Now that Yahoo has decided to charge for POP3 access to email, I’m becoming more serious about using my public server as an email server. Up until now I’ve only beeen using it as a forwarder for my domain, to get mail to my “real” address, which has typically been a Yahoo address or some other place easily abandoned for spam control. I could just switch to another free service, but that’s not the point. Having my own domain should really mean that I have more control over my email. So now I’m using Postfix as my SMTP server. Not that it’s particularly better than Sendmail or Qmail, but it’s what came with my Mandrake distribution! Not that I’ll push the envelope on any of these programs with my email needs. It sure is nice to have unlimited aliases though.
