Hi Ben,<br><br>I've been reading about postfix for years.<br><br>My concern is messing up a vps server .... this is for leaning mostly so I guess I give it a try.  <br><br>The last Linux I used was Debian Patato.&nbsp; I was familiar with apt-get and how to determine which package to get.&nbsp; I would go to the Debian website where they listed all the packages.<br><br>I'm aware of exim, postfix,qmail, and sendmail.&nbsp; I hear exim is good but not widely used.&nbsp; Qmail is reportedly difficult to configure.&nbsp;&nbsp; Evey one says to avoid sendmail.&nbsp;&nbsp; I've also read that sendmail is not all that efficient.&nbsp; I have read good things about postfix over the years.&nbsp; I think postfix will be my next stop.<br><br>I'm not sure how to find the yum command to uninstall sendmail and what&nbsp; package would install PostFix.&nbsp; - I'll start by checking with google....<br><br>Where can I go to look up the packages on Fedora Core 5?<br><br>Any suggestions on a
 pop3 server?<br><br>And I'm still not clear on setting up an email account.&nbsp; Is that handled through the pop3 server?<br><br>I saw port 587 was used in sendmail also.&nbsp; Is that a standard alternative to port 25?<br><br>Thanks a bunch for all your help,<br>Keith<br> <br><br><br><b><i>Empty &lt;plug@emptiedout.com&gt;</i></b> wrote:<blockquote class="replbq" style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255); margin-left: 5px; padding-left: 5px;"> keith smith wrote:<br>&gt; I'm trying to configure sendmail 8.13 on Fedora Core  5.
