Personally, I'm a qmail person, and he "Life with qmail" documentation is pretty good: http://www.lifewithqmail.org/lwq.html The package name for qmail has changed recently under Gentoo, so you would emerge netqmail instead of qmail. There are many different mta softwares out there. I would suggest trying a few of them, and see which one seems to fit your thought process the best. For me it's qmail, but you might be more of an exim or postfix or (god forbid) sendmail person. Good luck! -Sean --------------enigE8460D85099A6949D9380047 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.4 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFGR9wcURAzA7YU73YRCJVAAJ92IAdWz/1c5Ys6tcNm9g4y186r2wCggZXh eaLfgP51Yyh3ZEaL5fyAYz8= =RzPO -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enigE8460D85099A6949D9380047-- -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
