 |
|
I have just installed a mailsever for the first time... But I can seem to get it working!
I have a ADSL connection with a the IP: 213.237.25.201
The servers IP: 192.168.1.3
The servers Name: server
The router redirect the ports need for mail, ssh and web to 192.168.1.3
I have the domain shadowsite.net, the domain name is hosted by gandi.net.
At gandi.net the I have setup the host(a) shadowsite.net to 213.237.25.201 and mx to shadowsite.net
How do I setup postfix for sending and receiving mails?

rc-update add postfix default

postfix is install, but what hostname and mydestination to set?
If I set it to shadowsite.net, I get:
| Code: | postfix: fatal: parameter inet_interfaces: no local interface found for 213.237.25.201

Hello again,
with your setup postfix tries to bind to a specific IP
using the official name/IP, but you don't have the original shadowsite.net
IP configured for your ethernet interface.
The easiest way is to
set inet_interfaces=all
after that postfix should receive mail for $mydomain. Outgoing mail
is sent directly via MX-lookup. If this is not your wish, specify an outgoing relay (relayhost=)
Best regards
