</span>Sorry, I run Fedora here and the idea is to have a intranet mail server.<br>
It really is helpful to get an email from the various pieces of<br>
equipment when they have problems, so yes I will invest the time and<br>
just maybe learn something.<br>
<br>
Saul - I looked at your link, but if I need to use ldap, Fedora has<br>
that pre-packaged, I'll use and learn that.<br>
<br>
Ryan - looked at your link, pretty much is what I have seen googleing<br>
around the internet myself, it does have a couple of points about<br>
some things in dovecot that I will check out.<br>
<br>
Before I added dovecot, postfix was delivering email to the super user<br>
account on the server, it's just that I would like to get everything at<br>
the workstation.<br>
<br>
As for using how-tos for Ubuntu on a Fedora machine - meh, aside from<br>
some trivial differences in installing packages, and starting-up<br>
applications at boot-up, the procedures for running the applications<br>
is mostly the same (same config files). Systemd does give you some<br>
helpful data:<br>
<br>
