Setting up mail server on LAN

[usmanma]

I want to setup mail server on LAN (Local Area Network). How do I setup local SMTP server to be able to send emails? Please advice, Thanks.

You might want to look into Postfix (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PostfixBasicSetupHowto).

apt-get install postfix

during conf is going to ask you if you want it to be an internet mail server or local, if i remember correctly.

Yeah, its ask that its "Internet Site" or "Local domain". I chose it to be "Internet site" as I want to be able to send emails to other domains.

Do you guys know, if we could use google's smtp server to send emails to internet domains?
