Welcome to what might become your biggest nightmare! A mailserver attached to the internet. ;-PGiulio Troccoli wrote:I have just installed CentOS 5.1 on my home server and I am trying to set a mail server.I have diligently followed the instructions on the Wiki - How To on the CentOS website (http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/postfix). However I cannot send internal email (I haven't yet tried externally).Do you have any suggestions on what to check? To test it I used two normail user: giulio and federica. I logged in as federica and sent an email to giulio with the mail programme. Is this correct (i.e. using the mail programme)?There is one thing that I don't quite understand from the instructions. In section 3.1 it's suggested to setmynetworks = 192.168.0.0/24, 127.0.0.0/8in the /etc/postfix/main.cf file. My home network however is 192.168.69.0 and actually the IP assigned to any computers in the networks start from 192.168.69.20. So I changed mynetworks to 192.168.69.0/24 and also 192.168.69.19/30 (as my server IP address is actully 192.168.69.25). I don't think this is the cause of my problem anyway, because it didn't work even with the value suggested by the Wiki page.Thanks for you help GiulioWell, after putting the correct settings in /etc/postfix/main.cf mynetworks = 192.168.69.0/24, 127.0.0.0/8 AND commented out the line #mailbox_transport = lmtp:unix:/var/lib/imap/socket/lmtprestarted postfix and I can download my email with Thunderbird. I cannot read them on the server with mail but I don't care about thatThanks everybody for your help Giulio
