I'm considering switching our mail server from a pay-for windows system 
to tinysofa. Are people out there fairly happy with the spam- and virus- 
stopping abilities of using tinysofa?

Is there a preferred webmail server in Tinysofa?

John,

I wrote the original HowTo's on using Postfix, and spamAssassin on the 
Website:

http://www.tinysofa.org/documentation/index.cgi?PostfixAndCyrusImap
http://www.tinysofa.org/documentation/index.cgi?VirusAndSpamFiltering

This worked fairly well in rejecting Spam,  but I was not very flexible with
custom configuration.  And user or domain level configuration was nearly
out of the picture.

Ive now switched to outsourcing all email for my dozen domains,  as the
the management is much easier.  Especially adding individual whitelist 
or blacklist
entries, and handling SPAM/HAM Baysian training by individual users or 
domain
owners.

I'm reselling services starting at $20/domain for IMAP/SSL and SMTP/SSL
with Sophos Antivirus/SpamAssassin and detailed MX pre-filtering.
Contact me off-list for details.

For what it's worth, I switched to Exim on a SuSE distribution a few 
years ago, then continued with Exim when I moved to Tinysofa.  I came 
via Sendmail then Postfix.  Exim was by far the easiest system to configure.

But as another user has replied, I then moved to an email system managed 
by my ISP.  It's more robust and much less hassle for me.  I can leave 
them to worry about spam and virus filtering - they have far more users 
barking at them and providing feedback than I do.

:-)

Is the best way to use tinysofa as a fileserver or a mailserver in a 
windows domain to point the login to the ldap server on the domain 
controller? If I've not done that during installation, what's the best 
way to do it?
