When you are new, it's best to do one thing at a time, and make sure it is working, before you try to integrate all the components together. > My machine name is halemail.dyndns.org.

Currently, under IEMS, I have all You don't need to tell postfix anything about "holding" mail for these accounts. When postfix receives mail for these users, it will write these emails to the users' mail spools, and the mail will "wait" there until it can be accessed. For your users to be able to download this email via POP3, you need to have a POP3 server installed on your system. What should become apparent to you now, is that IEMS is a blackbox solution, offering SMTP, POP3 and mailing list management in one. To replace it, you need postfix to provide SMTP service for incoming email, a POP3 server like qpopper, and mailman for mailing lists. > the accounts in there and then I just use halemail.dyndns.org as the pop and > smtp servers.

You're on the right track. Just install, configure and test postfix to make sure it is working fine, then install qpopper (the POP3 server) and test it. And then when that's working, move on to mailman. You'll be fine. -- Anand Buddhdev Personal site: http://anand.org _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
