hi folks, I'm starting my first jump into working with a Linux mail server. So far from what I have read I need sendmail for SMTP and some other service for POP/IMAP. From what I see the thing to use with fedora is Cyrus-imapd. My goal is to run a mail server for a handful of people in a non mission critical environment that can be accessed by outlook/thunderbird, etc.. A learning experience mainly.
I have found this by searching the list: http://www.bsodmike.com/articles/sendmail&cyrus.php
Can anyone suggest links to online reading I can use for this new mission I am on?
By the way, in one piece of documentation I was reading for Cyrus there was mention of accessing the /etc/inetd.conf file. However on my FC3 install that is no where to be seen. Is it something I need to create or perhaps my reading material was outdated?
Fedora uses xinetd (configuration files in /etc/xinetd.d) rather than the traditional /etc/inetd.conf file as it is more flexible.
cyrus will be a big learning curve for you, especially given the relatively simple nature of what you're trying to set up, so I'd suggest trying dovecot as a simpler POP/IMAP server instead.
Paul.
