I am setting up my own mail server and seem like I have few more steps to go. When I send mail from MS-outlook to my mail server it return and said permission denies. I have question need to ask: 1. Do I need to setup ALL Linux users belong to postfix group in able to send and receive mail? 2. To be able to create a email account for a user, I must to create that user on my server first, is that right? 3. If you can please help me how to get a rip off permission denies thing. 4. How do I know if my port25 is running? THANK YOU Tuan __ Do You Yahoo!?

RE: [newbie] Postfix help
I assume that you have an internal network with private IP address's and NAT? make sure the linux box's internal IP is set as an interface for postfix. in your /etc/postfix/main.cf look for this: inet_interfaces = all make sure its unhashed. (or you can manually specify.) inet_interfaces = 202.165.23.244, localhost, 192.168.0.1 that will make postfix listen on all the relevant interfaces. then further down, you'll see this: mynetworks = something. you should make it something like this: mynetworks = 192.168.0.0/24, 127.0.0.0/8 (assuming thats your internal ip block.) there is other stuff, but that all relates to how you set it up... and without knowing that, its alittle hard to help. rgds Frank -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Tuan tran Sent: Friday, 7 June 2002 3:27 AM To: Mandrake users Subject: [newbie] Postfix help I am setting up my own mail server and seem like I have few more steps to go.

Is your Win9x box directly connected to the Internet? If so, I believe you must just set up your SMTP server to point to your ACTUAL email server rather than the Linux box. OR use one of the many other SMTP servers available out on the Internet that don't require user authentication. Remember, your POP3 and SMTP servers don't have to be the same.

I am currently using a linux box to be a temporary e-mail buffer for me. What I mean by that is, I have the linux box fetch and store my e-mails and at any given time, I can connect from my win9x box and get the e-mails. The reason I did this is that I recieve a lot of e-mails a day, and I easily hit my 10 Meg e-mail quota from @HOME. All it takes me is ~24 hours to hit the limit. Anyways, I managed to configure fetchmail and postfix so that fetchmail fetches my e-mails and I can log on and retrieve my e-mails using postfix. The problem is that when I send e-mails to anyone on my domain, it tries to see if the user is on my box or not. For example. I am [EMAIL PROTECTED] If I want to send to [EMAIL PROTECTED] It tries to look for the user test on my box. And since that user is not there, it bounces back. Any way I can tell postfix to send e-mail out and not to process it on my box?
