[TriLUG] mail server

[Ryan Leathers]

John Lombardo has a Secure Mail Server Howto.  He presented it at the
tech circus.  He used several open source and a couple of optional
closed source tools to set up spam free remotely accessible email.  From
what I saw it was so well documented that you could just about cut and
paste syntax step by step to duplicate his system.  He indicated that
his howto was being submitted for blessing by the howto gods.  Keep an
eye out.

Tanner -

Thanks - I am trying to setup a pop3 mail server for the Charter High
School. I tried qmail - but I am struggling (never have set up a mail
server before) -- I'll look on google (my favorite search engine :-)  )
-- I just want to make sure I have enough information so that I don't
wreck the site....

Thanks,
Mark
