Bear with me; I'm a newbie struggling to get a newly set up postfix
server to receive mails on Unix account (roger8 is the account that
I've useradd'ed)
1. firstly, is ISPconfig necessary in a postfix server or I can still get
a basic postfix set up without it? If it's essential where can I
download its RPM (for Redhat)
2. is there anything wrong with my aliases file below? I've run 'newaliases'
to generate aliases.db & restarted postfix
3. what needs to be done to fix the message below (found in maillog):
"smtpd_sasl_auth_enable is true, but SASL support is not compiled in"
4. why are the mails received indicated as "removed" after being
delivered to /usr/bin/procmail (shown in maillog)
5. can I read mails received in postfix using Linux "mail" command.
6. what need to be configured such that "mailq" & "postsuper" will
correctly read/manage the mailboxes
(which is in /big_partitn/spool/mail/... ?)
