Postfix
From Christoph's Personal Wiki
Postfix is a free software / open source mail transfer agent (MTA), a computer program for the routing and delivery of email. It is intended as a fast, easy-to-administer, and secure alternative to the widely-used Sendmail MTA.
Base configuration
The main.cf file stores site specific Postfix configuration parameters while master.cf defines daemon processes. The Postfix Basic Configuration tutorial covers the core settings that each site needs to consider.
Configuration settings for a few common environments are discussed in Postfix Standard Configuration Examples.
Address rewriting and mail routing are covered in Postfix Address Rewriting. The full documentation collection is at Postfix Documentation.
