Re: mail server setup questions



Hello

2007/9/5, Andrey Shuvikov <mr.hyro@xxxxxxxxx>:
Hi,

I'm trying to set up a home mailserver with imap/web access. But I was
going to use exim. Several people mentioned postfix here, but nobody
named exim. Is it a matter of personal preference or is exim not
suitable for this task?

It is more than suitable. Both postfix and exim are comparable and
powerful MTAs. I personally use Exim but that's because I started with
it. It is very customizable.

For those who begin their adventure with exim, maybe even vexim is
better because you get everything virtualised (virtual users, domains,
etc.) and you define your emails, quotas, etc. via browser.
