Hi. I wish to configure a CentOS 4.1 box to be a mail server. I'd like a setup with virtual mail accounts, using eg. exim, courier and mysql. Do any applications exist that already combine this in an easy to deploy manner (yum as far as possible)? I've seen XAMS.org but that's discontinued. Br, Morten

I believe that if you intend to use mysql for users, most any MTA would have to be re-compiled to use it.

CentOS comes standard with Cyrus-imapd (it's on the install CD, and you can also install it using yum). Default configuraion uses system accounts to authenticate, but it is trivial to change it to authenticate against LDAP (for example). Exim comes standard with CentOS too. So if you are willing to trade courier for cyrus, and mysql for openldap, than you would have very easilly deployable server with components that are actively maintained by upstream provider (and will be for at least next 6 years). ---------------------------------------------------------------- This message was sent using IMP, the Internet Messaging Program.
