Installing Internet Server / Email

There are to many answers for that question to really focus. I will give you one quick configuration:
Software: MSExchange, Win2k SP1
Hardware: Dual Processor Machine with minimum 1GB Ram, and 9 GB's of Storage.
After the initial install of the Exchange server and components. Place the Box behind a Firewall device and create a conduit pointing to this server. Allow only smtp, www and 443 to pass to this server. Use SSL to secure the Webmail feature of Exchange. Presto a fast and relativly secure mail system.

On your first questions, I suggest that you use red hat or slackware linux. This OS are standardly secure and you could add more to its security regarding your own preferences. Advantage also of linux being an internet server is you have the support of all linux users. Regarding on hardware, we prefer a pentium III with dual processor and a minimum of 256 memory. We use also swappable SCSI hard drive coz' of its longer life span and more realiability compared to IDE drive. hope this may helpyou. if you have doubts, then post it here so we could discuss evey details of it.
