## Mail Transfer Agent configuration
When you choose the "Mail Transfer Agent" install option in `openhabian-config` menu to install `exim4` as the mail transfer agent on your system, you will be presented with a number of questions on how to relay emails through a public service such as Google gmail.

Here's what you will need to enter:
* Mail server type: mail sent by smarthost (received via SMTP or fetchmail)
* System mail name: FQDN (your full hostname including the domain part)
* IPs that should be allowed by the server: 127.0.0.1; ::1; 192.168.xxx.yyy (replace with your hosts's IP)
* Other destinations for which mail is accepted: `<hostname> <hostname>.<domainname> <domainname>`
* Machines to relay mail for: Leave empty
* IP address or host name of the outgoing smarthost: `smtp.gmail.com::587`
