Mail server for AmigaOS 3+ ?

Hi guys,

I've searched high and low and can't seem to find an answer to my question. Hopefully someone here will be able to help.

I'm interested in using an old A2000/x40 as a mail server, with SMTP and pop and/or IMAP. Is there anything around for AOS 3+ ?

I have seen that there is a version of apache floating around, which makes me thing that there'd be a sendmail/postfix equivalent...?

Any takers?

thanks

Perhaps a port of qmail?

The actual software doesn't bother me, as long as it provides the necessary service.

I can't seem to find a port of qmail for AOS classic either. I doubt that I'd have the skill to perform a port of qmail, sendmail, courier, postfix or any of the various flavours of mail services around (or certainly not within a useful timeframe, anyway).

I'd be prepared to run Linux or AmigaBSD and do it that way in a pinch, but I'd rather do it under 3.5 or similar.

My chances don't seem goo though.


... (this is where i pause for someone to jump in and point me to the AOS Classic packages) ...


thanks in advance

With that 040 (it its a full 040), CPU I would probably go:

http://www.debian.org/ports/m68k/

Much better I would think for a a more robust mail server.

Indeed I have running a SMTP daemon on my 030 (and now 040) 2000s for quite a long time. Configuration was not THAT straightforward but it worked for some years. It is the "AmigaSMTPd v0.69" and "SMTPpost v.104" by M.B. Smith - it should be one of those packages already mentioned.

Thanks @jabirulo and @cha05e90, not sure why i didn't search for smtpd... duh.

Oh i just realised those daemons won't support SSL/TLS... mmm, that does change things a little...

I really did want to use AmigaOS for the nostalgia factor, but Debian seems a much easier solution.. All the guff is running on a Linux server atm, but when I saw there's apache for Amiga I thought I might use some of my old hardware for a giggle. Am I mad?

Do you think POP3/IMAP/SMTP & Apache all running on a 2000/40 would be too much? It's got about 32-36MB of RAM.

Thanks again guys.
