Help Setting Up Mail Server
Posted: Tue Sep 12, 2006 3:37 am
Hey all
Pretty new to Linux so please bear with me
I've got Fedora Core 4 installed on a testing server (the install was done by the other developer who has since left the company), and I now need to get the email server running on it. I know the sending is running OK as I can send mails via the php sendmail command, but they always come from charlie.localhost. (charlie being the name of the server). There is a domain set up with A records and MX records pointing at the servers static IP which I would like to be able to use for the emails.
Can anyone point me in the right direction. Basically, I need to get the out going mails to come from the domain, then any replies / bounces to be collected in the mailbox for a php script to parse over.
I googled this but didn't find too much out there (maybe I'm a crap googler) but so far all I can tell is that I think I need to use PostFix, and Dovecot.
Any advice, links, instructions etc would be very much appreciated....
