Fedora Core Linux

support it.

Cpanel

You first need to define your requirements and not your solution.

- What functionality do i need
- The volume the mail server is going to handle
- The budget for this solution
- Do we have the resources to manage the solution in house or do we need to hire external people

There could be more questions, anyway, first defining requirements gives you an insight on what you need.

Cheers

By the way we use netmail and postfix.

Mail box size: probably like any other company
(500mb - 1gb)
We use pop3 outlook....we dont store emails on the server.

This is what im trying to solve here....rather than outsourcing our email server...which is alot of work to maitain and monitor...

Which brings up a querstion...is there such thing as an email server that is just perfect? doesnt crash? doesnt need monitoring...i mean will all these online trojans, bugs, spam.....i find it amaziong to see how these servers stay running....

I would liek to set up our own company email server...something i can make...and just let be ....?

-webmail
-server anti spam
-imap
-pop3
-smtp

I guess these are the most any person would need just to have email...?
