Hi all,
I have two main.cf here:
$ ls /Volumes/neo/opt/etc/postfix/main*
/Volumes/neo/opt/etc/postfix/main.cf.default /Volumes/neo/opt/etc/
postfix/main.cf.sample
I am guessing that I should go with the default one if want to make
any
changes (is that correct?) and then do I rename the file to main.cf
when I
am done?
The post-install instructions say to copy the *.sample files and
edit those
as needed.
The more important question I have is, is macports version of postfix
ready out of the box?
Ready for what? Without knowing one's network configuration, it's
near
impossible to know how to set up an MTA, what with all of the various
configuration possibilities, and the need to avoid opening up a
relay...

I would like to do 2 things:
1. send emails over the Internet either using my ISP's smtp server or
gmail's smtp
2. send messages to other machines on my network in a p2p fashion. My
question I guess is would that require to host a mail server on at
least one of the machines involved? If so then is postfix already
setup for that?
