I should have sent this to Box.
Here is a very good (definative) resource for Exim. [link|http://www.jcdigita.com/eximconfig/|EximConfig] (look at the changelogs - back to 2003) Also checkout the acknowledgements... some coolstuff there. (BTW, Debian Sarge Currently uses Exim 4.50) Requirements: - Exim 4.2x or 4.3x mailer preferably with TLS support and either the dl_local_scan patch applied or compiled with SA-Exim replacement local_scan.c
Embedded Perl support is also recommended for unescaping and Base64 decoding message body text, along with MySQL database support if you wish to use the flood protection feature. The exim4-daemon-heavy package distributed with GNU/Debian Linux meets the above requirements. - (Optional) SpamAssassin for spam scanning of messages.
- (Optional) SA-Exim for SMTP-time spam scanning and rejection using SpamAssassin (Pre-compiled sa-exim.so included)
- (Optional) Exim compiled with Exiscan patch for virus scanning (Such as Debian's exim4-daemon-heavy), plus suitable 3rd party anti-virus software, such as ClamAV.
- (Optional) SPF daemon (spfd) running via socket /tmp/spfd for SPF support. This is available in the Debian's libmail-spf-query-perl package.
- Ideally one or more registered domain names with MX record(s) pointing directly at your Exim host server(s) to allow SMTP-time rejection to work effectively.
EximConfig can also work with indirectly received mail (E.g: Collected using Fetchmail), but will only act as a filter - The spammers will never see the rejections :( )
I am pretty impressed with Boggis. He made everything work together. Now, couple all of this with Courier IMAP(S) and POP3(S), and you gots a solution to hammer on that works and can be managed. Plus you can add in Virtual Domains for exim and support those easily enough with flat files or a DB or something. -- [link|mailto:greg@gregfolkert.net|greg], [link|http://www.iwethey.org/ed_curry|REMEMBER ED CURRY!] @ iwetheyFreedom is not FREE.

nope
I always present bidness folks with 2 choices and let them make the decision. If you give them only one choice they will decide on another product that you dont like. The choices were biz or sendmail and opensource. Both equally weighted. They chose Biz. My preference was opensource. Being a Sun shop, Sun fully supports sendmail on Solaris 10. I would have went with clamAV, Spam asassin rbls.
thanx,
bill

Never did find any way to duplicate virtuser functionalty.
Part of it, yeah, but no the part I wanted. Webmin was a goal, but not the only one.

dont need webmin, me I wouldnt use it
mail.cf etc is easy to use and configure, I have done it before, could do it again. Webmin although is useful for ops admins who just need to tweak a pre-approved setting in a change control window. I spent several hours in Montreal next to one of the Sendmail developers. Product is stable, mature and Supportable by a vendor (Sun).
