Thanks Desmondo, I'll check it out.
I've got apache installed and I've just been reading on the modules etc - I really only want to host piccies etc for the family in Oz so they know what we're up to ...
But then these things get legs ... and you end up doing all sorts of crud with them I suppose ...
Can anyone recommend an E-Mail server to run at home? I was thinking of buying a domain name and having an MX record to call my own
I've got a copy of merak mail server at the moment but I don't know anything about it ...
I could get a copy of Exchange though (seeing as I do Exchange design ....) after working with MS products for 8 years or so I was kind of planning on avoiding them ...

It just drives me nuts that a 180Gb drive costs about the same as fun size kit kat, but the same space for web-hosting costs more than 5-bed house in Mayfair. Cheers for the info. I'll know where to come when I need a firewall setting up |
Yeah I know, I've just rebuilt mine at home (hence the renewed enthusiasm for all things geeky) and put a new 120GB drive in it (2x60GB in a RAID 1 hosting the OS and app installations so I don't have to rebuild it again next time a disk decides to pack it in and a 120GB disk for everything else ..) for £57
