Hi, noob here. We have five machines running various OSes (only one Windows box) with a Debian sarge business server on our private network. Everything is run through a dedicated firewall using iptables rules for NAT, packet filtering, port forwarding, etc. We also have a public server for our public website. We are using a shared dynamic IP and dyndns.org.
I know very little about setting up mail servers, but I can figure out the set up of the actual software. The problem is whether the software will do what I want. This is what I want to do, and I want to start out in a way that I can understand. I think that I just want to set up a POP/IMAP server only. I do not want a domain associated with the mailserver. I want to set up the mail server to check and download email for all of our accounts from various POP servers and store it on our business server on our private network. Then, each user can download his/her email for the given account from the business server at whatever point they want. I want them to have the capability of leaving mail on the business server or removing it (IMAP/POP). For sending mail, I just want to use our ISP's smtp server, so I do not need a smtp server. I can just use the local machine's MTA to send the mail. So, the send process can bypass the mail server. How would you suggest that I do this? Would sendmail, exim, qmail do this? Are there any links that cover this that you would suggest? Thanks! PB -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
