Hi folks,

AMD Athlon54 X2 512Kx2 socket AM2 3800
slamd64-11.0

Just completed installing the captioned OS with everything installed except GAME. This is an experiment. slamd64 is now running on the box.

I'm going to setup virtual mail boxes on this server, allowing my friends using the mail server sending and receiving mails. Please advise;

1) how to check whether sendmail is running and configured properly.
2) how to setup virtual mail boxes. Where can I find relevant tutorial.

TIA


B.R.

You can check if sendmail is running a number of ways.
$ ps aux | grep sendmail
$ nmap -p25 127.0.0.1
(although the SMTP service could be postfix, qmail etc)
or just try restarting it with:
# /etc/rc.d/rc.sendmail restart

Configuring and testing can be a bit more tricky.

Webmin can make configuring sendmail a LOT easier!
