Using PostFix

When setting up Postfix an alias should be defined of a human user to receive emails on behalf of root. Edit /etc/postfix/aliases to include :-

# Person who should get root's mail.  This alias
#must exist.
# CHANGE THIS LINE to an account of a HUMAN
root:      foobar

Then run the command 'newaliases' as root.

With Mandriva Linux 9.2 - If the user selects the 'mail server' tick box in the package selection screen during installation. The package 'mailman' will be automatically installed. Postfix mail server will not start if mailman is installed unless mailman is correctly configured. If mailman is not required then remove the mailman package before using Postfix, and then check that the file /etc/postfix/main.cf contains the line :

alias_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/aliases
