Mail Service

Mac OS X Server provides an enterprise-capable mail server, which supports the SMTP, POP, and IMAP protocols, allowing you to select a local or server-based mail storage solution for server users.

Outgoing mail (SMTP) has these features:

The SMTP mail transfer agent is based on Postfix. For complete information about this open-source agent, see www.postfix.org/.

Authentication using the following methods is available: PLAIN, LOGIN, CRAM-MD5, and Kerberos v5.

Incoming mail (POP and IMAP) highlights include these:

The mail access agent is a Cyrus POP and IMAP server. See asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/ for information about this agent.

Authentication supported for IMAP is clear text, PLAIN, LOGIN, CRAM-MD5, and Kerberos v5. POP authentication options are clear text, APOP, and Kerberos v5.

The mail database is extremely fast.

Vacation rules and quotas for individual users are available.

Mailman is used to create and maintain mailing lists.

Mac OS X Server also supports SquirrelMail for web-based mail retrieval. For information about SquirrelMail, see www.squirrelmail.org.

The mail service administration guide tells you how to set up and manage mail service. The web technologies administration guide describes how to enable WebMail, the server’s implementation of SquirrelMail.
