A huge thanks to all of you for your valuable input. I appreciate it very much. I have considered the spam problem that I know will occur if I set this up. I was going to install Message Sniffer on the backup MX and use it in conjunction with SpamAssassin to try and block as much spam as possible. I'm still kicking around ideas at this point so nothing is in stone. I figure no matter what I choose, I will still need to have some kind of AV/AS programs running on it. Right now I'm using other Windows servers as the backup mx for my primary Windows mail servers. I wanted to try out Postfix for the backup MX because it's solid and trusted. Also, I would not need to purchase Windows licenses. It's always nice to save a few bucks when ya can ;)
Again everyone.. thank you so much and I hope all of you stay healthy and safe wherever you are in the world :) On Tue, Mar 31, 2020 at 1:23 PM Ken Wright <[email protected]> wrote: > Linda, > > I used LinuxBabe's instructions and have been completely happy with the > results.
