Email Server
For a bloody long time I have been wanting to get my own mail server that I have 100% control of set up. None of the guides I followed were any use to me. A couple of weeks ago, Pig Monkey wrote a series of guides on configuring a web and email server. His guide on email setup seemed to explain the process better so I gave it a shot.
Short story is I now have a functioning web server, w00t! Bad news is that due to my ip address, some email servers won’t accept mail from me and I need to make use of some form of relay that will be accepted. The crappy news is that most of the free relays I could use would also be in use by spammers and they would get blackholed pretty quickly. I could pay for a relay service but I am a cheapskate. Seems I’m gonna be stuck with 3rd party email services for the near future. At least now I know what to do.
Glad I could be of some assistance. Are you hosting the mail server on a home computer, then?
I was gonna try that but due to my dynamic IP address I suspect many servers won’t accept my mail which is a bit of a shame. I’m using Google to host my email for now, works pretty well in the meantime.
