HowTO: Postfix - MailScanner - DBMail - SASL - TLS

I would love to, but I'm not at the same company, and the company that I work for already has a mail solution in place. I was looking at these instructions last week remembering how much fun it was to figure out. If you are willing to put in the time and a server, I'm willing to help out as much as possible.

sounds good.

just wondering how out of date the instructions might have been, considering it was written two years ago.

what kind of setup do you have now? at one of the companies i used to work with, they had dual instance of postfix running, but i was there a few years ago, so i'm a little foggy on the actual set up.

There was a huge discussion on the mailscanner list about running dual vs split instances of postfix. Unless something changed, one of the main developers of Mailscanner said that there was no problem running the split postifix config. My best guess is that the biggest change from instructions I wrote and the present versions of the apps would come from DBMail. Postfix is pretty solid and I don't expect them to make any big changes, same with Mailscanner, but due to Mysql updates and better table design, indexes etc... I would expect that dbmail has some schema changes.

The system I built using the posted instructions is still running at my old company, but my current employer is running Lotus Notes. It's very very painful
