[Sderby] Email Services To Windows Clients

[David Clarke]

Have a look at E-Smith, which is designed for exactly this.

It is available as a downloadable CD-image (www.e-smith.org), and is also exists in a supported commercial form from Mitel.

Builds a linux server (based on RedHat 7.3 providing email (pop3, imap, webmail), shared file services (samba) and firewall - an ideal Small Enterprise server. Lots of user-contributed addons (www.contribs.org) including SpamAssassin, Procmail filtering, AntiVirus etc.

The whole system is controllable through a web-browser interface.

Contact me directly if you want to discuss further, or I can supply a CD copy.

  EMAIL SERVER

   

  I currently use vpop3 to provide email services to a windows network at the office and am looking to put in a linux server to replace it, as I have to shut down the server almost daily due to errors in collecting mail / talking to the isp's server etc. It would also give me the added benefits of file security etc which is becoming more and more important as the business grows (currently files are held on a peer to peer machine with a shared folder!).

   

  Having checked the linux sites on the internet it looks like I'm going to have to get quite heavily involved in learning to use both sendmail and fetchmail to achieve what vpop3 is currently providing.

   

  The query is - does anyone out there know either of a user friendly front-end for these programs or indeed an alternative solution altogether. I am a relative newcomer to Linux having used redhat 8 at home - redhat 9 will be the package used to set this up.

   

  All suggestions gratefully received.
