Re^2: (OT) Setting up a mail server

Cool thanks for your input, I suppose our needs are relatively small at the moment, but obviously want to have room to up the output from the system in time.

Don't want to spam anyone though, nothing more annoying than that!

Also we are UK based, so i'm guessing that we should really get ourselves a UK based server to avoid looking like a spammer.

This Full-Q installation, is that the software being used or hardware? We already have a mail sending solution which uses sendmail, so I guess we really just neem a suitably setup server to send the mails.

Thank for your help though.

The full-Q is basically a well thought out installation of Q-Mail with a lot of admin and monitoring tools. I have done Q-Mail installation myself and got them going reasonable well but the folk at Inter-7 seem to have a bit of a knack. It is just the software. They will want you to present them with a server with a full Linux installation. Server location choice is a ticklish issue - but only for spammers, for you it is straightforward. Being in the UK will make the whole process easier and get the mail through faster. I have tried lower cost options, I am in Canada and I used to host in the US. But I can't get to machines easilly and I find it far more convenient to have the machine 5km down the road than across a border or even worse, an ocean. Good luck jdtoronto	[reply]
