I just got a question froma friend who is running
FC5 on his home network plus other machines.
He wants to set up his own imap mail server on the
FC5 machine. This server would pull in mail from
another mail server using POP. My understanding
is that the mail servers normally use SMTP to
pull in their mail. Has anyone seen this sort
of setup.
mails can get to servers on the Internet either via smtp or via pop. I
have setup a machine which has a public IP and mails get directed to
the machine via smtp via the mx record on the dns.
Another way I have done this is with a machine that does not have a
public IP by popping the mails from a mail box then distributing it to
users on my box. This I implemented using fetchmail...
Depending on your setup you could use any of the two..
You could also install squirrel mail and imap to give people access on
The purpose of this exercise is that his kids jump
around from one computer to another and this tends
to spread out the email across multiple machines.
I suspect some of the machines are running windows.
Using iMAP, the mail can just reside on the local
server.
other computers, but this would work with a webserver...
Thanks for any pointers.
