Postfix Problem

bigdogg · 10-22-2003, 09:20 AM

I hope I'm posting in the right area

I'm a newbie so bare with me! I'm running Red Hat 9 with postfix and squirrel mail. I have port 25 open to the server and I can telet to the address so my public mx record is correct. I can send mail out and I can send mail to each other on my linux server but I can not receive mail? Here is what I'm using so far in my main.cf:

queue_directory = /var/spool/postfix
daemon_directory = /usr/libexec/postfix
mail_owner = postfix
myhostname = (domainname).com (Which is also my host name)
mydomain = mail (The MX record is to mail.domain.com)
myorigin = $myhostname
inet_interfaces = all (this is also my router too)
mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain
alias_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/aliases
sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail.postfix
newaliases_path = /usr/bin/newaliases.postfix
mailq_path = /usr/bin/mailq.postfix
mailq_path = /usr/bin/mailq.postfix
mailq_path = /usr/bin/mailq.postfix
mailq_path = /usr/bin/mailq.postfix
alias_database = hash:/etc/postfix/aliases

Well that's it! Please HELP!! Now the thing is this is great if this is just for my domain. But I'm going to be hosting three domain so how to I set it up so I can receive mail for those domain also?

Time to cry now

Thanks in Advanced

Weird is started working. But this still does not help my issue when I run mutple websites? How will I configure the main.cf to accept mail from 3 or 4 domains? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Im using sendmail now and you have to edit the Local-host files and add the different domains. Then you have to add it to virtusertable, which I believe Postfix also uses. It's all in this url I sent you.

Im trying to migrate to Postfix. If you can tell me how you made it work, it will be much appreciated.

That's what mydestination is for. Add the domains to that:

mydestination=localhost.localdomain,domain1,domain2,domain3

Any mail to user@domain1 (or 2 or 3) get's deliverd to the mailbox for user on the postfix box. You can throw the mail around to other destinations using the aliases file or using a recipient_canonical_maps table.
