Email is a very important application, one of the most useful on current networks. Quicker and less expensive than most other communication means (fax, phone, postal mail, courier...), email is a more and more important vector of internal and external communication. In the TCP/IP networks world, SMTP is far the most used mail service, notably with the Unix tool sendmail.

The free software Postfix is a mail manager which is simple to configure and was conceived for optimal security. Furthermore, it requires little system resources and thus represents a real alternative to sendmail. Choosing postfix is justified both for large and small needs.

The aim of this course is to prepare the installation and operation of Postfix, in a typical environment, along with a simple anti-spam filtering solution (SpamAssassin and blacklists).

1 day.

Raphael Marichez

This practical and technical course is meant for system administrators and mail server administrators.
Prior knowledge of Unix systems administration and TCP/IP networks is necessary.
Pepople who have only the knowledge of graphical user interface of Lotus Notes or Microsoft Exchange will not have the necessary knowledge expertise.

Lecture, with numerous examples of practical applications.
