Hi All,

I have been posting to this forum for some time now and the good people here have been really helpful to me. I thank you all.

The actual feature I am looking for in a linux base mail server before I choose qmail are as follows:

1. Email content filter rules capability
2. Spam filtering rules capability
3. Email gate way capablity
4. Domail routing capability ( So that, we can have the option to send mail directly or through another smpt)
5. Domain pop capability
6. Virus protection capability
7. Mail Rebot capability
8. Should be able to provide web base administration
9.Relay capability
10. Mailing list capability.
11. Should be able to host unlimited domains
12. Domain lever administration

Out of this 12 features, the only one left for me and am still tragling to get is the 5th one which is Domain POP. People recommended getmail and fetchmail which I tried with out success because I am using virtual domains and users.
Once again, can any one give me a simple solution to this?

For the content filter, I will be using procmail through webmin but all the same, I don't know how to integration it into qmail yet since am using virtual domain and procmail seem to support local usres $HOME/Maildir.

In the case of Email gate way or setting up qmail as a gate way, that am not sure what I got will work because I didn't test it yet. So if some one tested it and it working for him or her, please the person can let me know.


If any one have any other Linux base mail server other than qmail which got all this features, I will appreciate if the person can share with me.

Thank you all.

Hi,

Have a look at Zimbra

Have you looked at Webmin or Virtualmin?

Take a look at postfix as your MTA (transport maps will forward mail), Maia Mailguard for spam filtering, antivirus checks, attachment filters . . .(it has a nice interface that allows users to manage their own spam), and

Yes, I'm sure postfix will be nice !

Thank you all for the reply. For webmin I even have it installed and using it to manage the server.
Does postfix as you recommended have a support for domain pop, domain level administration,and can be use with procmail? I am going to start configuring postfix now. But just want to be sure is I can poll mails from another server like MDaemon to the postfix server and let it distribute it to users.

Once again thank you.

I have also looked at Zimbra and it looks great but am not sure the open souce version provides a domain level administration.

Please one thing to consider which I forgot to mention is, I am doing this at an ISP place who provides mail solution to many organizations.
