Comment on Recommendation for outgoing-only SMTP server

  Can’t you use sendmail? Also, check out my updated message above. You’ll need to make sure you can send outbound traffic on port 25.

    Sendmail is a binary provided by a mail system and no mail system is installed by default on Fedora.

    I’m looking for a solution that’s as simple as possible: provide a sendmail binary to pass the message to a third-party SMTP server.

    I’ll connect to Mailgun via TLS— no port 25 involved.

      Not sure if it’s in fedora, but I use nullmail as my mta. Simple to config and does just MTA

        Thanks. Turns out it’s not in Fedora.

      Sendmail is provided by the sendmail package in Fedora. Here’s some instructions on installing and configuring it:

        Sendmail is a full-blown MTA released 41 years ago that is notoriously difficult to manage. There are reasons that it’s market share has declined from 80% to about 3%. I’m also not looking for a MUA, like mutt. I’m looking for a simple MTA that that only relays outbound mail, like msmtp, ssmtp or nullmailer.
