Discussion

Postfix is a free, open-source mail transfer agent (MTA) that sends and receives emails. It is a server-side application that can be used to set up a local mail server, create a null-client mail relay, use a Postfix server as a destination for multiple domains, or choose an LDAP directory instead of files for lookups. Postfix supports protocols such as LDAP, SMTP AUTH (SASL), and TLS. It uses the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) to transfer emails between servers.
