Networking :: Email server for DSL?



I think something smaller and easier to configure like postfix would actually be better for your situation. although I use Qmail, i use it because i have to manage thousands of email accounts.

Postfix is good for someone who just wants to learn...

Don't run a mailserver from your home. Everything grim said.
Well, I downloaded and unzipped it fine, but when the instructions at the link gice me the three commands, none of them work because the make command isn't there. Also, I recieve the error that mail isn't a valid group when I try to install it. I also downloaded the rpm for fetch mail but I can't figure out what to do with it to get it installed. This is all pretty new to me. Thanks for any help you can provide.
Haven't tried make in ages, but I believe you need to install at least the gnu-utils and gcc1 packages before you can "make" under DSL.  Both are in the repository, under System.

May possibly need more than that, I can't remember.

There's also the Alien rpm to deb converter in there, which you need if you want to do anything with rpm's.  But I don't know how much joy you'd have, as I've never tried it.  Pretty sure you'd also need dsl-dpkg installed to get anywhere with the resulting .deb file.

OT - Grim's back!  Long time no see :D
Well... I, being the genious I am, installed fetchmail and procmail and was about to go for msmtp and imap when I realized that I need SSL for my Gmail account. How would I go about uninstalling and reinstalling those programs after I get SSL installed?
It turns out that, while I still need to reinstall fetchmail and procmail with ssl support, I also can't get ssl to work with msmtp, as you can see here. Thanks in advance for your help, I'm actually finding playing with this quite fun. I can see why Linux is better dan Windows now.
