Hey guys...
I have strange problem.. sendmail refused to start, so i installed postfix. What do i have to configure? I want just some basic mail server that works :rolleyes: I'm using webmin. When i go to form for sending mails and i fill all needed fields... it says "Mail sent successfully". If i send thru root@localhost.localdomain or either if from any domains i host, i don't get mail...
Here's config:
http://nero-server.com/main.cf.txt

Hope it helps..

Thanks!

Which distribution do you use?

What's in the mail log?

Ok, please change
virtual_alias_maps = dbm:/etc/postfix/virtual

to
virtual_alias_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/virtual in /etc/postfix/main.cf and run this:
postmap /etc/postfix/virtual
/etc/init.d/postfix restart
