Subject: [SLUG] Mail Transfer Agents
I am about to begin teaching myself the in's and out's of setting up a Linux
mail server. After doing a little research, I've learned that there are a
few different MTA's that I could use like Sendmail, Postfix, Courier, etc.
In order to help me figure out with which one I should familiarize myself, I
would like to hear any insight from those of you that have experience with
this sort of thing. What are some pros and/or cons of the various MTA's?
Which currently have good momentum in being adopted in the IT world? What is
stable and secure?
One area I would like to apply my e-mail server knowledge (once I aquire it)
is to give my parents greater flexibility with how they can check their
e-mail at home. They have 1 Linux box and 1 Windows box and there is
currently no easy way for them to check the same e-mail account from either
machine while allowing both machines to remain synchronized with their ISP's
e-mail server. My idea is to set up an IMAP server on their Linux box that
will automatically download mail from their ISP's POP3 e-mail account and
serve it via IMAP to both computers on their LAN. Does that sound feasible?
Thanks in advance for your guidance!
