Web based email

[sarm]

Hi,

Looking for what works best with sendmail for web based email. I was considering maybe squirrelmail.

I currently have sendmail configured and running
for about 30 accounts. If I were to add webmail will my friends using outlook,eudora and the like still be able to access there mail with there current client software?

Thanks

I use horde's imp. I have only one mail account on my server. It works, but not great.

At my work we use Opeb Webmail and I just recently set it up on my Linux server at home.

I can send mail out but still working on incoming. I'm just playing around with IMap2000 and Postfix. I'm still a newbie.

Hi,

Thanks to all who replied with opinions. Since I have been considering setting up a web based email now I'm thinking of trying qmail. I have read some articles that qmail is a more efficient and secure then sendmail. Would changing over to qmail be a wiser move for webmail or should I just stick with sendmail? I haven't had any issues in over a year using sendmail I'm just wondering if performance wise it would be better to switch over to qmail. I wonder what mta yahoo and hotmail use for webmail?

Thanks

I posted this in another thread:

I use webmin too! It's a great interface for administering your Linux box remotely. If I need to login I use a program called SecureCRT. Anyways, I recently setup my webmail server and I was having trouble receiving incoming messages. This is what I did to get everything to work perfectly.

I installed IMap2000 RPM package

http://rpmfind.net/linux/RPM/redhat/7.3/i386/imap-2001a-10.i386.html

Then I installed Postfix RPM package

http://rpmfind.net/linux/RPM/redhat/7.3/i386/postfix-1.1.7-2.i386.html

After this, I logged into my Webmin and went to -> Networking -> Extended Internet Services and started the imap and pop3 services.

Then I went to Servers -> Sendmail Configuration and stopped the sendmail service. Now click on Servers -> Postfix Configuration to setup all my settings and started the postfix service.

My mail server can be accessed via web browser at

http://webmail.mabaho.com

or it can be setup to send/retrieve messages in Outlook Express using mail.mabaho.com as the incoming and outgoing mail server.

I'm a newbie at Linux Been playing around with it for the past two weeks and I love it. I learn something new everyday. Good luck!
