Ask your administrator if you think this is wrong. ====== Forwarding Email Setup ====== Assuming you already have a full email server (either hosted by you or you are using some third party service), you will need your **internal** server (the home server) to be able to send emails. This is true even if you host your email server, because as i say [[email:start|here]], you cannot self-host a real email server on your home server. The following must be performed on your internal server. The Gentoo default **mail-mta/nullmailer** package is more than enough. It should be already installed, otherwise emerge it: <code bash> emerge mail-mta/nullmailer </code> ===== Configuration ===== I assume you already have a mail domain somewhere linked to your **@mydomain.com**, and you have your own address as **myself@mydomain.com** and you created a specific mailbox called **home@mydomain.com** to manage any email sent from services. All the following files need to be under **/etc/nullmailer**: <file - adminaddr> myself@mydomain.com </file> <file - defaultdomain> mydomain.com </file> <file - defaulthost> mail </file> <file - me> mail </file> <file - remotes> mail.mydomain.com smtp port=587 user=home@mydomain.com pass=**** starttls </file> ===== Usage ===== Try it from the command line: <code bash> (echo "Subject: test email"; echo "Hi! my nullmailer works...") | sendmail -F "Me Myself" -f myself@mydomain.com destination@otherdomain.de </code>
