Re: How to use postfix?

Hello and welcome to the forums, personal I would not recommend postfix for smaller setups, depending on the amount you prefer. First and foremost you can use opensmtpd.  As for receiving messages itself you can use mutt as terminal-based mail-client.

To recommend also: Please always approve to use a static and formal reachable server as otherwise communication local throughout for example dynamic ip-addresses will not work. Reasoning: Most mail-server hosting disapprove that and decline communication immediately as otherwise spam and other harmful messaging would be possible in a tremendous number.

Certainly anyone who has the power to make you believe absurdities has the power to make you commit injustices: For a life of every being full with peace and kindness, including diversity and freedom. Capitalism is destroying our minds, the planet itself and the universe in the end!
