I got postfix working on CentOS a few years ago (previously I'd used sendmail). I don't recall having to do much other than put my hostnames and domainnames in a few places. Just by looking through the supplied config file and reading its comments. I just tend to hash-out things already in there and write my customisations on the line below. It makes it easy to undo goofs. But I recall that it was more or less ready to go for local mail serving to start with. In my case it does all my LAN mail, not just 127.0.0.1 system messaging. -- uname -rsvp Linux 3.10.0-1160.119.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Jun 4 14:43:51 UTC 2024 x86_64 (yes, this is the output from uname for this PC when I posted) Boilerplate: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted. I will only get to see the messages that are posted to the mailing list. -- _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
