# That number is your migration scope. # 5. systemctl disable postfix && systemctl stop postfix - Accepts mail from sendmail -t or mail
- Hands it to a smart relay (SES, SendGrid, Mailgun, or your provider of choice)
- Logs the result - Inbound mail to a custom domain — though even this is now better solved with a managed agent account: nylas agent account create [email protected], then poll with nylas email list or webhook with nylas webhook create --triggers message.created.
- Air-gapped networks with no outbound HTTPS — Postfix to a DMZ relay still wins.
- Compliance regimes that forbid third-party mail relays — a niche, but real. - Send email from the terminal — full reference for outbound CLI mail
- Best CLI email tools compared — mutt, mailx, msmtp head-to-head
- Receive email without an SMTP server — the inbound counterpart
- Full command reference
