Intranet E-mail

[LearningFox]

I have been asked to provide an internal e-mail solution for a small church office. There are five users. Some have dial-up Internet access while others have no access. All are on a lan. They want to be able to send internal e-mail.

I have a limited budget ($0) but several old PC's to scavenge. I imagine the processor will be in the 100 -233 pentium range.

I am looking for recommendations. I have used Linux but still see myself as a newbie.

Thanks!

You can accomplish this task by using:

Sendmail (SMTP)

http://sendmail.org

QPopper (POP3)

http://eudora.com/qpopper

Spam Assassin (Spam Blocker)

http://spamassassin.org

ClamAV (Antivirus)

http://clamav.net

These should run fine on a 233mhz with 5 concurrent users.

As for Linux, if this is your first time install one of the many distro's.

This is not terribly hard to do.
I would use postfix, qpopper and
amavisd which handles popular
antivirus products.

1)I would run internal dns and mail
on one box. Point your windows(?)
clients to this dns server.
2)Create a fictitious internal domain
name, create your zone files and
edit named.conf.
3)Configure postfix and amavisd.
4)Install qpopper.
5)Create mail accounts on each client
that utilize the internal mail and
pop.

Thanks! I will be reading on those suggestions and will probably have more questions later.
