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 -- <>
