Hi all, I am working as a temp co-op student for a small business, and was given my first project. Email responses are part our daily duties in my work environment. We currently use gmail for our three email accounts. One is internal, and the other two are not. Seeing as how gmail doesnt sync with the other addresses, we have to constantly use gmails fetch settings to retrieve mail from the other two addresses. Im in the midst of setting up FreeBSD POP3 and IMAP4 for retrieving e-mail, and (LDAP) for directory services. I need advice on how to configure the clients to retrieve there 2 email addresses from there XP machines using FreeBSD. There are so many ports and packages to use Im not sure which ones to pick, and where to start. Ive got Procmail & Fetchmail installed on FrreBSD. I want to have Exim to hand off the email addressed to Me@xxxx.com to procmail , which in turn will run it thru SpamAssassin. Then to send a copy to GMail and deliver one locally. Also archives a copy on the server in monthly mbox files as a secondary backup I got 5 days to have it up and running! Any configuration ideas for Postfix, Procmail, Fetchmail The setup will only be used for retrieval only, with no need to use it as an SMTP relay server. Im not looking for a large response, but if anyone could give me some info on what to install (in what order) and how to configure the protocols would be greatly appreciated. There is no registered domain for our company, so my goal is to just receive emails, and store them locally Resource recommendations would help too. THANKS!
