Thanks Mike.

While installing postfix, it prompts for domain name .. I dont have
one.. Should I give localhost as my domain ?

Maybe? If that doesn't succeed you can run dpkg-configure again and try your machine's name or an invented name or an existing name.


I'm new to mail server concepts therefore, pls guide me on installing a
mail server.

Regards,
Sri.

    #sudo dpkg-reconfigure postfix
    #sudo /etc/init.d/postfix reload
    #
    #sudo apt-get install mailutils
    #sudo nano /etc/aliases
    #
    # add aliases for local users - root, postmaster and mike
    #
    #sudo newaliases
    #
    # echo testing |mail -s "sending internal" mike
    # and ensure return-path in the email points to a valid address for

    This works.
