Email Server

Hi,

Need to setup an email server urgently, but know nothing about setting them up. Can anyone out here help??

Basically, I have a internet connection, fixed IP, a unix server. What else do I need?

What kind of software (freeware) can I use? How do I go about setting up a working email server?

Re: Email Server

Postfix is the easiest mail server to configure. This page will help you to configure a mail server using postfix:

Hi Lim,

You will also need to set up spam filtering software, such as the open-source SpamAssasin.

Shalom,

I don't think sendmail is so bad.
