SMTP May Not Be Necessary
July 21, 2005 Posted by KP
Postfix has been running on my servers for a few months, but I haven’t been able to make SMTP Auth work, as a result, I can’t send emails from my desktop. Finally I decided to finish the configuration by following the tutorial on postfix.org. But unfortunately, it didn’t work after the first try. Then, a simple idea came out: why not try other SMTP servers instead of configuring mine? The SMTP server (exim) on my VPS relays any outbound emails after authentication.
I really should have thought of this earlier, although it’s just a very simple trick, I think it’s even a better solution…well, in my case.
