Slightly off topic

Post by alex.barylski »

But I am about to begin integrating SwiftMailer into a application...the only problem is...I have a system running Debian Etch default but I don't think I selected to configure an SMTP server at the time of install...so I'm guessing I have to go at it manually now...

Any SMTP will do but I think I'd like to gain some experience tinkering with Postfix...

You wouldn't care to shed some light on how I owuld go about configuring a mail server locally and the testing it by sending some emails to my hotmail account???

Any resources or anything would be appreciated as I've never done this before... 8)

Exim4. I'd be amazed if sendmail or something isn't installed though.

Code: Select all

apt-get install exim4
Choose the split configuration file when asked since it's so much easier to "drop-in" new configuration options this way.
