Setting Up Email Server on your PC

If you setup an email server on your PC, you can easily send unlimited emails with a custom “From” address :) This is particularly helpful if you want to send emails programmatically for some reasons (I like to send unimportant emails and small attachments via Python).

To setup a mail server on Ubuntu, just install the “postfix” package:

sudo apt-get install postfix

Now you can send emails with php, python or even by typing codes on the terminal.

It was simple. Wasn’t it?
