Thank you mike. I have installed postfix which the following options:
*General type of mail configuration: Local onlyPostfix Configuration: user-VirtualBox (Machine name)Root and Poostmaster mail recipient: root * Then the rest are default values. Am I right ? I'm doing this is to test the email generated by trac when a new ticket is created. Those generated emails must be viewed only from my local machine and If reply back to the sender of auto generated mail, then *email2trac or mail2trac plugin* must trigger up . And it should find the* reply content* to post it as "*comment*" in the ticket page. I should do all the operations internally (in my local machine) without any connection to the outside world using internet. Awaiting for your reply. Thanks a ton. Regards, Sri.
