That's a pretty good setup for dbmail.
If you don't need IMAP, you wouldn't need to run the IMAP daemon. But
the dbmail IMAP is extremely good so you might like to have it for
yourself / admin. :o)
*Use postfix for the MTA. http://www.postfix.org/download.html
(Post fix has some great configs for keeping most spam and virus
attachments out and talks to dbmail like ham and eggs. )
*Get the DbMailAdministrator GUI at
http://library.mobrien.com/dbmailadministrator/
*Get MySQL 4.0.14+ -- http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/4.0.html
NOTE: Don't install a thing without reading first from dbmail's tarball
the "INSTALL" and "INSTALL.postfix" files. Those two docs, Dan, will
serve you well and accerate your learning and install.

Hello List,
I have been investigating very seriously using dbmail for a new
project I am working on. I was hoping some experienced users could
give me some getting-started style pointers.
Essentially, I need to host about 200-250 e-mail accounts from a
number of different domains, each with pop3 and smtp access.
I am totally not interested in:
1. webmail
2. imap
3. groupware/etc.
4. spam filtering/anti-virus etc.
What I am interested in is:
5. Not having any system accounts for mail users. I just can't have
that in my current setup.
6. Having an easy to maintain and easy to admin system.
I understand that I will need some more software than just dbmail.
So my specific questions are:
1. What MTA do people recommend? Sendmail? qmail? I am looking for
something simple, that will just work and be set.
2. What else do I need besides the mta and dbmail? Am I missing
anything major?
I hope someone can help, and thanks to all those who put together
dbmail. My initial impression is that the code is tight, a quality
stuff.
Best Regards,
Dan Heskett
