One of the things that has plagued my server configuration at home has been my inability to get a mail daemon working. It isn’t that I need a full featured service running so that I can act as a host, it’s more that I want to be able to send mail from the websites I host–password recovery, site updates, and all that. Six months into hosting my own site out of the house and I am still unable to send mail so I’m hopeful that the Howto Forge, ISP-Server Setup - Ubuntu 5.0.4, will help me out. Granted my box is already built and deployed but maybe it will give me enough insight on who to retrofit a mail service and ensure that it is operational.
