1 Hi
2
3 Im trying to setup my own mail server... first step is to install postfix.
4
5 I have installed postfix with the following USE flags: mysql sasl
6
7 I have modified the config file /etc/postfix/main.cf and added the
8 following lines:
9
10 myhostname = myhost.mydomain.com
11 mydomain = mydomain.com
12 inet_interfaces = all
13 mydestination = myhost.mydomain.com, localhost.mydomain.com, localhost,
14 mydomain.com
15 mynetworks = my.ip.net.work/24, 127.0.0.0/8
16 home_mailbox = .maildir/
17 local_destination_concurrency_limit = 2
18 default_destination_concurrency_limit = 10
19
20 When I try starting the service with /etc/init.d/postfix start and
21 everything seems to be ok but...
22
23 how do I test that it actual works ?
24
25 testing if apache works is easy, you just go to http://localhost and see
26 if something happens,
27 but how do I test if postfix actual sends my mail?
