Re: please "lead" me into basic mailservice
Configure Fetchmail to get the E-mails and feed them to the accounts on your
Linux router.
then install an POP server ( I don't know what it's called sorry. do a
apt-cache search popd {OR} pop ) your users should be able to use pop to get
e-mail from their Linux accounts via pop.
Fetchmail : Get's E-mail from Multiple pop accounts and delivers them to
each Linux account on the machine.
Pop: Allows users access to there E-mail.Via a separate e-mail client
PS: This should be very easy to setup. Download, fetchmail. AND
fetchmailconf. Good docs and nice interface to setup fetchmail. oh. and the
config files are the easiest to understand an tweak. very cool program.
You can use Procmail to set up some funky filers, and do some much more
advanced Mail magic. but I've always had a hard time understanding the
config files. and have never used it.
Tell me how it works out. I'm gonna have to setup a full mail server with
sendmail and pop myself soon.
