 |
|
I used this in my aliases file
| Code: |
mailman: "|/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman post mailman"
|
I sent an email to mailman@mydomain.com (not really mydomain but you know what I'm getting at). That was about 30 minutes ago. Where do I find this email? |

Where does postfix deliver them? the config file is /etc/postfix/main.cf; search for MAILBOX
And what is the intention behind your aliases entry? delivers mail to a certain mailbox. Then see above.
Additional comment: aliases are used to redirect mail do a different users.
| Code: | postfix: root
root: user |
i.e mail, which is intended for the user postfix (typically a system-user, not a real one) get forwarded to root, any mail for root get forwarded to user. this also implies that mail sent to postfix ends up in user's mailbox.

Sometime late Saturday I got an email back from google's servers saying a smtp connection could not be made with host. Looks like I'll have to see what I did to not install postfix correctly.  |
