If you want to host your own email server you would need: 1 - a system with a static IP and reasonable connectivity 2 - a DNS name (MX record, reverse, possibly spf, ...) 3 - a MTA (postfix, exim, ...) 4 - and your mail client MUA (mutt, thunderbird, ...) If you want to experiment first, find a spare computer or set up a container - that doesn't have to be on the proper internet yet. Then do the following to achieve points 3 and 4: su apt-get install postfix mutt vim /etc/postfix/main.cf adduser a adduser b su - a mutt b exit tail /var/log/mail.log su - b mutt The line editing main.cf is a large topic, but postfix has pretty substantial documentation, and the distribution defaults should get you going too... Once that is set up you could try using multiple computers on a lan, or move on to points 1 and 2. regards marc _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
