vmail

Now we have the vmail server! This changes the way e-mail works for the final time for now. This also finishes the server group on main1. This is the first pass of all those servers.

vmail is: The Virutal Mail Server

vmail provides outside access to e-mail. It can work with standard e-mail in some of the following ways, possibly plus more.

• Be linked as the only outside account. In this way, we can provide e-mail for the user all in-house..
• Be linked as another outside account. When this is the case, we essentially have an alias for a user account. A user could give one away to more trusted people, and only share the other with untrusted people that they need to communicate with.
• Function independently. A user could have just the outside account provided in house. This would then allow them to use it such as they use gmail.

There are these ways, and possibly more ways to use this service.
