I started using the default godaddy "sendmail" program that came with my linux web server, and I quickly bumped up against my daily sending limits enforced by godaddy. This led me toward a namecheap server where I have no email sending limits. I just have to make sure I don't let my users send spam. Sending spam from my IP address could get it blacklisted, and namecheap could block my email capabilities. My quick and dirty solution involved using a program called "postfix" to create a basic "SMTP mail server". My mail server is dedicated to my customers. And it is "send only". I had to whitelist my web server's IP address so that it wasn't an "open mail relay". I hope to one day enhance my mail server and integrate it with a MySQL database. I also want to host virtual email addresses for the domains I own.
