How would I got about setting up such a thing. I have a domain already and I want to set it up so that email I can have myname@mydomain.org

Ditto here. I am playing with qmail (Sendmail doesn't make sense) but I am having to fight with it. It sometimes just won't deliver the messages to the file that I want it too... http://www.linuxnewbie.org/ubb/mad.gif

Use Exim for your mail server. Install it, edit your /etc/exim.conf, restart it (if it's running as a daemon)... done with SMTP!

Install a Pop3 daemon. I like Solid-Pop3d, because it's dead simple: no configuration required. Just install it, get it running (usually you'll have it running from inetd), and you're done with POP3.

I've tried exim, but it doesn't like me either... qmail just won't send! http://www.linuxnewbie.org/ubb/mad.gif I'll figure them out... someday.

Try postfix. It's the best SMTP daemon IMHO

qmail was the biggest ***** in the world (worse than my last girlfreind),

BUT, there are a few key things to get it working right..

unfourtountly, it took me 2 months to figure those out and i never wrote anything down :\

I agree, Qmail is a fscking b!tch. So I dropped her http://www.linuxnewbie.org/ubb/smile.gif I've gotten Exim to work, although I did have to manually create a /var/mail and screw around with some wacked out permissions. I ended up just saying to heck with it and chmod 777'ed the thing (/var is on it's own partition so who cares if it gets filled?)

Er, that thing about Exim, scratch it. Fetchmail wouldn't handle Exim right, and always ended up segfaulting (a bad thing if you ask me.) klamath: I downloaded postfix and it is working like a charm now. Doing everything I need http://www.linuxnewbie.org/ubb/cool.gif
