My experiments with MBSE have come to an end, and I'm pretty sure I'm going to
run with SBBS under Linux.
I know it has an extremely robust number of servers already out there - including SMTP/POP3/IMAP for email.
Is it possible to have SBBS interface with my own self-hosted email server as much as possible? I've got postfix & dovecot running along pretty smoothly along with a pretty nice webmail interface I'd like to offer to validated users
but that'd require them having accounts on the server itself.
I know this is a pretty loaded question -- there's a *lot* that would be involved but I wanted to start getting some ideas as to what I can do.
it may take some work, but you can have SBBS run on non-standard ports,
and forward your inbound postfix to SBBS on a given domain, etc. Though
most will use dedicated Synchronet.
It's easy enough to relay Synchronet's outbound SMTP through another
server as well. I don't think Sync supports domainkeys or other message signing support, so delivery is usually the biggest issue in practice, relaying through a well-known service could help as well.
