    No, it’s just a service that’s running without me thinking about it.

    My setup is:

    • debian as system
    • exim for smtp
    • courier for pop3
    • mariadb for accounts

    But I’d like to make a point that’s not being made in any of the other comments. It does not require an SMTP server to send e-mail. All you have to do is lookup the MX DNS record of the domain, connect to that SMTP server and write a few commands fx.:

    EHLO senderdomain.tld
    MAIL FROM:<yourmail@yourdomain.tld> 
    RCPT TO:<recipient@recipientdomain.tld>
    DATA
    Subject: Blabla
    
    Bla bla
    .
