Thank you mike.

I have installed postfix which the following options:

*General type of mail configuration: Local only
Postfix Configuration: user-VirtualBox (Machine name)
Root and Poostmaster mail recipient: root *

Then the rest are default values.

Am I right ?

Sri

You seem to be configuring a non-standard sort of setup and I can't really help you. I suggest you document your steps and proceed by testing different configurations. Trial and error you might say.

Good luck

Mike



  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.

    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.
