[sllug-members]: Mail server question

[Spute, Mark K at CSW-SLC]

I currently have a mail server running sendmail without procmail or spamassasin, and I get about 500 spam messages per day.  I want to use spamassasin to cut down on the spam, but at the same time, since I'm messing with the system, I'd like to add the capacity to access my e-mail via the internet from other locations.  As I mentioned, I'm running sendmail as my POP3 server, and using thunderbird to access it.

If I switch to dovecot can I get rid of sendmail?  Dovecot claims to be both a POP3 and an IMAP server.

What would be the best way to transition?  ie-

1.  remove sendmail
2.  Install and configure dovecot
3.  Install and configure procmail
4.  Install and configure spamassasin
5.  Massage until they all work together

Or is another order better.

Thanks for your help.

Mark
