|
|
After looking into and trying Postfix I just installed XMail.
It has SMTP and POP in one packaged rpm install.
Xmail seems easier to configure than Postfix.
It still takes some study to get used to it though.
What I like about it is that it doesn't need Unix User accounts for every user.
Has anyone tried this Mail server before? |

Neither does qmail or sendmail. I do still use local delivery on my main domain for support with any user that wants to use mutt or pine or whatever from SSH.
I've never even heard of Xmail until now... I've even seen and played with Exim, but Xmail is new to me, thanks for mentioning it though. That's one more package to play with if I ever have any problems with qmail. |

Ok, maybe it is possible with those others.
I don't have enough experience with postfix.
It seemed to me you had to make aliases which still all had to be forwarded to a Real System User Account.
Now how about with Maildirs? Xmail does Maildirs too without having to create Unix User Accounts.
In any case I think Xmail is easier for newbies since there is no hassle with getting an additional POP server to work with it too. |

qmail also comes with POP3 daemon. IMAP is better, and I use qmail, so naturally I use courier-imap that also has a POP3 daemon that I'd rather use if I have to allow POP3. I believe there was about 3 lines of config I had to change to get qmail up. |
