How to Build Your Own E Mail Server using Ubuntu Server 14.04

This video will show you how to get an e-mail server up and running with all available ports and protocols working.

Postfix is a very complex email software with hundreds of possible configurations and options. I suggest reading the documentation at http://www.postfix.org/documentation.html
to learn how to fine tune your server.

Any questions I will try to help, just leave them in the comments below…

  • i'm getting this 451 4.3.0 <l0calmail.com>: Temporary lookup failure error how can i solve this

  • Dude , you are a legend .
    i wonder why Colleges fill our brains with useless things , while you provide useful skills for real world problems .
    i really regret all those days studying a computer science degree and you find yourself less skilled to someone who studied from the web for specific things .
    Any ways cant thank you enough . if there is any way i can pay you back for the knowledge and your efforts let me know .

  • In /etc/postfix/main.cf for both smtpd_recipient_restrictions and smtpd_client_restrictions isn't "permit_networks" meant to be "permit_mynetworks"???

  • Your lesson was great. I am new to Linux email servers and have to set one up for work. I did notice that you didn't set up an account for email access? I would also ask that when you type a command such as a path to a file to edit wait for a little to allow us to type these commands out before you hit the enter key. While I am now going with my notes to set up my first Linux email server. Thanks for the lesson.

  • Thanks very useful tutorial but I wish to know how I can a mail from an account to another. please its pretty urgent
