Postfix: Configure SASL Authentication for Remote SMTP - TecAdmin

Postfix SASL Authentication is one of the most popular methods for remote SMTP authentication. It’s a secure, reliable, and highly configurable way of sending and receiving emails. Essentially, the Postfix SASL Authentication consists of an authentication server and a client. The client is a mail program that sends the message, and the authentication server validates the credentials of the user. Once authentication is successful, the message is sent and authenticated at the receiving server.

The following step will configure the Postfix server to relay emails from a remote SMTP server with authentication.

Installing Quarto-CLI on Linux-arm64 systems

Quarto is Posit’s new open-source scientific and technical publishing system built on Pandoc that allows you to weave together narrative text and code to produce high-quality outputs including reports, presentations, websites, and more. It’s the successor of the highly successful, but R specific, R Markdown ecosystem, bringing all the benefits of R Markdown to other programming langues like Python, Julia and Observable.

Unfortunately, because of the lack of official arm64 binary sources for some of its dependencies (e.g. Deno, SASS, Pandoc), and as explained to me, their limited bandwidth to support not sufficiently popular architectures like Linux arm64. Quarto does not officially support the arm64 architecture, but that doesn’t mean we can’t make it work on it ourselves.
