ok I did the above install-a question on the install it says to chose Internet as oppose to system or local users. Do I need to go back and rerun the setup config to change anything, since I am not using virtual users. Another question about http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2-do I use the these same commands for local/system users since it seems to be for virutal users?

As always Thanks for your help

Happy:)

If you've chosen something else, please run dpkg-reconfigure postfix Another question about http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2-do I use the these same commands for local/system users since it seems to be for virutal users?
These commands are for system users. :)

Again following the install from above -please confirm that both my pop3 amd smtp server use the same name. Also will I need to use authenicated users for the SMTP part as well
