I am in need of serious help. I have been on Google, Stackoverflow, Postfix's website and numerous forums. I am officially stuck, I even tried to replicate another machine's config files.
The Problem:
I am trying to set up Thunderbird to catch postmaster emails. I want to do this using Postfix.
There is a site hosted through Apache on localhost, dev1.testdomain.com and dev2.testdomain.com.
Typically localhost and dev2.testdomain.com points to the same hosted application (Mono... Not Important).
There is a web.config file for each hosted application, in there we can set an attribute that points to the postmaster email address. Typically that email address will be the same as the one set up in Thunderbird which receives all the postmaster emails.
Further information:
Postmaster email needs to be: [email protected]
Computer name: developmentmachine
Administrator User Account: developer
I tried doing a "Maildir" type setup and can not get that working.
Can anyone please give me a step by step instruction on how to implement something like this?
Please do not post links to other websites, as I have tried about all of them on Google and could not get it working.
Or can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong?
What i have currently:
/etc/aliases
postmaster: developer
/etc/mailname
mycomputer.com
Postfix standard internet site installation.
/etc/postfix/main.cf
smtpd_banner = $myhostname ESMTP $mail_name (Ubuntu)
biff = no
append_dot_mydomain = no
readme_directory = no
smtpd_tls_cert_file=/etc/ssl/certs/ssl-cert-snakeoil.pem
smtpd_tls_key_file=/etc/ssl/private/ssl-cert-snakeoil.key
smtpd_use_tls=yes
smtpd_tls_session_cache_database = btree:${data_directory}/smtpd_scache
smtp_tls_session_cache_database = btree:${data_directory}/smtp_scache
myhostname = developmentmachine
alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases
alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases
myorigin = /etc/mailname
mydestination = mycomputer.com, developmentmachine, localhost.localdomain, localhost
relayhost =
mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8 [::ffff:127.0.0.0]/104 [::1]/128
mailbox_size_limit = 0
recipient_delimiter = +
inet_interfaces = all
home_mailbox = Maildir/
mailbox_command =
luser_relay = [email protected]
notify_classes = bounce, 2bounce
Any help will be much appreciated, I have tried everything now.
Thank you in advance.
UPDATE: Got it to copy files into Maildir/, still having issues getting it into Thunderbird.
Tried installing and configuring Dovecot and no luck.
