Setup mailserver

[defiant1970]

Hi all,

I have spent a ton of time looking to see how to set up an email server and the things I have tried did not work. Can anyone give me some information about setting up an email server that will work in my server farm? I am new to freebsd FreeBSD but a quick study.

Thank you for the help.

Did you read the chapter in the handbook?

It depends what kind of mail server you need. Just send cron logs to your email? Or do you want a personal server with antispam/webfront/IMAP4?

For the first, just take embedded sendmail. For the second my personal recommendations are mail/postfix mail/dovecot2 mail/roundcube
For antispam countermeasures take a greylister, for example mail/spamd. To simplify user management, link postfix and dovecot with you favorite database backend.
