I have uninstalled sendmail from the system.
root@library:/home/madan# dpkg -l | grep sendmail
root@library:/home/madan#

Postfix seems to be working but it's not sending email, maybe because of
the configurations?

root@library:/home/madan# telnet localhost 25
Trying 127.0.0.1...

Yes, i did from Debian apt repositories.

I did dpkg -l | grep exim but no result, that means exim is not installed
as well.  The configuration mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8, 192.168.0.0/24 in
main.cf works in my local machine. What would be the configuration for the
IP: 50.57.179.51?

Thanks,
