Hey, i was fallowing your tutorial on the "perfect servfer" (http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect_server_ubuntu7.10) and i got up to runing telnet localhost 25 ehlo localhost and the output does not have 250 AUTH PLAIN LOGIN 250 AUTH=PLAIN LOGIN i have gone through all the inputs did and it appears that i made no errors. what does it mean that that is not in in the ehlo? is there a script that can find the issues?
telnet the telnet out put is as follows ehlo localhost 250-alaeric.sampaster.com 250-PIPELINING 250-SIZE 10240000 250-VRFY 250-ETRN 250-STATTLS 250-ENHANCEDSTATUSCODES 250-8BITMIME 250 DSN cat /etc/postfix/main.cf : # See /usr/share/postfix/main.cf.dist for a commented, more complete version # Debian specific: Specifying a file name will cause the first # line of that file to be used as the name.

I was thinking that maybe another mailserver (other than Postfix) was running on your server, but that's not the case. Are you sure you followed the Postfix configuration from the tutorial to the letter?
i could say yes and be all cocky about it and be insulted that you would doubt my mad skillz. but alas i believe i did, i double checked each input but there could still be a faulty in my typing. i did run through and double check but i will again. Is there some script that can check for errors? or a test that could point me to were i screwed up? thanks
oh it works now... one last thing, can you tell me or point me to a place that could help me learn how to turn it into a server that hosts a website? were do i put html files? access the sql server
If you've followed the "Perfect Setup", you already have such a server. You could install ISPConfig on it to create web sites, email & ftp accounts, MySQL databases, etc.
Hello, First say thanks to falko. I follow this howto too but now i do not know how to create the mail users. Thanks, i am noob in linux.
thanks for your help, well i know that this configured allows us to do that. however, i dont know how to do what i want. html files etc.
If you install ISPConfig, you can do this in your web browser. If you want to configure email accounts on the shell, take a look here: http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2
Thanks falko it works. but now i have a dude, in that post... when i create the user, the system do not create the home user-folder (/home/user_example). I was testing and if i made by my self the home user-folfer and the Maildir, i can send and recive mail. any idea? Thanks
