Right now I just sent from my mail client (thunderbird) but I would
like to be able to send back through postfix to keep a record of all
sent mails.
That's what your Sent Items folder is for.
You need to keep in mind that by default Postfix won't log the mail transactions
in a way easily identifiable by you, except that you sent a message to
u...@blah.com, the date and time. The entire messages aren't logged, just the
transaction data, and the only way to correlate with Thunderbird will be via
date/time stamps.
I think you're going to a lot of trouble for zero gain. Even if you get this
working, the resulting log files won't meet your needs. Did I mention log
rotation? That's another wrench in the spokes, though it won't really matter
since you can't discern the log info anyway.
There are very few legitimate cases for running a full blown MTA such as Postfix
on a laptop. Yours does not appear to be one of them.
Stan, Im only setting this up on my laptop to get it working.
Im not putting it on my working computer until I have it all sorted out.
