Trying to setup postfix
- by Frexuz
I used this guide: http://jonsview.com/how-to-setup-email-services-on-ubuntu-using-postfix-tlssasl-and-dovecot
telnet localhost 25 says
220 episodecalendar.com ESMTP Postfix (Ubuntu)
ehlo localhost
250-episodecalendar.com
250-PIPELINING
250-SIZE 10240000
250-VRFY
250-ETRN
250-STARTTLS
250-AUTH LOGIN PLAIN
250-AUTH=LOGIN PLAIN
250-ENHANCEDSTATUSCODES
250-8BITMIME
250 DSN
Installation seems fine?

I'm not really understanding the log file, and obviously I'm not getting any emails.
Right now I'm running Ubuntu on a Virtualbox (development box). Is that a problem? The internet connection works fine on it. What about domains etc..?
