Need Quick & Dirty Mail Server Install on Ubuntu
Posted: Sat Sep 06, 2008 1:31 pm
I have Ubuntu workstation Hardy Heron 8.04. I was using Hula as my mail server for doing PHP mail testing, but it had a fault in that it would stop working every time I rebooted (and would fail to start without reinstallation!) and also had a fault where Hardy Heron doesn't come with it in its package list.
I just need a quick and dirty mail server that I can fire up with the least amount of valuable brain cells (because they're focused on my PHP code right now) and where I can test sending and then see that the mail was received properly. It doesn't need all the other bells and whistles, and if there's something even at command line I can use to cat out the output to see that the mail arrived, then that can work too.
So, what do you recommend that's super easy?
And no, I don't want to use Gmail. I mean, I may end up hitting this mail server over and over again as I test a contact form, and I don't want to get banned by Google.
