[Cialug] Mail server installations

[Matthew Nuzum]

I don't know what size of install you're thinking about, but for
simplicity, I like Ubuntu Server with Postfix and Dovecot. They're pretty
much plug and play out of the box and maintenance is both minimal and easy
to do remotely. There is no in-built web mail solution, but because you get
imap and pop3 then any nice webmail tool will work.

And just because they're simple doesn't mean they're simplistic, both are
heavy duty apps that can take a lot of load.

This solution is, in my opinion, way more "KISS" than Zimbra. It bears no
resemblance to Exchange, however.
