Hy,

I did emerge Postfix ... and had a couple of problem

First I did add to main.cf :
inet_interfaces = $myhostname, localhost

This is not a good idea for testing ...
My alias are (/etc/hosts) 127.0.0.1 localhost myhostname 
That makes postfix to crash
I would better live inet_interfaces = all :)

Secondly I needed to execute the command newaliases to make the stuff work
(Yep default config file says ... it needs /etc/mail/aliases.db

Hope this help...

That's all :)
Have fun with Gentoo

Hmmm.  Normally you want

/etc/hosts
127.0.0.1       localhost.localdomain   localhost
192.168.0.3     myhostname.mydomain     myhostname

(where 192.168.0.3 should be your machine's IP address).

Yep, I'm not surprised that you needed to run newaliases (running
newaliases _is_ in the desktop howto, by the way); are you saying that
it needed to be run _before_ "postfix start"?

Yep ... I think it needs to be added to the ebuild script :)

the problem is u can not  have 
127.0.0.1	localhost	myhostname	( wrong)

> Well I don't have a network card will it still work ?
Well it has to work.

You're planning to use it with a dial-up address?  There's
an example dialup configuragion in the postfix faq.

That's usually a bad practice.  At a minimum the /etc/mail/aliases
file should be edited to direct root's mail to a specific user
before running "newaliases".
