    Linux e-mail server setup

    Thanks for this The bridge mode seems to be best for an internal setup, although NAT is also good if the system is public facing. What I mean, and can illustrate using your method of explanation, would be:- Poweron -> BIOS - > Host OS - > VMware Server - > VM OS’s I guess the vmware server...

    Linux e-mail server setup

    You say that ESX and ESXi are embedded, where VMware Server runs on top of an existing OS. I assume this means the server is pre-installed in a VMware virtual host which can be installed and run on most operating systems (Windows). If so, this would save a bit of time, and work well for me...

    Linux e-mail server setup

    You mention VMware Server - is this the same as Vmware’s server esx (if I have the last bit right). I was told that vmware do a freeware offering, but I’m not sure if this is hosting software for virtual machines, or, if it’s an actual configured server? I had a look on the Vmware web site, but...

    Linux e-mail server setup

    Thanks RhythmAce for this. Can I just clarify one of your first points where you say a server of any type needs a static IP address? I can understand this, but at the same time I understood that because IPv4 Public addresses had become in short supply some ISPs started providing external...

    Linux e-mail server setup

    Yes this is what we are about, getting hold of product (principally from the Far East) which is normally still in development that we think we can sell-on, and at the same time have the opportunity to influence the final product look or functionality, working with the product designers and...

    Linux e-mail server setup

    You make very good comments, and i agree with this statement. "The draw back seems to be the GUI or admin interface. It should be a little more intuitive or have a lot of context sensitive help." In terms of the step-by-step instructions (manual) you mention. We were supplied with...

    Linux e-mail server setup

    Hi - I understand your frustration, and I guess for my part not having any Linux experience I’m in the dark with what could be considered a normal Linux Server. Given your reaction, perhaps we should not be calling this product a Server at all, but a large NAS with added functionality. Let me...

    Linux e-mail server setup

    Thanks for this RhythmAce I notice Webmin is a web-based interface for system administration for Unix, but assume this must be installed on linux / unix It sounds like it is a useful tool, but unfortunately we are not in a position to install and use this mangement software, as we are a...

    Linux e-mail server setup

    Thanks RhythmAce - this is useful. I guess for me who is new to setting up an email server, i had assumed these fields required inputting some sort of information and were part of a standard setup. it would be useful for me to be able to attach a screen shot of the e-mail server setting...

    Linux e-mail server setup

    Thanks lgarner - the new domain idea sounds good and will suit my purpose. In terms of the sendmail / postfix response - unfortunately our Server is installed with postfix, but to complicate things the DOM based Linux operating system is not accessible. What I mean is that the OS cannot be...

    Linux e-mail server setup

    Hi I'm hoping to get an e-mail server up and running to test its functionality, and allow me to evaluate it’s suitability for our office, and compatibility with existing kit. At the same time I don’t want to disturb our current e-mail setup, so need to find a way to allow me to test the new...
