Configuring postfix server
 

Hi,

I've been trying to send mail to email account even after installing postfix but am not able to do so.My distro is Centos 5.4.

I followed the Centos user guide to install and configure postfix into the server,

but still didn't receive any email.

Pls help because I'm totally clueless.

Thanks.

HTH ;)

I now know that I have to configure dns mx to actually be able to send email correctly to my mail.
I have the link(user guide) on how to do this :

but where do I configure it? Is there a specific file for the configuration? I really don't understand this part.

Take a look at the DNS howto:
http://tldp.org/HOWTO/DNS-HOWTO.html
and others (http://tldp.org/HOWTO/HOWTO-INDEX/howtos.html)

You can also ask for help to specific mailing lists.
1) For postfix follow directions at http://www.postfix.org/lists.html
