I’m setting up a server for a small school. So far the server is running ldap and samba as a primary domain controller and also apache 2.2 and php. My plan is to now add a mail server with imap support and Squirrelmail.
My first question is what is the easiest way of doing this? In Linux I’ve done a server with Postfix and Courier imap and Squirrelmail and been able to provide mail for all the ldap users. I have no problem in principle with using Sendmail - should I have?, will Sendmail play nicely with Courier or should I use Dovecot or Imap-uw. Is there a very good reason I should ditch Sendmail in favor of Postfix? As most Howto’s seem to suggest.
