+2 votes
394 views

I'm working on a server and want to send out mail either from a form to email or get email address from database then send..

I'm using PHP mail(), currently the mail send out fine with simple PHP mail() but do I need to us PHP mail() and some kind of SMTP Authentication to lock it down?

PHPMailer or some better way? do I need to install something like this on the server?

https://github.com/PHPMailer/PHPMailer

If so what's best with PHP mail() ? or is there some more modern way to lock it down...

What do you mean by locking it down? Do you mean to prevent it being used in a spam relay?

How to calculate mail storage/traffic used on Linux server?

We have to setup a server which gets a copy of all messages send and received by our mailserver as a 1:1 copy. Mails send to multiple recipients should be calculated and saved per user. (great if you usually have lost of mails send to groups of people.)

So no duplication should be used here. (e.g. save the message and refer the different recipients to it.)

How can I calculate the current traffic in the best way to extrapolate the amount of space to be planed for the new server?

Any ideas on updating contact pictures in mac mail using a plugin?

There is plugin called Face2Face that does pretty much this using Facebook, gravatar... but it doesn't let you specify a custom URL or image source.
