Mail software


Hi all,

I need some advice on choosing some applications. I have my own domain
(hosted externally) with about half a dozen POP3 E-mail addresses. I have a Debian (Woody) box that I want to make use of and do some learning at the same time.

What I want to do is install an application (fetchmail?) that will download
that mail, filter it for the massive volume of SPAM I recieve, and then
allow a few local Windows machines to get their mail from it (the Woody
box). I would prefer all GUI driven applications if possible.

What would you recommend?

TIA,

Jimi_l

I would say your best bet would be to look on www.tldp.org
I am sure there is some documentation for the scenario you are describing above.
off the top of my head though...you will probably need to use fetchmail with spamassasin and then procmail to deliver the mail to the various user account(does fetchmail do this...maybe...).
