[wellylug] Linux mail programs like Mercury?

[Phil Daintree]

1 more thing.

Sendmail is the smtp transport, qpopper is the pop3 server and if you are
fetching the group email from a POP3 box on an isp you will also need
fetchmail. This is a small program to handle the fetching of IMAP or POP3
mail box mail and convert it into an SMTP stream to be handled by sendmail.

Subject: [wellylug] Linux mail programs like Mercury?



To show my absolute ignorance of Linux mail systems, is there a Linux mail
routing program (POP3, SMTP clients and servers) as flexible and easy to
setup as the Mercury mail system (originally written for novel networks by
the same guy who does Pegasus) ??

At the moment I have setup a Win95 machine running Mercury to act as a mail
gateway for a small network for a non-profit group (receives mail from a
single group mailbox via dialup connection, and distributes it to
individual mailboxes on the local network, also collects mail from the
local network and distributes it to the local network or outside world as
appropriate)

Works pretty well, and non-technical users can control it via menus for
simple user management etc.

I would like to transfer it to a Linux box but there is no Linux version of
Mercury available either.

Can someone save me trawling through innumerable mail programs to find
something suitable?
