How to install and config Postfix? - Fuzzems - 2008-06-02
Hi all,
First of all, I would like to express my joy in finding this site, since I'm a real noob on Linux and all that surrounds it!
[img]<___base_url___>/uploads/emoticons/default_laugh.png[/img]
I'm running a webserver with a family site on it, which needs a mailserver for confirmation of new members. I'm using HowTo as my guideline.
The setup of the server itself works fine, but with Postfix I experience nothing but trouble. That is; Postfix service won't start al all!
I believe it has something to do with LDAP, cos that keeps asking for a password which I don't know.
Is there a way to uninstall and reinstall, so I can try if I made an error in the process?
Pfff.... it's 86 F in my room, and it's getting warmer any minute thinking how to fix this!
If someone can help; please do!

Well, as I mentioned before, the first problem I encounter after opening the MTA, is that LDAP asks for a password I don't know. I didn't give one, cos every pw I need get's scribbled down.
Is there a way to reinstall, or at least, to remove software I don't need?

Forget about the problem I had before. I reinstalled the server, meaning a fresh start.
What do I want;
<ol style="list-style-type:decimal;">[*]Run a website with Apache, MySQL and PHP
[*]Send a message to new members of that site
[*]Receive messages when needed on one mailaccount
[*]Make sure this is done safely, without spam or virus [img]<___base_url___>/uploads/emoticons/default_dry.png[/img]
</ol>
What have I done sofar?
- Website and such are running fine
- Got my IP registered and working. This also has an MX record included
- Configed Postfix as far as I could, meaning followed HowTo's and such
- Consumed large ammounts of food and drinks, cos I'm doing overtime behind my computers
What I DON'T want;
- Very usefull apps, which can do virtually everything, but what I'm not gonna use anyway
- Just a simple app, but with a hell of a config to do! (but if that's the only way... it'll do ;) )
So does anyone have the solution for me, cos I'm running out of ideas.
