I'm able to install msmtp just find on Ubuntu 18.04 with: apt install msmtp msmtp-mta ca-certificates, however I'm not finding Minimal SMTP server (msmtpd) anywhere on the filesystem. It also does not appear to be available within apt search

How can I install this service on Ubuntu 180.04 servers?

  • Take a look at the clamsmtp package, it contains /usr/sbin/clamsmtpd which might meet your needs. – ubfan1 Oct 20 '19 at 16:15
  • @ubfan1 clamsmtpd is for scanning emails for viruses (https://manpages.debian.org/testing/clamsmtp/clamsmtpd.8.en.html)... – ylluminate Oct 20 '19 at 16:30
  • See the second line of the package description: It can act as a traditional SMTP proxy with publicly accessible ports or as a transparent proxy, where SMTP traffic is redirected to the ClamSMTP by your router. Is a traditional SMTP proxy what you need? – ubfan1 Oct 20 '19 at 16:53
  • dpkg -l msmtp msmtp-mta ca-certificates ;for i in msmtp msmtp-mta ca-certificates ; do dpkg -L $i; done will tell you about the package contents. – waltinator Oct 20 '19 at 17:05
  • @waltinator thanks, I did a search with apt-file and then after looking closer at the package's version info apt show, it is quite outdated and msmtpd is simply missing everywhere, so I believe I must resort to building it from scratch and thus asked this question. – ylluminate Oct 20 '19 at 17:27
