- A common problem is the proliferation of email accounts over time. This is a particularly vexing issue if you have used an email address for a period of years and a number of people know that address and for some reason you lose access to that provider. This is one of the primary reasons for running your own mail server under your own domain. The problem is how do you wean your contacts off of your old address onto the new?
- Squirrelmail is one decent solution, Sean and I used it in the past and it worked well and was easy to set up. However, roundcube is a little nicer interface and a bit easier to use.
- Spamassassin and other software solutions are available, but we have not really tried to use any of them due to the clever forwarding scheme that Sean came up with to use a combination of mail aliases and forwarding capabilities of our domain name provider.
- Touch wood, but we've not been forced to investigate AV solutions such as ClamAV.
