Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Anyone got any good tips on setting up a sepperate machine as a mail server? What I need is some smart way to distribute the passwd entries from our login server to the mail server so that all the shell users get their mail + restricting access so they are not allowed to log in. As of today the mail server for our domain is the same as the login server. What I was thinking of was to put the mail on a diff machine and NFS share /var/spool/mail to that machine so pine etc works, and let the other machine handle all mail (SMTP and POP). If this is a good way to do it, how do I distribute the user entries in a secure and efficient way? _________________________________________________________ Frode Nordahl | PB 2509 Solli | Tlf: +47 22204718 Teknisk ansvarlig | N-0202 Oslo | Fax: +47 22203919 Computer Tjenester AS | Norway | froden@bigblue.no
