You could have this up and running within the hour: Use sendmail/procmail for mail delivery (sendmail is set to use procmail by defualt, just install both packages). On the sendmail.org page, they have a nice faq guiding you through config process. The imap2000 rpm contains imap/pop protocols for retrieving email via imap4 or pop3. No config needed really. Just install the package and start retrieving mail. You can use something like ssh for securely connecting the machine from work (though this will give you no more than a prompt). It's config file is /etc/ssh/sshd_config and you should be able to figure it out from the comments in the file. If you want graphical interface check out vnc. You can setup mailing lists using majordomo. Very easy to configure. Comes with readme files and setup instructions. Depending upon specs, this setup can handle anywhere from 1 to 10000 users. Email with specific questions if you run into trouble setting these services up.

I have an Email & Webserver setup here at home and everything is running hunky-dory... ANYWAY - I've been using IEMS 5.1 as my Email server (www.ima.com) since it has built in pop3 and mailing lists. Well, I'm running into problems with the software dying at times, they've updated the software to 6.0 and I can't justify to my wife to spend $700 for a piece of software that we only use at home in a non-commercial environment especially since it's not working 100%. So I guess what I'm asking is, for me still new to Linux and needing this stuff going, what is the easiest way to have the following: (1) 10 or so Email addresses that I can access via pop3 (Outlook XP/2002 INSIDE my firewall) that the outside world can send mail to. I use a dyndns.org address currently and everything is fine there. I also need to be able to get to these mailboxes from my workplace. Which would be better? Sendmail, Postfix or what? (2) The ability to setup Mailing Lists that people can subscribe to either by sending an email to my daemon or by a web page interface. I'm willing to read and learn, but I hear that sendmail and majordomo are bears to setup so that's why I'm askling for public opinion. I also want to be able to put something on my resume and for when I go do jobs with companies that I do work on the side for - I've been a Windows person for years but I feel I need to get some of Linux under my belt in order to be more competitive in the job market. Any and all help will be greatly appreciated! THANKS!
