Ok guys, my lack of knowledge is by now pretty commonly known (I flaunt =
it enough), and normally I'd prefer to look stuff up for myself and try =
to figure it out, but now I'm in a bit of a bind.
In short I have an ISP who generally is reliable, but their mail server =
is not. I've been asked to set up 3 new accounts, and change two, and =
I'm tired of outages with the ISP's System. So I want to put in my own =
in house mail server. I've taken a quick look and "e-smith" looks more =
or less like what I want... easy to set up and maintain (or so they =
claim) and I can always fall back to a Mac solution until I actually get =
it up and running. So my question is this... what do I REALLY have to =
do to direct mail for my companies domain (dreamcolor.com) into my =
server? Is it really as simple as calling my provider and telling them =
what IP address to send it to? What else do I need to know? I hate to =
put requests like this out there, but I only have about 24 hours to have =
a system up and running. Any help would be appreciated... but if it =
gets too technical I'm libel to tilt my head from side to side like some =
poor mutt while I read it.
Thanks in advance guys,
Tom
