SMTP AUTH is doable with both Postfix and sendmail, but in each case, some work is required. I personally use and recommend Courier, which compiles very nicely on redhat (you can build an RPM of it right out of the tarball), and it comes with a POP/IMAP server, webmail server, mailing list manager, support for PostgreSQL/MySQL and LDAP backends for users, a filter-capable delivery agent called maildrop, and most importantly, SMTP AUTH is supported out of the box without any funny setup. And all the POP/IMAP, webmail and SMTP connections can go over SSL, so that passwords are safe. Courier also has a web-based administration interface to manage all these different components easily. http://www.courier-mta.org -- Anand Buddhdev http://anand.org -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
