Can you point me to some guide for this? Local delivery for viewing
with mutt is ok. I don't have to send it to my mail server....
sendmail would take me running postfix locally.
Or would sendmail work for local store delivery? Hmm.
I run postfix locally on my laptops. And I read mail with mutt.
Installing postfix is easy, _and_ being a proper mail system it also
lets your queue and send. All the MAILTO= in crontab relies on is a
"sendmail" executable, and all UNIX mail systems provide one. So
installing postfix gets you one.
(So does installing exim or sendmail or qmail etc, but I like postfix's
configuration.)
With postfix, I put the following settings at the top of
/etc/postfix/main.cf:
# where to send email for off-this-host - I run something special,
# but your ISP's mail service or the like should do just fine
relayhost = 127.0.0.2:1025
# what domain email from this machine has - I run my own domain
mydomain = cskk.id.au
myorigin = cskk.id.au
# what domains get delivered locally
mydestination = $mydomain, $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, localhost
# postfix will accept SMTP - my laptop only listens on localhost
inet_interfaces = localhost
# don't relay for anyone else, just the laptop
mynetworks_style = host
mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8, [::1]/128
# support the very cool "basic-address+suffix@" stuff
recipient_delimiter = +
# my usual upstream SMTP service gets stupid if you try to be too
# enthusiastic
default_destination_concurrency_limit = 1
The supplied main.cf has almost all the interesting settings set out
already, with comments. Those I change I comment out in the main file
and put the changed setting at the top of the file.
Happy to help debug your setup.
Cheers,
Cameron Simpson <c...@cskk.id.au>
