I'm somewhat biaised towards Postfix, having been an alpha tester for months and running it on every machine I can lay my hands on :-) FreeBSD.org's experience with it in place of sendmail is pretty good, Postfix is way faster and more secure than sendmail. You'll need an IMAP/POP server; Cyrus (see ports/mail/cyrus) works well with Postfix). It is very easy to setup and has probably more features that you need :-) (virtual domains, very efficient antispam features, regex support, and much more). Support is handled, like many other Open Source products, through a mailing-list, postfix-users (mailto:Majordomo@postfix.org). You can use an LDAP server for aliases, virtual domains and such. See for details. BTW Outlook is not really a good Windows mail reader. Better use something like Pegasus, Agent or Eurora. -- Ollivier ROBERT -=- FreeBSD: The Power to Serve! -=- roberto@keltia.freenix.fr FreeBSD keltia.freenix.fr 4.0-CURRENT #2: Fri Apr 16 22:37:03 CEST 1999 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-net" in the body of the message
