Mail server

Hi, I need a simple and light mail server for laptop with Arch. I must present some Oracle procedures which send mail from PL/SQL from my laptop at university and I can use only personal instaled software.
Thank you in advance and please excuse my bad english.

Re: Mail server

heirloom-mailx and a gmail account sounds like it would work for what you want

create a .mailrc file in your home directory and add this:

set sendmail="/usr/bin/mailx"
set smtp=smtp.gmail.com:587
set smtp-use-starttls
set ssl-verify=ignore
set ssl-auth=login
set smtp-auth-user=yourgmailaccounthere@gmail.com
set smtp-auth-password=yourpasswordhere

You could probably easily adjust it for other mail services but this is what I use
