Mail relaying made simple with Postfix
Have you installed the Postfix as an easier to use, more secure alternative to Sendmail only to find yourself having trouble with the old “unable to relay†errors? This can be very frustrating and have you pulling out your hair in no time.
MTAs (Mail Transfer Agents) can be a tricky lot to set up. Add in to the mix something like relaying and you have all the ingredients for an installation NOT working. Fortunately Postfix isn't nearly as complicated as Sendmail, so relaying isn't something you need guru-level access to solve. In this tutorial I am going to show you how to set up Postfix for easy relaying. You can always add this to the Ubuntu Server series that started with the article “Installing Ubuntu Server 9.04“.
