Mailserver software details
 

Most common mail software in Linux and in Fedora is sendmail.
It is easy to use and easy to configure

while installing you can choose that package or you can install it after OS installation is complete.
Insert cd and cd to that directory and run command

rpm -ivh sendmail*

It will install package and necessary components.

After that goto /etc/mail

edit sendmail.mv file and add
DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp,Addr=127.0.0.1,Name=MTA')dnl


line with changing 127.0.0.1 with your IP address.

and change
MASQUERADE_AS(`vvdesign.com')dnl
to your domain.
save and exit.

use command

m4 /etc/mail/sendmail.mc > /etc/mail/sendmail.cf

and restart mailserver

/etc/init.d/sendmail restart


after that at command prompt
type

#mail -v username

write your message

.

save and exit.

add dot to tell sendmail that message writing is complete

and mail is sent

switch to that user and issue command
mail

you will see the mail sent before.
