Hello, I am attempting to set up a mail server on my home machine. Currently I have Ubuntu 8.04 apache2, modjk and tomcat.
I followed this (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=40047) guide.
I stepped through it and got it somewhat up and running except that I am unable to receive mail. I forwarded the port on my router and allowed it from the firewall.
stim@stim-laptop:~$ telnet localhost 25
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
status0
^at this point, it does not respond to keyboard input, it must be killed from another process.
However, I can send mail using the 'mail' command, and it works both to users on the system (i.e. root@localhost) and external accounts.
I feel that I may have buggered up a .cf file so I will post them first, and some log info. If any of you have any suggestions I would really appreciate it. This is the first time I have attempted to set up a mail server.
If you need any more information I will gladly provide it. Thanks again.
