Configuring Mail Server using webmin
 

I want to set up a mail server. I have a linux fedora 10 running with a webmin squid working. So I want to install mail server. I have follow some other post on this forum but fail to set up. My postfix is running. To set up a mail server do I have to set up DNS first or I can have postfix hosting my LAN mail without the DNS.I use howto from this link:https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Po...asicSetupHowto Only postfix is running.

you really need to setup dns at first or let the domain registra do for you
because you need to point mx record to where the email server will be hosted for that domain

only after that you can setup email server because email server without mx record will not functioning, or you maybe can send but cannot recieve the mail

I have installed DNS but now to configure it is now the problem. I am using GUI. What are the main areas i need to configure or to change bearing that I what to configure mail server on this. What is mx record?

This link from tldp will answer all your queries.
The basic configuration would be setting up zone and corresponding forward and reverse lookup files.
You will need to add MX record as said. The MX record tells that the corresponding ip is for its mail server.

I pretty sure you want to setup mail server as fast as posible since
you already got registered domain.
to avoid all DNS headace you better contact your domain registra
to point your domain MX record to the server you want to install mailserver

for email server you better get several ready mail server bundle and follow
thier instruction, outside there several eg. ravencore etc. etc
however please find thier README and others instruction and read carefully

all those is the only suggestion for you, but if you want to learn hard
then build your own dns server, ask only when you stuck on doing that,
if you go to konsole mode for configuration i sure there many people
who can give a hand to you, but with webmin, ermm i not sure is there
many people use it and willing to help

ps: sorry my poor english :)
