Does anyone on this list have experience running a minimal MTA? What other options/software should I be looking at? Any other insights, suggestions or insights?
I run postfix on all of my vmware VMs with this minimal config:
/etc/postfix/main.cf - queue_directory = /var/spool/postfix command_directory = /usr/sbin daemon_directory = /usr/libexec/postfix mail_owner = postfix inet_interfaces = 127.0.0.1 recipient_delimiter = _ setgid_group = postdrop relayhost = (my relay host)
If you wanted it smaller I just tested it with this config and it still works: mail_owner = postfix inet_interfaces = 127.0.0.1 setgid_group = postdrop relayhost = (my relay host)
Could probably reduce it further..
I do re-route mail destined for accounts like root to a different account on a remote system, which is configured in the aliases file.
