Re: Mail server question

If you want to do some elaborate filtering -- such as filtering attachments according to their file type -- you probably need procmail? And if your ISP does not support it and you don't want to download messages that you are ultimately going to reject, don't you have to pretty much create your own mail server?

They just recently (for the most part) consolidated their services.
So you can use your google apps with google voice, and pretty much
anything google related except for youtube for some reason.

The real question which I don't hasn't been addressed is.... why are
you trying to run your own server.  What are you train
to obtain that isn't provided by a service provider free of charge.

Are you trying to learn how to do it?

Are you trying to have finer granular control over your data?

I'd advise you to setup a mail server for an experience perspective,
its a fun thing to have,
and allows you to learn a good bit.  Setup an IMAP server, mailman and such.

But if you want reliability and stability?  I dunno.. gapps is just so
easy and requires no real headaches....


right.. google owns your data.. big deal... you pay for the
convenience with a bit of targeted ads.  You buy
email hosting from some other provider and they own your data too.  It
really comes down to what you want
out of it.
