I have a home server which needs a mail server for error messages, mostly.
I used postfix but I find the features/complexity compromises not optimal for my home server: there are tens of lines to check/configure, stunnel to install for TLS, ...
What simpler mail server with TLS support can I use, that is also packaged by Canonical? I'm going to only use an external relay server provided by my provider.
What is the difference between the mail-server^ task and the mail-stack-delivery package?
i have a linode account and trying to setup an email server where i can send and receive email from my registered domain.
i typed this into shell: sudo tasksel install mail-server
but what is the next step?
Right now my Helo Address = localhost (helo=localhost). Is it better to set this to my server's domain name? If so, how do I change it? I'm running Ubuntu 12.04 and Postfix. Thanks.
I'm getting the following error from my Ubuntu server:
exim paniclog /var/log/exim4/paniclog on (my server FQDN) has non-zero size, mail system might be broken.
I found a solution on the web here. Basically, I just need erase the paniclog by entering the following code:
sudo rm /var/log/exim4/paniclog
So, I know how to get rid of the error, but I don't know how it started, and how to not let it happen again. Any explanation? Thanks in advance.
