I have just installed CentOS 5.1 on my home server and I am trying to
set a mail server.
I have diligently followed the instructions on the Wiki - How To on
the CentOS website (http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/postfix). However I
cannot send internal email (I haven't yet tried externally).
Do you have any suggestions on what to check? To test it I used two
normail user: giulio and federica. I logged in as federica and sent an
email to giulio with the mail programme. Is this correct (i.e. using
the mail programme)?
There is one thing that I don't quite understand from the
instructions. In section 3.1 it's suggested to set
mynetworks = 192.168.0.0/24, 127.0.0.0/8
in the /etc/postfix/main.cf file. My home network however is
192.168.69.0 and actually the IP assigned to any computers in the
networks start from 192.168.69.20. So I changed mynetworks to
192.168.69.0/24 and also 192.168.69.19/30 (as my server IP address is
actully 192.168.69.25). I don't think this is the cause of my problem
anyway, because it didn't work even with the value suggested by the
Wiki page.
Thanks for you help

Well,
after putting the correct settings in /etc/postfix/main.cf
mynetworks = 192.168.69.0/24, 127.0.0.0/8
AND commented out the line
#mailbox_transport = lmtp:unix:/var/lib/imap/socket/lmtp
restarted postfix and I can download my email with Thunderbird. I cannot
read them on the server with mail but I don't care about that
Thanks everybody for your help
Giulio
