First set up a nameserver, see /usr/share/doc/HOWTO/en-txt/DNS-HOWTO.gz. Install exim4-daemon-heavy, clamav-daemon, spamassassin and exim4-doc-[html|info]. Copy /usr/share/doc/exim4/examples/example.conf.gz to /etc/exim4/exim4.conf, unzip it and adjust the settings as you need. Check the files regarding the aforementioned packages in /etc/defaults. Install and set up apache2, courier-imap and squirrelmail. You may find that you need a static IP address and DNS entries to successfully send outgoing messages and to retrieve them, and you may want to have a backup MX to receive incoming messages. You can also use a smarthost if you have access to one, and perhaps you want to use fetchmail ... Exim has excellent documentation. There´s no "perfect answer" about how to set up a mailserver. It can be a very simple thing to do as well as something very complicated. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
