Ways to check what SMTP server a Linux server is using
Quickest way to test is send yourself a blank email from the server, like so in terminal:
mail -s "Test" address1@domain.com address2@domain.com < /dev/null
Another way is and it will tell you what servers handle mail:
host your_domain.com
Hope this helps.

Learning Python, Linux, Java, Ruby and more with Tutorial Videos
I’m kicking off my Python journey once more, hopefully, now with depth. And came across this website – thanks to Anton Sipos – called ShowMeDo, that I believe can enhance your learning through videos.
Take it easy.
Read a file with bash
I had to test our download servers at work right away, i.e., HTTP vs HTTPS, which required downloading a large number of files. A file list was given to me to work with, like so:
/download/integrations/file1.exe
/download/us/update/patch/file1.exe
/download/us/cab/file1.exe
So I decided to use the bash shell to read each line and run wget quick and dirty. Here’s the script:
cat c:\\test.txt | while read line; do wget “URL/${line}”; done
While running it I just used the Windows clock to get an approximate time difference.
That’s it! Hope this helps.
