Hey Folks,

I am migrating my exchange server 2003 to Linux Postfix server.
Does any one have any material to refer to? or Any Portal where I can find all that material.

Thanks in Advance

Hello,

Congratulations on your decision. First of all you'll need to realize that Postfix is only a part of a mail server. You'll need other software too, for example Dovecot for IMAP, POP3, maybe even OpenLDAP for authentication. Have a look at these two, very complete, sites to get an idea.

Oh yeah EricTRA, of course those are de-facto and has to be there. What I wanted to convey here is MTA will be Postfix 2nd preference to qmail and last send mail hence I specifically pt Postfix otherwise remaining components of course we will have to consider.

Hi,

If Postfix is your first choice to use as MTA then both links I referred to will be very helpful in my opinion.

Kind regards,

Eric

Also keep in mind that Postfix (or any MTA of your choice) + Dovecot (or any client interfacing bit you like) is still not a true drop in replacement for Exchange. Exchange also adds some collaboration tools (calendar, contacts, etc). If you don't care about those features it is fine, but it is just another point to consider.

If you wanted a treu one for one replacement you will probably be looking at something like Postfix, Dovecot, and Squirrel Mail at the very least for the mail functions. I am not sure off hand of any solution for the groupware/collaboration piece of things. There are also some interesting open source alternatives to Exchange available.
