Hello,
My domain registrar has email forwarding for free. I plan to setup a
authorized SMTP in my ubuntu VPS for sending email from this domain.
I am newbie to email server and postfix.
Do you have any suggestion on doing this?
Reconsider that plan.
Most people do not need to run their own full-function mail server from
the OS up. You can cause yourself major headaches by trying to do so,
and as a 'newbie' you are likely to do so. If your registrar supports
bi-directional relay (i.e. supporting outbound initial submission and/or
SMTP relay) you can leave the deliverability and security problems with
them. If using a MUA directly with your provider's mail server isn't
adequate, the simplest sending setup would be to configure Postfix to be
a simple initial submission system using an upstream provider's relay as
a smarthost. See the BASIC_CONFIGURATION_README and SOHO_README
documents in the Postfix distribution for detailed information.
