1. Configure the mail transfer agent. This can be sendmail, or
some alternative like qmail or postfix. Sendmail is configured
through the sendmail.cf file, which is usually generated by
m4 macro files. Some other files, like sendmail.cw, etc. can
also be used. Note that computers exposed to the internet need
to have relay control to avoid being hijacked by junk mailers.
2. If IMAP or POP is used to access mail (typically by Microsoft
computer users), add the appropriate daemons (e.g. UW imapd or
Cyrus for IMAP).

1. Secure transport between mail server and pop client (via another mail server)
Let's take a look at this scenario:
I have two mail accounts, one on academic Unix server A and second
at my office - Unix server B. And there is also Win95/NT PC on my desk.
Practicaly I use Internet only from my PC. There is proxy gateway for
http and ftp outbound connections. No pops, telnets and other services
outside the office. You know - security.
And, let's assume, all inbound mail is CCopied to my boss.
And where is the problem?
I want to have all my private mail (sent to my academic account)
on my desk - Internet Mail, Pegasus or sth like that.
Forwarding mail from one account to the other does not provide security.
My office Unix server is "untrusted", so all forwarded mail should
arrive encoded. And decoding should be done by my pop3 client, just on
my desk.
So, some procmail action should be taken at Server A to encode (by pgp?)
and forward mail. And some automatical decoding at my desk.
Any help?
Any URL, sample conf and tips?
