mail server

[Dinger57]

Hi all,

I'm looking to replace MS Exchange with a mail server that will run on Red Hat Pro 7.2. I'm looking for something more feature based than sendmail as it will be serving several hundred corporate users. I don't really need calendaring or scheduling, mainly something that has the ability to manage accounts through a GUI, a global address book, a half decent web mail client, user aliasing, distribution lists and can manage several domains. I have looked around a bit but it seems to me there's a limited supply that meet my needs.

That said, anyone have any suggestions as to what might be a good choice? Which would be the one a small corporation would be most likely to be using?

I appreciate any comments, and thanks in advance.

I like qmail

http://www.qmail.org/

you can use qmail with sqwebmail and vpopmail

:D You don't need no stinkin' gui interface as you have to type the info into the gui as well as the command line. The basic tools should do the job.

This is all you need, I think plus possibly mailman for a mailing list even though mutt will handle even that, probably.

Mail the Linux Way (http://www.mandrakeuser.org/docs/connect/index.html#mtuw)

http://www.squirrelmail.org/ is a good start. It has a bunch on plug-ins and is really easy to setup. It uses IMAP by default but has a plug-in for POP.
It support GAB's. I also suggest cucipop for a popper.
For a MTA I like sendmail. I have used and seen it support 1000+ users. I have never used qmail before but I here it is safer.

Webmin (http://www.webmin.com) will give you a gui for both MTA's and a overall system admin gui.


Hope this helps
