>1.2. Why I wrote this document</H2
|
|
><P
|
|
>There are different approaches on how to set up different mailsystems. Most documents that are available are
|
|
related to Sendmail, procmail, WU-IMAPd and friends. These packages are very good but are unfortunately very
|
|
inflexible in their user administration.
|
|
</P
|
|
><P
|
|
>For a long time I was testing alternative MTA's like qmail, postfix and exim, in conjunction with IMAP/POP-servers like
|
|
Cyrus, vpopmail, Courier IMAP and others.</P
|
|
><P
|
|
>At the end of the day, from my point of view the couple Postfix/Cyrus seems to be the
|
|
most flexible and best performing solution.</P
|
|
><P
|
|
>All these combinations of software had one thing in common: their was very little documentation available
|
|
describing how these packages work together with each other.
|
|
To install the software, lot of effort has be spent to get all information needed to get all the
|
|
software running.</P
