I have built postfix-3.8.1 from source and want to use it only on the local
system.
That is, I really only want it to receive messages from applications like sudo,
cron,
or some simple scripts using mailx and post it to the local user's mailbox.
My problem is that postfix keeps rejecting the messages. For instance:
...
smtp-server: 530 5.7.0 Must issue a STARTTLS command first
"/home/bdubbs/dead.letter" 11/293
. . . message not sent.
That is SENDMAIL not POSTFIX.
What is your operating system? The choice of mail server may be
configured with /sbin/alternatives or /usr/sbin/mailwrapper.
I am using linuxfromscratch. I did figure out the STARTTLS problem because of
an
incorrect value in the mailx configuration file. I'm still having delivery
issues,
but I think I can figure it out. I'll come back if I cannot.
If you want it to work ONLY on the local system, why are you using a mail TRANSFER
agent at all, instead of just a local delivery agent? A mail transfer agent's job is
fundamentally to move mail from one system to another.
I did figure out my problem. My use was just for testing. Sorry for the noise.
