What happens when you run
postfix start
??
You should see no messages, but a log message indicating
postfix has started.
If that works, then
telnet localhost 25
you should get a connect and see a postfix banner. Then do
the following:
Postfix you
banner
helo localhost
250 (some hostname)
mail from: <valid user@yourdomain>
250 Ok
rcpt to: <another such>
250 Ok
data
354 End data with <CR><LF>.<CR><LF>
hi there
.
250 Ok: queued as (mumble)
quit
221 Bye
for "valid user@yourdomain" and "another such" substitute
usernames on the local host, with an acceptable domain name.
Next take a look at the logs. They should show the mail
being delivered.
No? Let us know what happened.
