Hi, I'm running OpenBSD 5.2 on i386. I want to run there a personal mail server (further referred to as "my server") with some specific requirements. I want my server to be secure and stable.
These are my critical requirements: * My server should support SMTP/IMAP with SSL/TLS. I want my server and the client (i.e. Thunderbird that I use) to authenticate with certificates that I issue. * Depending on the address with which I send my mail (I have three different email addresses), my server should relay the mail to the mail server, where I have the account (for instance gmail.com). * When the email that I send is received by my server, I want my server to save the email in the Sent mailbox. * I want the server to keep my email archive of about 5 GB (and growing). * I want to access my mail (Inbox, Sent and Archive) with IMAP. * I want my server to receive emails from my three accounts with IMAP. The ease and safety of archiving messages would be welcome. I'm an archiving freak, and I would love to have a reliable and easy way of archiving my mail. For instance, I love the way how one can archive git repositories by cloning, because it's safe and keeps the data consistent. Currently I have a desktop to which I login remotely from three different computers to receive and send mail with Thunderbird. Thunderbird keeps my email archive, sends and receives mail. The problem is that I'm tiried of logging into my remote desktop, and instead I would like to configure Thunderbird for a single IMAP server and a single SMTP server. For now I know that I want to use sendmail, since this is the default in OpenBSD. Any advice would be welcome. Thanks, Irek -- Ireneusz (Irek) Szczesniak http://www.irkos.org
