OpenSMTPD is a secure mail transport agent that can be used as an alternative to traditional mail servers. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing OpenSMTPD on OpenSUSE latest.
Before installing OpenSMTPD, it is recommended to update your system by running the following command in terminal:
sudo zypper update
To install OpenSMTPD on OpenSUSE latest, run the following command in terminal:
sudo zypper install opensmtpd
This will install OpenSMTPD and all its dependencies.
After installation, OpenSMTPD needs to be configured. The main configuration file for OpenSMTPD is located at /etc/smtpd/smtpd.conf. You can edit this file using your preferred text editor.
Here is an example configuration for OpenSMTPD:
pki example.com cert "/etc/ssl/example.com.crt"
pki example.com key "/etc/ssl/example.com.key"
table vdoms { example.com }
listen on eth0 tls pki example.com
accept from any for domain vdoms relay
This configuration specifies that OpenSMTPD will listen on the eth0 interface over TLS, accepting emails from any sender and relaying them to the domain example.com. Make sure to replace example.com with your own domain name.
To start OpenSMTPD, run the following command in terminal:
sudo systemctl start smtpd
You can check the status of OpenSMTPD by running:
sudo systemctl status smtpd
This will show whether OpenSMTPD is running or not.
In this tutorial, you learned how to install and configure OpenSMTPD on OpenSUSE latest. OpenSMTPD is a lightweight and secure mail transport agent that can be used to handle your emails.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
