Advice please: Picking a mail server
Hello all,
I'm in the process of building a new machine. I'm switching from Mandrake
to Debian and am also considering switching away from Qmail/vpopmail as my
mail server. Here are my requirements.
Selected relaying. My machine currently set to mail bag for about 100+
other domains in case the correct server is not available. These are
currently listed in a file, although reading the list straight from DNS
would be fine.
Virtual domains. I host about 5 domains and would like to continue to do
so. I *really* like Vpopmail's ability to let me login in with
'user@domain.com'. Also default accounts are extremely useful.
I had been playing around with the Courier system since it seemed to have
everything I wanted, but to get the Virtual domains the way I wanted I would
have to use Vpopmail. That means compiling the source and doing a manual
install.
I would like to not need to go outside the Debian package system. I really
like apt-* and don't want to have to risk stuff with custom compiling.
Other features that would be nice, but not mandatory: web based admin (via
webmin is fine), filtering and webmail. (All web features need to be
non-PHP.)
I see I can actually stay with Qmail in all this, but I'm wondering if there
is something better. Your thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks!
Chris
