can U suggest free mail server program for RedHat 7.

I'll install it to handle virtualhosting.
it should have the features that handle the client domain ie..

user1@clientdomainA.com
user2@clientdomainA.com

and

xx1@clientdomainB.net
yy2@clientdomainB.net and so on..

Does RedHat 7 can handle multiple domaine email like this?

thanks

Hello,

try qmail http://qmail.area.com/top.html

and to be able to host sites , you need an http server like Apache http://httpd.apache.org

I started using qmail a couple of months ago, and I found it to be a tangled mess to configure when I wanted to do anything besides basic stuff with it (recomplies required to change basic configuration parameters, stagnant source with lots of patches required, etc.). Plus, qmail's author seems to feel the need to rewrite many unix utilities in order to get qmail to work properly. xinetd works fine for me, I see no need to replace it with other software in order to obtain a supported installation of qmail.

I did some further exploring and I am now using Postfix (http://www.postfix.com). It is FAST (faster than qmail in my testing), secure and efficient. And the configuration is all in a config file /etc/postfix/main.cf, not spread all over the hard disk in odd directories.

If I install Postfix, will I need to install sendmail in order to support all those scripts that "require" sendmail support?

Postfix provides sendmail compatibility. I have not had any problems with it, but as always, your mileage may vary.

Here is some more info: http://www.postfix.com/sendmail.1.html

I have found the postfix support via the postfix mailling list to be excellent and more tolerant of newbies than the qmail mailing list. :) If you're curious, http://www.postfix.com/lists.html

I have said this before and I will say it again

Qmail+vpopmail(mysql support)+qmail-smtp-auth= :)

Honestly it was farily easy to setup. Best thing in the world. Qmail and qmail-smtp-auth can be downloaded from the qmail homepage and vpopmail from freshmeat
