Hi everyone, I have an Ubuntu server 10.04.4 LTS box, I want to
understand more about how it sends emails, replicate on other boxes, get
some goodness such as nagios alerts going out, for example. I know my
knowledge in this area is quite weak.
The configuration details (related to the MTA at least) were not
documented during install. It's clear from /var/log/mail.log that
postfix is the MTA. I can read system emails via "mail". Output of
cron jobs are being emailed successfully to an external address
specified in the MAILTO= line of each crontab.
crontab MAILTO addresses set as u...@mydomain.com however will NOT
arrive. I believe that somewhere I have unwisely set the box's domain
to be mydomain.com since when I view system emails via "mail" they are
going to r...@mydomain.com. What config file am I needing to edit to
put the box in some other internal domain so it can send messages out to
mydomain.com? If I am not on the right track here, could someone nudge
me in an appropriate direction?
Thanks,
Roger
