email server solution for Fedora Core 5.

Hello
I'm looking for an email server solution that I can freely use based on Linux Fedora Core 4 or 5 where I can add / remove users through a MySQL database independently from the linux users and administer the web server through a web based admin page.

Would you have any suggestions?
I'd appreciate it if you could post the link to a step-by-step guide I can follow.

Thanks.
Ege.

I can think about two:

postfix and qmail

postfix: http://www.postfix.org/MYSQL_README.html
qmail: I think helios qmail is easy to implement, since it is all packaged:
http://freshmeat.net/projects/helios-qmail/

but there are many howto's out there for this

how about the web based admin page requirement?

Gabriel Orozco

well... there are many programs that do admin for these two. you can try

webmin

but just look for

qmail mysql
or
postfix mysql

on http://www.freshmeat.net

there you'll find *everything* you want for linux =)

Use sendmail as MTA and MYSQL backend use http://sourceforge.net/projects/sendmail-sql/

For web admin use webmin : http://www.webmin.com

very easy interface for linux admin

but these are all scattered and I don't have much experience with linux..
is there a step by step guide that explains this all?

Nice Link Redimido, I have been using sendmail with virtual hosting as my mailserver for the past 3 years or so, I am ready to try something different (was looking at zimbra, open xchange etc..) I may give Qmail another shot...
