Hi.

First: I never used the fax module, so I have no clue if this might be what you want.

I have been start struggling on courier documentation and realized that is it a large and complex mail server package, with a lots of configuration issues and possibilities. Try google to find a more simple setup howto - I do not find any for my situation. May be courier is not good for me?

I don't really have much experience with other MTAs, but most parts of the default configuration can be used as-is. Just because many things are possible, this does not mean that you need or want them.

The default config will do just fine for many people. Especially if you don't use incoming SMTP (and so don't have to worry about IDENT lookups, blacklist configuration, greylisting or thinks like that).

Have a look at http://www.courier-mta.org/install.html. More than half of the chapters are marked "OPTIONAL" and that is meant like that. :) The sections about configure/make/install (Everything from "Preparing for installation" up to "Post-installation checks") should be obsolete if you have packages from your distro.

Can you specify which part of the installation docs is complex if you leave out things you don't need?

regards, Bernd
