But what  packages are best to do the aforementioned tasks. I was under 
the impression there were quite a few choices.

And where would documentation for these things be?

Sorry my question was what's the best way to do this

What software? How do I configure it? Is there a guide or wizard?

Thanks

Quite literally, everything is already exists on the machine to do this;
you can use Webmin as an "all in one" GUI to configure it all...

[newbie] Mail setup

2003-08-10 Thread Michael Lothian
Hi

I'm not sure this is the best place for this question but here goes...

I'm getting a 2MBit broadband conection and I'd like to set a linux box 
to be my own mail server.

What's the best way to do this:

My ideal setup would be imap, pop and webmail and an ftp and web server 
as well perhaps. Oh yes and spam assasin is an essential.

Is there any setup guides for this or does Mandrake have any wizards?

Oh yes my current domain is fireburn.co.uk and my new conection will 
have a fixed ip.

Again I'm not sure about all this as I've only really used mandrake for 
playing music and watching dvds.

Thanks again

Mike

Firewall, gateway, mail server (pop/imap), webserver, ftp server, irc
server...wouldn't take too long to get all that set in place and have a
nicely protected network on the inside...

I fear explanations explanatory of things explained.
