Linux mail server "pack"?

Mikeyman64 · Post by **Mikeyman64** » Mon Jan 07, 2008 4:34 pm

Does anyone know of a Linux distro that comes with a decent mail server software built in? Or even a [legal] torrent with a distro and mail server bundled together?

I don't unnecessarily need free, but preferably within 3 digits at the most.

Let me try Google...

Search for "free mail server software"
http://www.google.ca/search?q=free+mail ... =firefox-a

Search for "free mail server software linux"
http://www.google.ca/search?q=free+mail ... =firefox-a

I think the results may work for you.

EDIT: Okay, just helping anyway I can. Try not to consider this a little spam-o-licious.

I know VHCS comes bundled with one, and it is free.

Yeah, no help. Thanks anyway.

Linux is okay as a server but as a working desktop system it's a waste of time. (Even as a server it can fail miserably... In my Fedora 7 classes we had to reinstall every three weeks on average because something critical asploded.

)

By way of contrast, in my Server 2003 class we had IIS, MySQL, Windows Mail, Windows Streaming Media, and Microsoft Mail running (and integrated in Active Directory) within the first couple days.

There, is that better?

You must have been doing something seriously wrong bic, I have used linux in server situations many times, and had great success.

I have also had good success with Windows and Mac servers, but for me the cost factor makes it an easy decision.
