Simple mail server for sending mail only

I used Google App for my email and it’s working great. The problem is I used a VPS and I need to send email on my system. I can configure to send email via google smtp. But somehow google stops to sending email when my system send email every 5 minutes. And sometimes Gooogle delays to delivery emails too.

Finally I decided to install a mail server for my own using. All I need is mail sending only. Receiving email is taken care by google app.

I used Arch Linux. All I need is to configure postfix, IMHO Postfix configuration is so complex to understand all of its aspects. Luckily we just want to send email so it should be simple ;) 

pacman -S postfix

Next, open /etc/postfix/main.cf, add these value (change to your own domain):

myhostname = www.axcoto.com
myorigin = axcoto.com

Add postfix daemon to DAEMON in /etc/rc.conf.

DAEMONS=(syslog-ng !network netfs crond dbus @alsa wicd  httpd mysqld vsftpd postgresql !hwclock ntpd <strong>postfix</strong>)

That’s all for sending email ;) . Please don’t ask more about Postfix ;) . I don’t know haha. This is just I got to sent out email ;) .
