<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Hi again Cyrus list,<br>
<br>
still trying to find a definitive resource to use to get this mail
server up and running. Does anyone know of a good howto for
setting up Debian/Exim/Cyrus? I think this is the combination I
want to move from the Centos/Exim/Dovecote box I inherited but I
must confess to really struggling here.<br>
<br>
It seems there are lots of different variations on the set up,
what config files are used for different distros and even versions
of Debian. I'm not finding consistency between what I am seeing on
my system and the things the guides I'm using are suggesting I
should see.<br>
<br>
I appreciate that setting up such a mail server does require
significant knowledge, more of which I hope to acquire through
this project. I am surprised however at the difficulty I am
experiencing here. I would be more than happy to get this started
with a simple config and spend more time building a better server
down the road if anyone can point me in the right direction for a
good guide/howto.<br>
<br>
Maybe I've bitten off more than I can chew with Exim/Cyrus.
Surely it should be possible to set such a mail server up in a day
or so?<br>
<br>
Hoping to find a bone here... :-(<br>

<div text="#000000" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"> Hi all,<br>
<br>
I am replacing a mail server and want to implement an
Exim/Cyrus solution. Most specifically it is Cyrus and
the ACLs that I want. I have not set up a mail server in
more than 10 years and many things have changed. <br>
<br>
What do the users of this list consider the best Linux
distro for simple set up and maintenance of an
Exim/Cyrus-imap mail server? I was leaning towards Debian
simply because I use it on other hosts.<br>
<br>
I seem to be having trouble finding a good howto to set
this up using repositories rather than compiling.<br>
<br>
Any suggestions?<br>
