Please help me with setting up a mail server for my college I want to know what software should I use and what distro is better for this work
I have PCQlinux 7.3 PCQlinux 8.0 and redhat 9.0
The requirement s is as given below WE need to schedule the email downloads from our main webserver through a ISDN line.
We need web based interface for the staff to be able to check their mail
All mails sent to the domain endup in a single IMAP /Pop3 acc come to xyz@some.com that email needs to be sorted according to the TO address into different mailboxes
It even needs to act as an outgoing email server too.
Now coming to proxy I want to knwow if squid is the one I should use.
Also where can I find a step by step tutorial since I have hardly any command line experience as well I don't have much time to do it.
Thank you Deepak

Squirrelmail/Horde

fetchmail in multidrop mode.

Postfix/Exim/Sendmail/Qmail as MTA> Courier-Imap / Cyrus Imap as POP3/IMAP server.

For HTTP browsing, yes. There are different proxies for different protocols. You might want to look at squidguard as well.
