What is the best MTA setup for a home/laptop computer (*not* server)?
- by thomasrutter
Hello,
What is a good MTA (e.g. Postfix or something else) setup for a home computer behind a NAT, or a laptop that is not always online?
I've read a lot of Postfix tutorials on how to set it up this way or that, but they are usually geared towards computers that are servers ie they
have a static IP
have a domain name
are always connected to the same network
My requirements are, I guess:
Ability to redirect mail for local users to another server of my choosing.
No listening for incoming SMTP connections - outgoing only
Ability to route outgoing mail via an external SMTP server with authentication (and perhaps encryption)
If not Postfix, I need an MTA which can queue up mails in case it temporarily has no internet connection.
