What's wrong with Postfix? Sure, configuring it takes a little work, but it's not hard, especially not by comparison with Sendmail, which was the standard everywhere when I began my career.
- _delirium 12y agoI didn't even find configuring Postfix to take much work, and I'd never configured a mailserver until a few months ago. Debian's config script autogenerated a basic configuration for me, after prompting with a few questions: receive email for my domain to my unix account, and relay mail only from local or AUTH'd clients. This is the entirety of the manual config I added on top of what Debian produced: # use maildir instead of mbox home_mailbox = Maildir/ # reject obvious spam smtpd_client_restrictions = permit_mynetworks, permit_sasl_authenticated, reject_unknown_client_hostname, reject_rbl_client zen.spamhaus.org It has a very nice manual too, but I have not had to use most of it, because it just works out of the box.
