Hi, I'm new and my english it's no so good, so first, hello every body!!!
I Have a conection with mi ISP, but i have a LAN and I want to make posible
to my users get the email trough me, so mi idea is in my server postfix
with my relay server one level up, i want to download with fetchmail or
getmail the email from 7 mailboxes from a IMAP or pop3 server (any of two)
and deliver all those messages to local mailboxes for my users to be able
reading from their outlook, so since i'm new to this kind of configuration
I required some help, so thanks, and greetings from Cuba!
This is a common setup. I set it up for my LAN 4ish years ago.
Install fetchmail, postfix, spamassassin & courier-imapd.
When you install postfix, during the config questions, tell it you
want to be a relay and then specify your ISP's smtp server.
You'll have to create an account on the mail server for each client.
Then, in turn for each account, su and run maildirmake.
Next each account will need a ~/.fetchmailrc with which specifies
the ISP pop3 server, username and password. I suggest each user
also have a crontab entry that runs fetchmail every 8th minute.
Lastly, each client will have to be set up for IMAP (looking at the
LAN mail server) instead of POP, and the smtp server also be the LAN
mail server.
I'm probably leaving out something important, but it's late...
NOTE: All comments about this *malformed* english it's well received...too!
Actually, your written English is quite good.
