Hi again

It turned out to be a public mail server as well! The choice for the MTA
on fell on postfix :) Now I have to chose POP/IMAP and Virus/Spam.

I would appreciate if you can give me some input on your experience with
Cyrus or Courier, since they are my choices for pop/imap. Also I'd like
some suggestions on what to use for virus/spam protection, and how they
are implemented in postfix?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My first mail on the subject from 2004-06-01:

I have some trouble choosing between "postfix" and "qmail" for the new
corporate mail server I'll be making. I'm looking for the one with least
administrative overhead (since I run a one man show) and security is a
big issue. Also, I'm looking for some guidance (choices) for POP, IMAP
and webMail interface as well as Virus and SPAM (preferably free)
protection.

Another issue is the FreeBSD version. Should I stay with the 4.x-STABLE
or should I go with the 5.x. If I set up a 5.2-Release, will the upgrade
to 5.3-STABLE be enough, or is there a possibility that I will have to
reformat and do a clean 5.3 install.

10x ahead
