I am hosting my email server (postfix, dovecot) at home. I cannot send emails as my ISP does not allow connection via port 25. I have a linux server in the cloud with a public IP and I would like to use it as an SMTP relay (with authentication) for my email server. Is there any open source SMTP relay?
Thank you.
Regards
Zak

Hint for Debian (and most Linux distribution):

Keep sendmail (from sendmail.org) if you have significant sendmail experience.

Otherwise use Postfix.
