Dear All,
I am trying hard to setup mail solution as follows :
We already have remote server with domain name and mail setup, where we
have our website (managed by external agency). Where as, for few local
users I would like to download the mails to these users ( at the same
time few other users will be able to access their mails directly from
the remote server, as they are roaming) .
Our local users are behind proxy (squid + NCSA authentication) and
firewall, thus could not directly access to any external IP.
Local users can also check their mails through squid and web mail
client. But to avoid excessive load on our thin net connectivity, I
would like to setup intermediatery server, which download mails from our
remote mail server for selective users.
In the above scenario I am working on setting up Fetchmail + Sendmail +
Dovecot + squirrel mail (hope I have choosen the right combination)
After googling too much I could not any HOWTO of such kind.
How should I configure Sendmail when I am fetching mails from another
mail server ??
How should /etc/resolv.conf looks like in this case ??
How should I configure SMTP ??
Have all mails put in a single mbox, pull them and hand to sendmail for delivery.
To get addresses accepted you can either add items to the /etc/aliases, or put
things in /etc/mail/local_names. The alias solution is easier. You may have to
allow forwarding of stuff sent over the loopback address, I haven't done this in
several years and can't be sure.
Set up fetchmail to pull from a local mailbox you can preload, and verify that
delivery occurs, then point fetchmail at the real mailbox. That reduces your
chances of lost mail.
