The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Linux Internal Email Server setup

Asked by bczingo in SendMail Email Server

Tags: , , , ,

Greetings everyone,

I am pretty new to Linux, DNS and Email altogether.  Furthermore, I was asked to setup a Linux internal mail server to replace our NT mail server for our office accounts only.  I checked out postfix and other options, but I decided I want to try learn and understand sendmail.  I have read through countless articles and docs trying to help myself better understand the process.  Nonetheless, trying to teach myself so much in such little time is taking its toll on me.  I suppose my major questions are as follows:

1. If no external mail capabilities are desired, do I still need to worry about setting up DNS?

2. What is the easiest solution for setting up MS Outlook 2k to work with this server? (we currently have Internet Mail that points to our external domain and Microsoft Mail pointing to our NT Server) I have tried pointing Outlook to the server's static IP, but no luck.

From what I understand--which may not even be sufficient--any of our office PCs should be able to look at the Linux server via port 110, and be directed to their personal user mailbox.  Sending mail should work the same except through port 25, the mail header should be read and then place the message in the desired user's mailbox.

I have Fedora Core 2 installed on the Linux box and we have a combination of Windows 2k and XP office machines all running Outlook 2k or 03.  I really appreciate any help you Linux experts can provide.  All of this is starting to give me a headache.  Start Free Trial
