Ubuntu + Postfix

So I researched a little bit about setting up an email server. I at least got something going, as I could send email out. However, I am still using my ISP's server as a relay host, as they block port 25.

On Ubuntu, I set up Postfix by following the documentation.

Then, to use a relay host, I simply went into /etc/postfix/main.cf and entered the server's address into the relayhost variable.

A quick reload of the Postfix server:

>sudo /etc/init.d/postfix reload

and all was right with the world.

To set up POP3 and IMAP, take a look at the following documentation.

Enjoy!
