I'm setting up mail services on my box I'm looking for
opinions on what
combination SMTP/POP/Mail AV/Spam Filtration works best together.
I currently have Sendmail, Postfix and Exim installed I also have ClamAV
and Spam Assassin along with the rest of the 'everything' install
package from the Fedora install.
Use the MTA you are most familiar with. Asking for opinions will not
help you to manage any of those 3 any better, but even may call for a
religious MTA war. I like Sendmail, others Postfix or Exim. Each of them
has advantages and disadvantages. (No, I don't call for comments by
qmail patch assassins ;)
ClamAV is a really good anti-virus application. SpamAssassin can help
you too to lower the amount of crap filling your inbox.
The primary function is going to be so that I can pull all of my mail
from multiple accounts/servers and hold it locally, then just use a pop
client to read it from a local server. I also want local control over
spam and AV as well. For sending mail I plan to set up the MTA to login
to the server associated with the outgoing from address for each
account. Nothing fancy, just for the learning experience more than
anything.
That outgoing mail scenario kicks out Postfix which does not support
sender based routing. Sendmail and Exim can do so.
