The Perfect Server - Ubuntu Hardy Heron (Ubuntu 8.04 LTS Server)

[Carlo Gambino]

Hello All,

I have been toying with the idea of hosting my own server recently and stumbled upon falko's tutorial with Ubuntu. I have been going pretty well but have run into trouble with configuring postfix.

Page 5 directs the following changes to the postfix config:

postconf -e 'smtpd_sasl_local_domain ='
postconf -e 'smtpd_sasl_auth_enable = yes'
postconf -e 'smtpd_sasl_security_options = noanonymous'
postconf -e 'broken_sasl_auth_clients = yes'
postconf -e 'smtpd_sasl_authenticated_header = yes'
postconf -e 'smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_sasl_authenticated,permit_mynetworks,reject_unauth_destination'
postconf -e 'inet_interfaces = all'
echo 'pwcheck_method: saslauthd' >> /etc/postfix/sasl/smtpd.conf
echo 'mech_list: plain login' >> /etc/postfix/sasl/smtpd.conf

However, when I attempt to do this, I get:

postconf -e 'smtpd_sasl_local_domain ='
>postconf -e 'smtpd_sasl_auth_enable = yes'
postconf: fatal: edit accepts no multi-line input

Where am I going wrong?
