EHLO.

I am still and always amazed of the simplicity and text-based nature of internet e-mail.

Even more so, as the configuration of those so-called message transport agents (MTA) – the pieces of software needed to send e-mail – seems awkwardly complicated and cryptic to me. Like two sides of the same envelope. And I am not looking at you only, sendmail…

Is there really no simple Lignux mail service with only a few and human-readable configuration options out there? Especially one that I can use out of the box when the MX records of my domain are handled by another service, anyway…
