installing postfix mail on ubuntu 9.04 server
my task is to install a mail server on my ubuntu 9.04 server
i install postfix
sudo apt-get install postfix
I configure postfix
sudo dpkg-reconfigure postfix
in the file /etc/postfix/
myhostname = dogfish
alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases
alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases
myorigin = /etc/mailname
mydestination = mail.mediashark
relayhost =
mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8 [::ffff:
mailbox_
recipient_
inet_interfaces = all
home_mailbox = Maildir/
smtpd_
smtpd_sasl_type = dovecot
smtpd_sasl_path = private/
smtpd_
smtpd_
smtpd_
my mail server hostname = mail.mediashark
then i install
sudo apt-get install dovecot-postfix
then i restarted the postfix
sudo /etc/init.d/postfix restart
it was restarted successfully
my server pc name = dogfish ( not the mail name)
now i want to test
telnet dogfish 25
it gave me
Trying 127.0.1.1...
Connected to dogfish
Escape character is '^]'.
220 dogfish ESMTP Postfix (Ubuntu)
then i wrote
ehlo host
it gave me
250-dogfish
250-PIPELINING
250-SIZE 10240000
250-VRFY
250-ETRN
250-STARTTLS
250-ENHANCEDSTA
250-8BITMIME
250 DSN
but it didn't give me those two lines :
250-AUTH LOGIN PLAIN
250-AUTH=LOGIN PLAIN
does this mean that the test is not successfully ?
if so how can i solve it !
i will be glad if any one can help me
