Mail Part 4 Wrap Up

26 Jul 2015

The simplest way to check if everything work as expected, is to configure one of your new mail accounts in your mail client and send a mail to the test service of http://www.mail-tester.com/. If something not working there is a good chance that you find a hint in your mail log which you find there -> /var/log/mail.

I used also http://mxtoolbox.com/ which has a few nice tools to check your DNS setup and SMTP.

Many useful things are stolen and copied from these articles:

• OpenBSD Mail Server
• dkim
• OpenSMTPD, Dovecot and SpamAssassin
• Small Mail Server with Salt, Dovecot and OpenSMTPD
• BernardSpil/OpenSMTPd
• Running OpenSMTPd inside a FreeBSD Jail

Special Thanks to

• Bernard Spil @Sp1l: for the hint that sendmail_enable="NONE" is enough

This is not a part of the three part series:

• Setup smtp
• Setup dkim
• Setup imap
• wrap-up {you are here}
