Subscribe to RSS feedInstalling a local mailserver would have an amount of advantages and besides that it’s pretty cool. I could poll all my countless pop3 accounts and manage them all from 1 box. Ofcourse I could then simply create mail accounts for my wife, my son and my cat and I would have 2 terabyte room for mail (if would throw away all other stuff and ditched RAID1).
Installing a local mailserver with Xmail 1/1,706 on the NAS box is as simple as running the IPKG install:
CubeStation> ipkg install xmail
Installing xmail (1.22-3) to root…
Downloading http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/optware/syno-x07/cross/unstable/xmail_1.22-3_arm.ipk Submit
Configuring xmail
Successfully terminated.
And then configure the rest as described here Submit, however, after installing this, the box will not go to hibernation mode anymore, so I decided to not install a local mailserver on my box. One of the reasons I use this box is that it will save energy when it’s not in use and a constant polling mailserver somehow terminates that, so….
CubeStation> ipkg remove xmail
Removing package xmail from root…
Stopping XMail server: XMail.
Successfully terminated.
However, if this issue is solved in the future I might try it again.
