Getting started with Postfix on Ubuntu

2009-01-26 Thread MountainX
I am new to all this. I installed Postfix and it is mostly working as I want it to. However, I have a list of small issues that need to be resolved. Where is the best place to get help? Is this it? Would the Ubuntu forums be better? Somewhere else? My question: my DenyHosts report is sent out fr

I only want my local machine to be able to send email out. I won't want to receive email. Today, I saw this info in my log. The "connect from" surprised me. How can I prevent anyone outside my local machine from connecting to postfix? Jan 26 09:26:48 ubuntu postfix/smtpd[20920]: connect from 124

myorigin = $mydomain, but where is mydomain defined?

2009-01-28 Thread MountainX
I was reading the SOHO doc and decied that setting "myorigin = $mydomain" might address my needs. (I was just guessing, because it isn't clear to me exactly what this setting does.) After making the change, I have the problem where my postfix logs show emails addressed like this: from= and if tha
