Lightweight Mail Server

[arachnoid]

Hi guys,

It's been a while since my last post but I've just installed Debian on an NSLU2 and i'm looking for some advice about setting up a mail server on this little baby.

I'm hoping to get Squirrel Mail setup at some point so i'd like to have IMAP and POP3 available aswell as SMTP while using as little RAM as possible.

Has anyone else had a play with one of these slugs?

the problem i have here is that the NSLU2 is a NAS device that has a debian installer provided by the OSS community.

http://www.cyrius.com/debian/nslu2/
has some info about the install and a picture of the device.

Unfortunately I have no idea how i would go about installing slackware on the little thing

I've already recompiled to leave out initramfs and that seemed to produce a performance boost. I haven't had so much entertainment since I built LFS on my desktop a few years ago.

I'm seriously considering getting the soldering iron out and adding some ram to the thing. I found some suitable PC100 ram sticks in my parts drawer last night so the only remaining component I require is a bit of courage(and maybe a CC for a replacement if it all goes wrong).

Anyone else got some mail server suggestions?

Thanks

I've got a NSLU2 'Slug' and I love it.
Mine runs Samba and I host my own website (using lighttpd) on it too.

I've got Samba running so i have an always on source of music at home. I've got mySQL running on it as I'm currently developing a project that uses a mySQL DB. It's also running subversion so I have source control at home.

I'm looking to set one up at a friends house as he likes the look of it and we're thinking of setting up cron jobs to encrypt important data (CVS / Documents etc) and store it on the others Slug as a backup.

Have you considered doing the RAM / Flash upgrades?
