Creating a mail server on Linux-based machines could be one of the most important things that every system administrator should do.

In today’s video, I’ll take you through the initial server configuration. We’ll discover how to install a Postfix mail agent and a Dovecot mail server, and how to configure them for your emails to circulate properly.

had an issue with opendkim conf;
ExternalIgnoreList refile:/etc/opendkim/TrustedHosts
InternalHosts refile:/etc/opendkim/TrustedHosts
KeyTable refile:/etc/opendkim/KeyTable
SigningTable refile:/etc/opendkim/SigningTable
SignatureAlgorithm rsa-sha256
# i had to remove the space between refile: and the the path to the file – and that allowed for a successful start with systemctl.

Salut, comment allez vous ?
S'il vous plaît j'ai un problème.
Quand je lance l'installation de postfix
On me dit impossible de trouver le dossier de postfix.
I could get the e-mail working, but couldn't send from the created user "demo" as shown. Where did I miss? Seems to me that at 4:41 (dpkg-reconfigure postfix) it is needed to inform the user at pink screen (recipient) but I could not solve this.
This is a topnotch, echelon tutorial. thank you so much for the excellent work.
When I try to send the email with sendmail, It never recieve It. Also this is in the logs:
postfix/smtp[88565]: connect to gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com[2a00:1450:400c:c03::1b]:25: Connection timed out
The telnet command "telnet gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com 25" times out as well.
Thanks!!
6:05 I've tried this step multiple times and i haven't received anything in spam? but i have followed this exactly?

Very good tutorial but still some questions to ask.. my advice answer too everybody ( are not hundred ) not only who say good job… my advice.

Hello and thank for your excellent tutorial! Unfortunately I cannot send mail from an azure vm because of technical limitations, at least on port 25. MS says I should be able to send authenticated mail through port 587 at least.
