Lightbulb How to configure postfix server for network ?
It is very easy to configure postfix server for your server i am using RedHat 5.0.

#yum install postfix*

#vim /etc/postfix/main.cf

line no. 77 mydomain = san.com
93 myorigin = $mydomain -----------uncomment this line
69 myhostname = pc1.san.com
115 mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, localhost
(uncomment this line if it is commented)
225 mynetworks = 192.168.0.0/24 (define your network here)
107 inet_interfaces = all (uncomment this line)

:wq! save and exit now


#yum install system-switch-mail*
#system-switch-mail
and select MTA agent Postfix and ok

#service postfix start

Now u can send mail using postfix server by sandeeprhce5

First thing to do is check the logs on the sending server to see if it was sent OK, and if so, check the logs on the receiving server.

If you see errors at either end, post then here.

If not, let us know and we can think about the next step.

Edit - Sandeep, can you please turn that awful bold green text off?

Well sender postfix seems to think that's a local account. Do you have riffin.com listed in mydestination on the sender? Can you post "postconf -n" for both machines?
