LOL Thanks all for your responses. I think I'm on the right track-though I
may postpone further action until setting things up on my public server.
O.K. at the risk of over-extending my welcome, let me ask another silly
question:
What's the story behind the "adult swims" at a church in Barre?

The configuration file for sendmail has been likened to "an explosion in a
punctuation factory."
For RHEL 7, they switched from Sendmail to Postfix.

Hi folks,
Tell me if posting question like this is out of bounds. I'm still
relatively new to Linux-but I'm managing my own servers. I'm running Debian
9 and working in PHP. The application I'm working on needs to be able to
send emails. PHP requires an MTA to be installed for its mail() function to
work. I've installed SendMail, but I'm getting lost in what documentation I
have found for configuration.
I'm wondering what people are using for an MTA and how you are solving the
problem of mail servers junking your emails (because they don't trust the
source). My thought here is to use one of my email providers (Comcast,
GoDaddy, or Gmail) for the SMTP service. But that means configuring the MTA
to do that.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Ron Lawrence
