The following HOWTO is provided for the installation of an email server. POP3, POP3 over ssl, IMAP4, and IMAP4 over ssl are the different service configurations in this document. Mail transport is done using SMTP. The authentication for the roaming use of SMTP is taken care of through a preauthorization check done when one authenticates via IMAP4 or POP3. It is assumed that for the purposes of the installation, one is using a current version of FreeBSD.
(Translators note: The translation of this document is more of a "recreation" of the original, not a true translation. It would have taken me much more time to use the exact language structure that Oliver Lehman has used, and I decided that the better purpose of this document would be to give non-German speaking peoples the opportunity to take a look at this wonderful HOWTO in English. So, this is a Steve-ization of Oliver's original writings and I offer my apologies where I have butchered his original document. I only hope to make this thorough and as close as possible to his original, but offer no promises ;) . I will also offer some personal notes, as I have found some issues with the setup of some services. Those notes will be in itallics and enclosed by [ ] brackets.)
This HOWTO was written with great care, however, there may be errors in the following document. I cannot be responsible for erroneous directions and their results and will not be held to any judicial proceedings. I am thankful for any suggestions or corrections.
