I over-reacted in my response, and to be honest, had no idea how to raise the topic since I knew it may be seen as live support. I should also not have used the word best. I can respect you had a difficult day, we all do, and sys admins more then others. I dropped it because to be honest I have been doing the whole VPS setup as a learning curve. After failing to get mail working I went with mail forwarding for now. I am really just trying to get expert advice and do it myself. I did not mean to single you out. For that I do apologise. | |
| Jan 17, 2013 at 19:25 | comment | added | pauska | (didn't notice this until now) I'm sorry for being a bit grumpy, I was in a terrible mood that day. I should have answered in a more polite manner. Zoredache is still right, you're basically asking us what kind of car you should buy. But again, I'll try to be a bit more friendly and helpful in the future. | |
| Jan 16, 2013 at 10:20 | comment | added | Dan | @MDMarra I've said this before, but while we have to maintain our status as a site for pro admins we really need to be way more forgiving with people who lack experience. We weren't born with 10 years of infrastructure experience, and neither are they! | |
| Jan 15, 2013 at 20:49 | comment | added | MDMarra | Right, and not picking on Pauska because I've done the same thing and so have many others, but this is the exact thing I'm talking about. If a regular asks something like that it would cause a discussion. If a low-rep SFer asks it, they usually (not always) get a much different reaction. | |
| Jan 15, 2013 at 17:53 | comment | added | BinaryMisfit | @Zoredache I respect that. More then anything. However it may not be the greatest example, but at the very least guidance isn't support? I had really hoped that would have opened up the discussion and honestly, there is a lot on the internet about it. I have since tried installing something using the most recent step by step, and still haven't figured out how to get it working. I do feel though that there is relevance to the OP's question with regards to the above. | |

That is a good example. You didn't even ask which mail server to use, you asked where to ask, and @pauska reply was a bit out of line. But keep in mind that particular question is approximately the same as which distro of linux should I use. You were in religious war territory, without knowing it. There are many MTAs that probably would do an adequate job for you, and there are very few references in existence that tell you what is not possible with each MTA, so you could at least exclude the possibilities that could never work.
