UML?
Why not add https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:PlantUML? --AlonsoLP (talk) 10:02, 12 March 2019 (UTC)
- Well I doubt you will reply due to it being 3-4 years since this was submitted.
- Could you provide a link to where in the page this should be added? This is too ambiguous.

Should mailutils be added somewhere to mail server#software?
There is a template:expansion at mail server#software about somewhere adding mailutils.
Just pointing out that the article is about mail servers. And that mail server#software looks to me about components which are basically tied with MTA and system administration. While the description of mailutils states it is an MUA (mailx). I think MUA is more system user related. Also, there is a mailx wiki article.

- I am aware this is a discussion which was started over 3 years ago now.
- Yes I believe it should be added, and I will add as much software as possible during the rewrite of the page

Adding info about ISPs blocking port 25?
It seems to be somewhat common for ISPs to block port 25; should this be noted on the page? It can be really frustrating to figure out if you don't know why it's not working.

- I think it should be mentioned. It isn't just port 25, though; looking it up, some people say that ISPs also block port 465.
- I think I read about proxies that exist to solve this problem, which basically convert one port into another port whilst passing the traffic through otherwise unchanged. On a related note, this article doesn't mention rDNS or FCrDNS, which is a requirement(?) for some major mail servers (I saw some page detailing Gmail's requirements for mailservers which included this, but I don't have the link on hand). I don't know how much they enforce that, though.
