opensmptd (which seems a) to have a simple config and b) is a new implementation). Though you then still need Dovecot or co. for mailboxes (unless you prefer SSH for that).
Disclaimer: just reading about opensmtp, I'm using postfix
- tannhaeuser 7y agoDovecot is an IMAP server while exim, sendmail, postfix, and opensmtp (I guess) are SMTP servers (aka MTAs). An SMTP server is for sending/forwarding mails to or through, and IMAP (or POP3 or new-fangled jmap, supposedly) is what your mail program uses to browse your received mails and mailboxes etc.
- fock 7y agoI'm well aware of this distinction, yet it's also part of the equation when looking at "how to secure my email-server"
