Hi all, I am installing postfix from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PostfixBasicSetupHowto#Test your default setup and i am stuck at "Test your default setup" I am not able to telnet localhost 25, the error is telnet localhost 25 Trying 127.0.0.1... telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused This worked immediately after i installed mailx. But, after a reboot the telnet just doesnt work. how can i test the default postfix setup. Also, is there way to remove the default sendmail attached to each user account. Because, sendmail was installed on this machine and i guess sendmail is the default mail service for each user account? Thanks Avinash
Am guessing that postfix is not starting at boot, install rcconf and use that to configure postfix to start at boot. For now you can manually test by starting postfix Code: /etc/init.d/postfix start
Postfix is configured to start at boot time. But the service is not started. If i execute /etc/init.d/postfix start, the prompt comes back root@servername:~# /etc/init.d/postfix start root@servername:~#
Then check the logs, am sure postfix will state why it is not starting most likely due to a config error.
To keep you updated, the same thread is in http://www.linuxquestions.org/quest...ng-postfix-on-ubuntu-8.04-665162/#post3279083
