Install Postfix
# emerge postfix -va
Configuration
edit /etc/postfix/main.cf
myhostname = zero.iat.sfu.ca
naturally, use your server's real name :-)
mydomain = iat.sfu.ca
add to /etc/postfix/main.cf
# rewrites addresses recipient_canonical_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/recipient_canonical sender_canonical_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/sender_canonical # maps 'virtual' addresses virtual_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/virtual # the name says everything ###append_dot_mydomain = yes
We don't receive mail, so comment this line out, as shown, in /etc/postfix/main.cf
#mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, localhost
Check that these are uncommented, in /etc/postfix/main.cf
alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases
