Unless you have a Linux machine acting as a mail relay on your

ITYM 'a machine' - why would it have to be Linux?


Why on earth would anyone build a mail server on OSX or on Windows?

Sweeping generalisation.

Educated guess.

There simply isn't MTA software for windows except Exchange, and who
runs that at home?

And I have never ever seen a Mac used as an MTA ever.

The point being that anyone smart enough to to know how to use Windows
or OSX as MTA would be smart enough to know not to.

Postfix is nice, and runs on OSX.

And I run it on FreeBSD.
