Not sure how to proceed with mail server...

I followed the directions posted here:
http://www.projektfarm.com/en/support/howto/perfect_setup_debian_sarge/

I can telnet to localhost port 25 without any problems, so everything should be working ok.

The problem is... I don't know how to create a mail server like mail.domain.com. Then I'd like to create an address like [email protected] and.. you know the drill.

I'd like to do this manually (without ISPconfig or any other scripts). Any pointers, links to tutorials?

Everything I've come across so far is done with ISPconfig... :\

Thanks!

I tried this, but when testing my settings in Outlook, the mail.domain.com refuses my username.

Any idea why?

 

I fixed the "User Name was rejected" and now I can send e-mails, but I can't receive them.

When I send the email to [email protected], a new file is created in /home/my.name/Maildir/new, but when I check the e-mail in Outlook... the e-mail doesn't download. As if I didn't send it at all.

Any advice?

 

I'm using pop3d, which is already installed on Debian.

 

You are absolutely right, I should read the document more carefully [:

It works like a charm now, thanks!
