Hey all, I downloaded, compiled, and installed PostFix sucessfully. It seems to be able to send and receive mail via the "mail" command at the prompt.
Someone mentioned (I think named Jill) that Postfix can be configured to work with a third-party client like Outlook. Does anyone know how? Jill mentioned that it was working fine that way on her system - is her admin reachable? I searched through my installation guide, the included documentation, and the postfix.org website, but I didn't see anything about this. I understand this means setting up Postfix to operate as an SMTP/POP3 server, but what's the method? I'm also trying to figure out why the program insists on CC:ing every outgoing message back to the originating account. Any clue? I looked through the main.cf file and couldn't find a way to disable this. Again, this happens when I send mail from the command prompt, so I'm wondering if it would do the same thing I also have a quick question about Apache. The httpd daemon is operating on my system and delivers virtual domain pages properly. However, it won't recognize www.mydomain.com/~user URL's. Any idea why not? Again, I couldn't find any help on this.
