Postfix server configuration | Webové stránky Jana Faixe

Postfix server (Debian / Ubuntu) is:

configured to primary domain faix.cz

listening on SMTP port 25 on home-server machine

From Internet it delivers email for following domain: faix.cz
From LAN it delivers email for following domain: home.lan

Every LAN computer forwards it’s mail for any user to home-server mail server and is processed to users following rules in /etc/postfix/recipient_canonical

Sender mapping follows the rules in /etc/postfix/canonical and /etc/postfix/sender_canonical configuration files (not in use now).

All mail is forwarded to users in following virtual table /etc/postfix/virtual

Any internal email domain is changed following rules in /etc/postfix/generic configuration file

Do not forget to use command postmap /etc/postfix/configuration_file every time you change file with ‘hash:‘ prefix

After any configuration change you have to reload Postfix service postfix reload
