Try to use a complete mail server...

Hi,

I'd like to use an old computer (P166, 80 Mb RAM, 2 Gb HD) as a mail server for a couple of friends. Is this computer enought?? Don't care about anything graphics so no X.

I tryed slackware, and it installed and seems ok. I didn't tryed sendmail, but it was running.

I would like to use IMAP on this computer for simplification for my friends. But I don't think there is a server installed as default. What do I need for this?

I saw a package on the cd, used pkgtool to "install" it, but notghing else happens... What do I need to do for this??

thank you very much!

Since I didn't know how to set up a imap server with slackware and didn't find any info on this, I found another distro called "SME Server v6.0.1" from http://contribs.org/

This is a mail server distro, exactly what I was looking for

I'd like to serve some files withing my organisation. What should be the simplest method for this? Maybe a forum? I'm trying Invision right now...Or a plain http:// directory?

for file sharing why not setting up a newbie friendly FTP server e.g. BulletProof http://www.bpftpserver.com

I've found Webshare to do what I'd like... Its a SME's user contribution that can be found @ http://www.contribs.org/contribs/dma...trib/webshare/

My mail server is working nice, BUT...

My ISP is blocking port 25!!!!!!!!!!! the only thing I can do with port 25 is connect to my isp's smtp server... I cannot reveice mail at user@mydomain.com... I can send emails thrue my isp's smtp server.

Anyone having a workaround for this???? Something free if possible... I don't want to send emails (and spam) I just want to RECEIVE emails!!!

thank you
