An anonymous reader writes: I currently use Outlook to retrieve all my e-mail, and store it in a single PST file on a dedicated drive, which is backed up nightly to a DVD. I am interested in creating some sort of (virtual) linux based 'e-mail appliance', so I can apply better spam control methods, and provide a web interface to the mail services. I want it to be able to get the e-mail from multiple pop accounts (since my ISP blocks SMTP), and store it locally on the appliance. I also would like to import my existing e-mail which currently resides in a PST file.
I assume I have to glue several solutions together, so I am hoping the Slashdot community can tell me what kind of setup they have, or point me into the right direction. Eventually, I want it to be a virtual appliance, so I don't have to waste a dedicated machine for this project (I would shut it down at night, allowing me to back up the virtual appliance).
