      Dear all,

      I've played around with Postfix. I've tried lots of possibilities, but can't get it to work. Right now no messages are being forwarded nor accepted, though I can connect to port 25; port 25 is open and redirected to WAN-address port 25 of Postfix.

      What to do for accepting domains and forward those to the appopriate servers? Do I need using the whitelists or something? Should I configure additional other configurations? When I want Postfix to scan on virusses etc. what is the best thing to use? Do I need Mailscanner to? Do I need both or just Postfix? All suggestions are more than welcome.

      Thanks in advance,
      Canefield

        config all tabs from postfix package, the most important are geneal, domains and antispam
        As you can connect to daemon, the general tab should be ok.
        On domains, config each domain you have associated with internal server that will receive filtered messages.
        On antispam tab, select all default options, config thrid part antispam options just after you can get these steps working.

        You need mailscanner and postfix.

          Marcello and others,

          About Postfix; when defining the domain names and the internal servers in general, mail is not forwarded to them and so my mail in not coming into my mailbox. Is there more to configure and/or some logs (or something else) to debug?

          I read that Mailscanner is consuming a lot of system resources, right? Any 'how-to' how to configure Mailscanner and a 'how-to' how to debug it for future purpose.

          Thanks a lot,
          Canefield

            check what postfix did with your messages on log files and/org report tab.

            make sure you did disabled third part antispam config on antispam tab.

            A good start is selecting all default options on gui.
