My system is running under Linux SuSE 7.1 with firewall, masquerading
and ISDN-dial-up connection (nothing of that will be described
below). It was a quite lot of work to get all
components accordingly running for doing the job they are intended to
do.
First of all, lets have a look at the big picture -- the real thing
and my requirements are:
- I have several E-Mail accounts at different providers with different
access behaviours.
- I am a subscriber of multiple mailing-list and want
to sort this traffic out of common E-Mailing.
- I want to assure only using one Mail-User-Agent
during daily work, managing all different mail-accounts.
- I want to use a MUA doing some PGP-stuff automatically.
In short, I want to receive mails from different E-Mail providers,
manage the mail within one application and send out mails via
different providers. Especially the last point is under LINUX a
big obstacle, because of being a native server system it seems to be
no way to go outside with different faces.
Solving this leads me towards the following bunch of applications
building my working environment:
- Mail-Transport-Agent (MTA) MasqMail
- Mail-User-Agent (MUA) mutt
- Mail-Delivery-Agent procmail
