Mail Server Setup
Mail Server Setup involves configuring and managing software that handles email transmission, reception, and storage, such as Postfix, Exim, or Microsoft Exchange. It includes setting up protocols like SMTP, IMAP, and POP3, along with security measures like TLS, SPF, DKIM, and DMARC to ensure reliable and secure email delivery. This skill is essential for maintaining email infrastructure in organizations, web hosting environments, or custom applications.
Developers should learn Mail Server Setup when building or maintaining email-dependent systems, such as corporate networks, e-commerce platforms with transactional emails, or custom notification services. It's crucial for ensuring email deliverability, preventing spam, and complying with security standards, especially in scenarios where third-party email services are insufficient or too costly.
