Hi, I am needing to install a mail service on my VPS in order to be able to send emails from MyBB, such as Registration Confirmation, Password Reset, and Notifications.

What would be the easiest way to do so?
What operating system are you using? Do you have a control panel of some sort?

The easiest to do this on your server would be to install PHP mail() if not already but knowing more details of your setup would be required.

Alternatively (and it'll be easier) would be not to send email through your server and opt for an SMTP mail provider. For example, sendgrid.com/free
yum install sendmail?
I went and just used smtp with gmail. I tried installing sendmail but for some reason I still couldn't get it to work.

Please execute the following command in SSH and screenshot the output so that we can give you more exact instructions:
cat /etc/*-release
