Hi, I'm looking to set up a virtual server to send and receive email for a domain name and store the email for pick-up by users over POP3 and IMAP. Normally, I'd go for Debian and then configure Exim, Dovecot and others to provide a Let's Encrypt TLS certificate, SPF, DKIM, DMARC, SpamAssassin, etc. It's a long list of things to configure, test, and debug.
But I was wondering if there's a turn-key off-the-shelf distro which makes this simpler. I'm not bothered about a GUI or web configuration interface. And it doesn't have to be Linux; I know FreeBSD is quite popular in this area, historically because of ZFS. A small-office/home-office distro might be he kind of thing. This isn't for a desktop user but an Internet server; a headless box accessed remotely. I'd like to hear of suggestions and especially any experience, whether good or bad. -- Cheers, Ralph. -- Next meeting: Online, Jitsi, Tuesday, 2024-02-06 20:00 Check to whom you are replying Meetings, mailing list, IRC, ... http://dorset.lug.org.uk New thread, don't hijack: mailto:dorset@mailman.lug.org.uk
