I am in the learning stage for linux and have RH 7.1 . Have 2 questions :
1.What different antivirus softwares are available for linux ? which is the best ?why ? 2. What options are available for mail programs on linux ? postfix ? anything else ?which is better ? why ? I am looking for setting up an internal linux mail server for 50 people. No internet access required , hence no external mailing .

Well first if you are going to use it localy there will be no big security issues .. so I guess you can use sendmail.... If you want something really good I suggest qmail... but it's hard to configure. Second of all If you handle a large amount of mail's I suggest you don't install an antivirus on the mail server but talk to the eople and have them install their own antiviruses. Best of luck write me if you have problems
