I built a qmail/web-based email server here using debian.
The system is as follows:
P5 133
128M RAM
9 Gig SCSI HD
To get everything running I used the following packages to
get everything running:
qmail-src
courier-imap
apache-php3
horde
imp
mysql-server
First install qmail and configure appropriately, then the other
packages will work with minimal configuration.
I like to avoid redhat (my preference). Debian is a cleaner
distro especially for building servers.
