Re: Postfix (Roundcube client) sends mail, but not able to receive

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



Dear All
I have some basic doubts.

1. Do I need to run postfix like  /etc/init.d/postfix restart
2. What I found it , it is starting.., but when I check immediately ps -ef
| grep postfix, I do not see any postfix process running.
3. Is there any system config file, where I need to mention system need to
run postfix not sendmail....
4. If postfix is not running, how am I able to send mails out....

5. I read some "make sure port 25 does not relay mails", can somebody
explain more in this regard and how do I stop port 25 relaying mails...

My apologize for novice questions.

Regards
-Austin
