Mailservers

My manager is fed up with the escalating costs of running our mail server under NT. I have been given the task of creating a Linux based mail server.

I have the following Distro's: Mandrake 7.2, TurboLinux 6 and Corel 2. I have the 1 CD version of Mandrake from Linux Format.

Is there any reason I should consider not using one of these distros for the mail server?

What mail server software is available? Which is highly regarded? Where can I get info on installing, configuring and administrating said software?

DO NOT USE THAT MANDRAKE OF LINUX FORMAT (brit mag yeah?).

it was faulty, and is a bit old and limited in the fact that it doesn;t have the other useful disk!

out of what you got i suggest turbo linux (corel is very old). personally i think that you should get slackware :-) tis by far the best!!!!

(that's just my opinion!)

You REALLY do not want to use Corel. Your best bet out of the distro's listed is probably TurboLinux. I would suggest you use either Red Hat 6.2 (plus updates), Debian or Slackware.
