Postfix: email done properly
So, last post, I suggested that a VPN was simpler than setting up my home email server to relay when I'm not at home. It was simple, but, when running on a Rasberry Pi, it's awfully slow. To the point of despair. And that's when I'm standing still. If I move around, my android phone has a tendency to disconnect from one wifi hotspot, and connect to ( Read more... ) -
Off-site access
I've been running postfix as my home mail server for the last several years, and prefer to have that configured as the mail server on my phone.

Our leave year finishes at the end of August. So 3 months from now.
I can carry 5 days over. I currently have 20.
So I need to use 15 days leave in the next 3 months.
