Email server?

Hi smile

Would it be possible to compile and run a email server using a fun plug? It would be cool to be able to have an email server online all the time... Is there a small enough email server?

Perhaps some other small mail server?

King regards,

Re: Email server?

Just this weekend I set up dovecot on mine; from a chrooted Debian install, you can just

Code:

sudo apt-get install dovecot-imapd

. The initial generation of the SSL parameters took quite a long time, and the CPU usage is high when you're moving lots of messages around between mailboxes, but other than that, it doesn't seem to tax the box too hard.

I pretty much followed the standard instructions. Google for the dovecot wiki. The only thing that game me trouble was an error with the ssl_parameters.dat file, but it turned out that was just because of the above 'issue' if it taking a long time to generate. That only happens on the first run, and after waiting that out, it's been fine.
