Running an Email Server

  • Mail Transport/Transfer Agents (MTAs) - send messages between servers (required)
  • Mail Delivery Agents (MDAs) - store messages in the recipient's mailbox (required)
  • Mail User Agents (MUA) - software for reading messages

You need a domain name and appropriate MX records in your DNS.

POP, IMAP and Exchange

POP works by contacting your email service and downloading all of your new messages from it. Once they are downloaded onto your PC or Mac, they are deleted from the email service.

IMAP allows you to access your email wherever you are, from any device. When you read an email message using IMAP, you aren't actually downloading or storing it on your computer; instead, you're reading it from the email service. As a result, you can check your email from different devices, anywhere in the world: your phone, a computer, a friend's computer.

Exchange offers the same syncing capabilities as IMAP, plus much more. Exchange is a Microsoft product, giving you the ability to still use Outlook as your email service and benefit from Exchange functionality.

SSL

Send from google emails on Ubuntu

Change your google account to use less secure authentication. Otherwise it won't work and you will receive an email with a subject "Critical security alert" after you try to send out an email. 

sudo apt install mailutils
sudo nano /etc/postfix/main.cf   # no account information
sudo nano /etc/postfix/sasl_passwd # contains account information
cat /etc/ssl/certs/thawte_Primary_Root_CA.pem | sudo tee -a /etc/postfix/cacert.pem
sudo chown root:root /etc/postfix/sasl_passwd /etc/postfix/sasl_passwd.db
sudo chmod 0600 /etc/postfix/sasl_passwd /etc/postfix/sasl_passwd.db
sudo apt-get install --reinstall postfix
sudo /etc/init.d/postfix restart
sudo /etc/init.d/postfix reload
echo "Test Email message body" | mail -s "Email test subject" [email protected] # works

We can actually send to other email accounts. For example, we can use mailR package to send emails in R 

send.mail(from = "[email protected]",
  to = c("[email protected]"),
  replyTo = c("[email protected]"),
  subject = "Test",
  body = "test",
  smtp = list(host.name = "smtp.gmail.com", port = 465, 
              user.name = "yourname", passwd = "XX", ssl = TRUE),
  authenticate = TRUE,
  send = TRUE)
