Mail, POP, IMAP server !!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hello All, I am setting up a website on my home computer running fedora core-2 on a cable modem connection. I have already done some of the things but got stuck on few things i.e mail, imap, pop,smtp & squirrell mail etc., where your help will be highly appriciated. I have searched the web a lot and by now I am totally confused with so much of information. Here is the progress of my home website project : 1. Home Network is setup with private static ip connected to a linksys router 2. Port 25, 80, 110, 143 have been opened and forwared for smtp, http, imap 3. Apache webserver is configured on the fedora core-2 and runing fine. 4. domain has been registered and pointed to free zonedit dns server with a dynamic ip of my home ISP - Eventhought the ip is dynamic but I haven't noticed any change since i got it 5. now when I connect to my website from anywhere it lands on my home computer 6. I have also adjusted /etc/hosts for the sendmail to send e-mail - mails can be sent from my home computer using my domain address e.g : abc@xyz.com /usr/lib/sendmail -v helpneeded@yahoo.com - works fine no issues Now the real problem starts --------------------------- 1. How do I receive the e-mail 2. I guess I will have to setup mail,imap, & pop server 3. I am not sure what I software I should be using and how. 4. how to configure squirrellmail as web mail address I will really appriciate a step-by-step help for all the above to complete my home website project. Thanks |
