Probabbly best in the Linux forum but...
Have you made sure that postfix is properly installed and is running?
When you
ps -aux do you see the postfix daemons?
There should be several, such as:
Code: Select all
postfix 9799 0.0 0.4 4632 1576 ? S 10:15 0:00 pickup -l -t fifo
postfix 9822 0.0 0.4 4696 1652 ? S 10:25 0:00 cleanup -z -t uni
postfix 9823 0.0 0.4 4640 1556 ? S 10:25 0:00 trivial-rewrite -
postfix 9824 0.0 0.4 4764 1764 ? S 10:25 0:00 smtp -t unix -u -
postfix 9825 0.0 0.4 4660 1632 ? S 10:25 0:00 bounce -z -t unix
postfix 9826 0.0 0.4 4660 1580 ? S 10:25 0:00 bounce -z -t
