Title: Email Queuing & Delivery
Post by: pcworkswv on August 02, 2004, 02:54:28 PM

I have a Windows 2000 system setup to receive all email before sending it to my SME server. This allows me not to lose any email if my SME server is down for whatever reason. I was wondering if there is a simple linux solution to do this as well?

My current setup for mail queuing is:

Windows 2000 Server running IIS 5.0
SMTP services enabled.
Added a domain name for each of my domains.
In each domain name properties, I have the following options checked:
Allow incoming mail to be relayed to this domain.
Forward all mail to smart host (I have IP of my SME server entered here in brackets).

I'm sure just about all distributions can do it but is there a small linux package that is tailored to SMTP services to make the process simple?

Any help would be appreciated as well as how to configure linux to do the same thing as I have Windows SMTP service doing.

Thanks,
Nathan

Oh .. i normaly use a linux server to not lose data if the Windows server is down :-)

SME do all you want, faster and more secure as on your Windows server.
Just install SME on a testserver and try it out.

Sounds good. Will give it a try.

After I setup the virtual domains for each site on the test SME server, what should the E-mail settings be on both SME servers to ensure that mail is being queued and deleivered?

Thanks for your help.
