Next message: MrC: "RE: Conversion to Postfix"
Greetings,
I've been lurking on the list for a few days, and I'm here seeking
a little guidance to get me started on the road to using Postfix. I'm
investigating a migration from qmail to Postfix. I have not decided 100%
to do it, but Postfix comes highly recommended by people that I highly
trust.
Here is what I'm looking for in a mail server:
* Inbound and outbound mail delivery in a reliable fashion.
* Spam filtering (preferably with SpamAssassin since I have that
configured.)
* Built-in support for multiple domains.
* Aliases
* Ability to blacklist (eg: block) certain IP ranges or individual IPs.
* Mailing lists (or the ability to work with ezmlm or Majordomo)
* Ability to invoke procmail upon mail delivery.
* Delivery to mail in a user's home directory (eg: ~user/mail/Inbox)
* It would be nice to have support for SPF and/or domain keys.
I would like to have all of the above capabilities without
resorting to third party patches of dubious origin (thus the reason to
move away from qmail.) Could someone please let me know if my wish list is
a pipe dream with Postfix, or am I on the right track?
I'm not concerned with ease of setup or ease of transition. I've
been a Linux system administrator for 11 years now, and I can handle
pretty much any situation that I'm thrown into. However, if there is a
"convert qmail to Postfix" type of document out there, I would appreciate
a friendly pointer to that document.
Also, qmail has http://www.lifewithqmail.com/ which is a decent
document on how to install/configure qmail. Is there something similar for
Postfix that I could follow while installing Postfix? From what I've seen
so far, Postfix is a very full-featured mail server, and tackling all of
those features can be daunting.
Thank you for your time.
