Hello,
I am hoping you folks on the list could advise me on this...
Can anyone point me towards a HOW-TO that describes how to transform a normal CentOS install into a very basic POP3/IMAP/SMTP email server?
Our current ISP where we host ~15 domains and ~25+ email accounts has a mandatory incoming "auto-discard" spam filter that is far too strict to continue using.
Unfortunately, switching ISPs is not an option right now.
I am looking at signing up for a basic low-memory CentOS "Virtual Dedicated Server" to handle our own incoming (& outgoing) mail.
There will not be a full-time IT person to maintain the server, so simplicity is a must.
I am perfectly fine with leaving out complex server-side spam filtering, though I suspect that some basic blacklist usage would be a good idea.
Most specifically, I don't want to add the security liability and maintenance requirements of a typical "default" server. (Apache, PHP, MySQL, Bind, etc.)
Basically, I want an ultra-basic server that I can set for automatic updates and let it continue running "hands-off" until CentOS 4 is no longer supported with security patches.
Does such a HOW-TO exist?
If not, and there are experts here willing to help out, I would be happy to write up my experience.
Thank you for reading, David
