Setup SMTP server on RHEL 5.4

[Qcheck]

Hello Gurus,

Can anyone help me please with the configuration steps to setup an SMTP server on RHEL 5.4 system?

Thank you in an advance!

It is the normal, standard SendMail that runs on RHEL 5.4 - so if you're familiar with SendMail - there will be no difference.

Alzhy, So what you are saying is, SMTP setup is same as sendmail configuration. I was thinking it would be more configuration setup than just sendmail configurations.

Thank you.

Affirmative... Practically most MTA's (mail transport agents) on UNIX and Linux distros are SendMail. So administration, tips and tricks apply accross the board.

Thank you, Alzhy. I am waiting for the server to build and then I can able to setup.

Hello,

By default, the MTA will be Sendmail.

To check it, run:

# /usr/sbin/alternatives --display mta
