During one of my hack trips.. i was required to use postfix capability. Alright i am a newbie to the Unix environment but i learnt this Hack from sniffing around with some luck on my side..
Well i decided to share my thoughts:
i tried a lot of things to try make this work, but the follow i think are the relevant steps.
Firstly; I did this:
sudo mate /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.postfix.master.plist
and then added this lines of xml code, add following line before the closing tag:
<key>RunAtLoad</key> <true/> <key>KeepAlive</key> <true/>
then after start service with
sudo launchctl launchd% start org.postfix.master or simply run sudo postfix start
Another thing is editing the following files:
Edit the MAILSERVER=-NO- line in /etc/hostconfig. Change it to read MAILSERVER=-YES-. Save and exit the file. Open up /etc/postfix/main.cf, and edit these lines to reflect your setup. These are examples from my setup; yours might be different. LINE 67: myhostname = localhost LINE 75: mydomain = localhost LINE 91: myorigin = $mydomain LINE 105: inet_interfaces = all LINE 152: mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain LINE 239: mynetworks_style = subnet LINE 253: mynetworks = 192.168.0.0/23, 127.0.0.0/8 Save your work, and exit the file. Open up /etc/postfix/master.cf, and uncomment line 77 -- change #smtp inet n - n - - smtpd to smtp inet n - n - - smtpd. Save and exit the file.
Check that postfix SMTP mock is running:
telnet localhost 25
