seems that postfix isn't free software:
Most major Linux distributions offer the possibility to install Postfix,
though in my experience, it is not the one installed by default. Debian
prefers to install software that's licensed under the GPL. Postfix is not (it
carries the IBM Public
It is free [0].
GPL-incompatibility is a practical issue when reusing code in other
programs. It's not a problem for running the program. The FSF uses and
recommends GPL-incompatible programs like TeX ([w]e will use TeX as our
text formatter [1]).
I use Postfix, it might be easier to configure
It's free software but incompatible with GPL.

Thanks for the links islander. I think that Postfix might be the better
choice,after reading your article, and also drtan's recommendation.
What are the mail transfer agent options, other than Postfix and Send Mail?
Is Postfix probably the best choice?
Are there any good ones that are

You may prefer Postfix rather than SendMail, for reasons discussed in this

I opened a few new pages in the Documentation to help regular users set up
their own server. I got things started by scraping together some info from
this topic.
This group of pages are at the bottom of the

I see that lembas only removed the blank pages -- fair enough; sorry about
that
Yeah, I thought that while having empty entries might help getting somebody
to write them, it's a bit of a distraction as long as the pages stay empty.
How about making a wiki page with ideas to start other wiki pages?
If we post our ideas on the forum, we discuss the ideas more easily than on a
wiki I think. On the other hand, a wiki page would be more organized. I
don't mind either way.
If blocking becomes a problem a smart host can be the only recourse.

Would the big email providers block my address even if their customer emailed
me first? Would asking others to email me frist solve this problem?
Thanks andrew
I called up a local DSL provider; they told me:
Static IP: available for a small fee
Port 80: open
Port 25: available, but must opt-in with my own router
MLPP: they have multi link point protocol ...I'm not sure what this means
Do I need any other ports to run OwnCloud?
Is opening port 25
Is opening port 25 from a router easy? I have a D-Link Dl-524 wireless
router.
Probably not, here's a guide

My experiences with blocking:
- Hotmail has no issues.
- Gmail blocks emails sent from your mail server
Hmm, I think this is a bug. For forum users:

I get this error message, for port 25, at canyouseeme.org:

Where do I start? Is the learning curve too much for someone who doesn't
have any special knowledge about computers?
Someone told me that I would need a static IP, and that most ISPs don't give
their customers those. Is that correct? Is it a problem?
I don't have a computer for it yet;
Hi muhammed!
It isn't that complicated. I was able to set up a postfix instance in one day
without any previous knowdlege. You can find good tutorials on the Postfix
help web pages.
Regarding static IP address I walked around the problem by using free dynamic
DNS service.
Dynamic DNS makes mail work with a dynamic IP for most of the time,
while mails could be misdelivered or lost when the address changes [0].
Port 25 being blocked by many ISPs and many mail providers using RBLs to
drop mail from consumer ISP users are other reasons to have a relay
with a static
I would also be very interested in how to do this, however it seems that even
if you do manage to get an e-mail server going - 90% of the internet
corporations (e.g. yahoo/gmail/hotmail) will block you as a sender with Error
