The problem is I don&rsquo;t want to setup more overhead than I need, nor do I want to setup non-secure services. So after asking the guys on the #uphpu channel, they recommended postfix. So for a Ubuntu 10.04 server, just run the following commands:</p> <p><code>aptitude install postfix #when prompted, select Internet Site aptitude install mailutils</code></p>
