Local postfix as relay to Amazon SES
Introduction
Alright, this is a quick guide for the impatient but otherwise experienced linux admin/hacker/hobbyist. Some past postfix experiences might be advantageous for general understanding and troubleshoooting.
Why would I want a local postfix and relay to another smtp anyway? Simple: When my application code needs to send an e-mail, there is an SMTP server ready to accept the e-mail from me. It will then take care of everything else like re-delivery, dealing with being grey-listed and many other things. Also, if connectivity to the SES SMTP happens to be interrupted it’s no big deal because here too, the local postfix will handle re-sending for me. Nice, huh?
