      If you have multiple servers on a network, do you install postfix on each one? Or just set up one? What's YOUR best practice there?

        oh FFS I went through this with you the other day..

        I assume this thread is a response to a private conversation you had with @scottalanmiller after your failure to get email from your dnf-automatic setup.

        Start a thread to discuss that if you want, I am not going to clutter this thread with anymore replies regarding this.

              Yes, otherwise how will you send out the email as the client needs to communicate over the network and postfix is what provides the network protocol. The mailx command doesn't have a network component, it just drops files into the postfix local queue.

                Correct answer to his incorrectly worded question.

                The correct answer to him is no.

                    If your email is hosted through somewhere else, such as O365, you'll need to edit your SPF record to allow emails from that server or use an SMTP server that authenticates with and relays to O365.

                    DNF-Automatic, for example, from what I've seen, does not have SMTP authentication options. So I've been using an SMTP server.

                      O365 has options for IP authenticated relay (but I think it's only to your own domains, it won't relay through O365 to other domains - again I think).
