Leaving Google
I have to abandon keeping Wildsong.biz on Google Mail because over the years it evolved from being just email to being a "suite" of tools that I don't need or want, and then finally became a for-pay only service.
I still like the spam protection and the search features. Maybe I will move elsewhere later but for now I just want to forward mail to new addresses.
- Set up email forwarder for wildsong.biz
- Set up new gmail accounts
- Move devices (phones and tablets) to new address
- Move old email to new gmail account.
I think I am going to use my VPS at Tektonic.net as the SMTP server (for now at least) since I already have an account that I have to keep going there.
Exim4 on Debian-- This is a new thing for me, I am a Postfix guy, or I used to be. Ironically the first tutorial I looked at was for ISPconfig, which uses Postfix.
apt remove exim4-base exim4-config exim4-daemon-light apt install postfix postgrey
