Which MTA is the best given my > limitation? You might find that qmail and vpopmail might do the trick. qmail is secure enough to have running on a firewall machine, and easy enough to set up. The only problem is it isn't (DFSG) free (but it is free beer free). vpopmail is GPL'd, and allows you to have virtual users, which do not need local machine accounts. It also has a nice HTML interface, and there is an imap server (courier-imap) which works well with it. qmail is packaged (a source package) in non-free, and vpopmail can be found at http://www.inter7.com/vpopmail (I think). cheers, damon -- Damon Muller (dm-sig6@empire.net.au) / It's not a sense of humor. * Criminologist / It's a sense of irony * Webmeister / disguised as one. * Linux Geek / - Bruce Sterling - Running Debian GNU/Linux: Doing my bit for World Domination (tm) -
