Re: Best distro for Exim/Cyrus

Hi again Cyrus list,

still trying to find a definitive resource to use to get this mail server up and running.  Does anyone know of a good howto for setting up Debian/Exim/Cyrus?  I think this is the combination I want to move from the Centos/Exim/Dovecote box I inherited but I must confess to really struggling here.

It seems there are lots of different variations on the set up, what config files are used for different distros and even versions of Debian. I'm not finding consistency between what I am seeing on my system and the things the guides I'm using are suggesting I should see.

I appreciate that setting up such a mail server does require significant knowledge, more of which I hope to acquire through this project.  I am surprised however at the difficulty I am experiencing here.  I would be more than happy to get this started with a simple config and spend more time building a better server down the road if anyone can point me in the right direction for a good guide/howto.

Maybe I've bitten off more than I can chew with Exim/Cyrus.  Surely it should be possible to set such a mail server up in a day or so?

Hoping to find a bone here...  :-(

I've used Debian for exim and cyrus for the last 10 years or so and in my experience the packages Just Work. I would definitely recommend.

Hi all,

I am replacing a mail server and want to implement an Exim/Cyrus solution.  Most specifically it is Cyrus and the ACLs that I want.  I have not set up a mail server in more than 10 years and many things have changed.

What do the users of this list consider the best Linux distro for simple set up and maintenance of an Exim/Cyrus-imap mail server?  I was leaning towards Debian simply because I use it on other hosts.

I seem to be having trouble finding a good howto to set this up using repositories rather than compiling.

Any suggestions?
