Running a relay SMTP server (Newbie here)


Hello! I am quite new to linux world.

I ran a Slackware server.

I'd like to set up, on it, a server that can act as relay but just for a finite set of email addresses. Plus.. I'd like it to be reached from the outside (not just from localhost).

I've no problems with firewall (everything is set up fine) so I just have to configure an SMTP selective relay server. I guess I can do it with sendmail... however it seems pretty hard (for me at least) to setup.

Can anyone help?

Thanks in advance!

You might want to consider looking at qmail, which has a much simpler (if not necessarily intuitive) configuration.
You may also be able to use port forwarding instead, if you're just forwarding mail onto another server which already has the config set up.

Port forwarding is not good for me.. cause I'd like to relay only a certain number of email addresses.
With port forward I can just put filters on IP.

I'll take a look to qmail. Thanks!
