The goal is to set up a Linux server supporting the following internet services:

FTP	only needed to transfer software updates	optional
TELNET	only needed for administrative access	optional
SMTP	needed for sending emails	mandatory
DNS	needed for SMTP name resolution	mandatory
HTTP	only needed for documentation	optional
POP3	needed for picking up email (either pop3 or imap)	mandatory
IMAP4	needed for picking up email (either imap or pop3)	mandatory
LDAP	needed for email resolution	optional

   
Clients will be able to send and receive emails with this server. With ldap names can be automatically resolved to email addresses, if the email client supports this feature. Imap enabled clients can use all the functionality that imap supports, such as leaving their mails on the server and having multiple folders.
