Qmail Toaster

Thinking of setting up a email server? Thinking of doing it without the huge cost of getting a Windows server? Scared of telling your boss that the Microsoft Exchange Software will cost several thousand of dollars and it doesn’t allow you to have 200 users? Worried that without the costly anti-virus and anti-spam system, your IT department will be swamped with tech calls from angry staff? Nervous about setting up a Linux system when you do not have any experience with Linux itself? Well, you are saved! Yes, there is Qmail Toaster available for you and me.

This package depositary supports a variety of features for anyone thinking of setting up a Linux Server. You just need to download CentOS or Fedora Core or Mandriva or SuSE Linux and install it. If you can’t install these distros, you shouldn’t be administrating an email server. And after you have installed the OS, you just need to follow a few simple instructions and you are done. If you are even lazier, they have a script for you too. So just run the script and you are ready to setup your first Linux email server. Isn’t it wonderful?

The features include having a anti-spam and anti-virus email scanning system (Spam Assassin and ClamAV), supports virtual domains, allows web-based email access and administration, supports industry wide authentication, allows mailing lists, supports POP access and security features for emails like SPF, DKIM and so on. And everything is based on the popular MTA Qmail, just only easier. Best of all, it’s free. Your boss will be impressed. You just need to make sure everything is working properly first before you try to impress him/her.
