Postfix, being an open-source MTA (mail transfer agent), has gained a lot of attention after Sendmail. The functionality of both is the same — they are used to route and deliver emails.
Postfix is a free and open-source mail transfer agent (MTA) that routes and delivers email. This is required in order to be able to send emails from a local machine (without using any vendor’s client).
Postfix has to be configured. The suggested way to do that is via: sudo dpkg-reconfigure postfix
. You can also directly edit your /etc/postfix/main.cf
file and make changes to the configuration. For most purposes, dpkg-reconfigure
should suffice.
