Hello: I am looking for some pointers on how to set up postfix as a mail server. I am running ubuntu 8.04 server. I use DynDns free web host redirects - my domain is foo.homeunix.com, my isp (comcast) is 24.168.22.34 (fictious address), my ubuntu server has a static ip address of 192.168.0.100 and behind a cable modem router.
I have configured my dynamic DNS host as a record ponted to an IP address to map my local server IP address to the comcast ISP address. (I run apache2 and http requests work fine). Question: Is this configuration sufficient to allow postscript on my server to operate as a mail server (when properly configured?) I assume for postfix config my FQDN is foo.homeunix.com? If not, what needs to be done? DynDns also has a service that sets the MX records for my host. Question: Do I need to configure the MX records for my host to make it email routing work? Question: Assuming the above is sufficient (and if necessary MX records configured), is there a guide that will explain how to configure postfix as an outbound only server? Alternative approach: If I want to configure Postfix as an outbound only server, relaying through my gmail account, how can this be done? Is the above configuration through DynDns sufficient? if not, what is missing.
