As running a mail server brings numerous challenges, you need to analyze every detail with care to reach the right decision for you.

Administrators typically rely on a command-line interface (CLI) when managing a Linux remote system (such as a virtual private server). Numerous Linux distros feature a graphical user interface (GUI), which some users may find more helpful than a CLI. However, entering commands tends to be smoother and more flexible via a CLI. For instance, you can use one command to replace certain entries across several files with a CLI, but that takes longer when using a GUI. As Linux has lots of commands for different tasks, though, it can be difficult to utilize Bash (Bourne Again Shell) shell. That’s why…
