I have installed postfix with the following USE flags: mysql sasl I have modified the config file /etc/postfix/main.cf and added the following lines: myhostname = myhost.mydomain.com mydomain = mydomain.com inet_interfaces = all mydestination = myhost.mydomain.com, localhost.mydomain.com, localhost, mydomain.com mynetworks = my.ip.net.work/24, 127.0.0.0/8 home_mailbox = .maildir/ local_destination_concurrency_limit = 2 default_destination_concurrency_limit = 10 When I try starting the service with /etc/init.d/postfix start and everything seems to be ok but... how do I test that it actual works ? testing if apache works is easy, you just go to http://localhost and see if something happens, but how do I test if postfix actual sends my mail? -- Regards / Venlig hilsen Johannes Skov Frandsen *Address:* Egelundsvej 18, DK-5260 Odense S *Web:* www.omesc.com | *Email:* joe@omesc.com -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
