Re: [MLUG] Linux-based email solutions?

[Josh <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

I use postfix (on Debian Etch) to manage email for my clients. It allows 
IMAP, POP3, etc. access as well as webmail (since most webmail clients 
just connect via IMAP). Personally, I use sqwebmail for webmail but 
there are lots of other good packages.

I have it configured with the mysql extensions so user/domain management 
is all done simply by inserting or removing rows in a mysql database. 
Throw together a quick PHP app that lets you easily edit those tables 
and bam - you have a very powerful and configurable mail server.

Additionally, I have clamav integrated for virus scanning of all 
incoming mail and SpamAssassin for spam marking. All-in-all, its a 
robust and complete email system thats not hard to setup and simple to 
administer.

In my opinion, postfix is the way to go.
