asked on

configuring postfix to send mail

Hi,

I'm simply trying to configure postfix on a Ubuntu 9.04 server to send mail.  I don't need pop or imap support, just so PHP scripts can send mail from apache served pages.  New to postfix, so step by step instructions would be great.

Thank you cganeshkumar,

I think I'm a little confused conceptually.  I have a mail server running on a domain, and this is on a subdomain of that.  For example, the domain is www.domain.com, and this server uses the domain dev.domain.com.  I just want it to send mail, and I've followed the instructions in the link and it still does not seem to be working.  Here's the error log message:

Feb 18 07:59:08 xxx postfix/error[28245]: 508C311888C: to=<txxxx@xxxxx.com>, relay=none, delay=0.22, delays=0.2/0.01/0/0.01, dsn=4.4.1, status=deferred (delivery temporarily suspended: connect to 127.0.0.1[127.0.0.1]:10024: Connection refused)

kalmax,

thank you for those links.  I already have ISPConfig installed, and I hear webmin interferes with that.  I will have a look through those links tho just to be sure.

OK, I fixed that first error message by turning off amavisd, because I don't need it anyway.  Now I'm getting an error:

Feb 18 09:34:33 xxxx postfix/smtp[450]: C1508118898: to=<xxx@xxxxx.com>, relay=none, delay=0.05, delays=0.05/0/0/0, dsn=4.3.5, status=deferred (unable to look up host localdomain: Name or service not known)
