Providing the range of mail-related services expected by organizations can be a confusing, daunting process. Pro Open Source Mail: Building an Enterprise Mail Solution presents a comprehensive guide to managing the most important services, including user administration, mail transfer agents, virus protection, spam and mail filtering, Web-based mail, and mailing list maintenance.

Beginning with installation and configuration of the popular server-based operating system, Fedora Core, the book outlines the system and network preparation process geared towards running an enterprise mail server. Subsequent chapters cover installation and configuration of Sendmail, popular POP3/IMAP servers Qpopper and Dovecot, and various mainstream Open Source software used for virus protection and spam filtering. With a nod to the global mail availability now required by many organizations, this book also guides you through configuration of a Web-based mail interface and mailing-list software.
