Re: SMTP server

Thanks. I am newbie in Mail Servers. I thought that postfix is usually used to set up a pop3 server and therefore a domain should be set up using bind. Is it possible to just use it as SMTP server for simple outgoing mails?

Hi all,

I am looking for a SMTP server program to install on Debian. The
reason is that we have to send lots of emails (news letters and not
spams) to list of our users, but our web hosting SMTP server has a
limit like all others to prevent sending spams. So, I think the
problem can be solved by having my own SMTP server. There are many
SMTP servers available on Windows. I am sure better product is also
available for Linux too.

Thanks,
    

Personally I prefer postfix. Very easy to setup and very powerful.
Other alternatives are exim, courier, ...

Andrei
