to return to the s ys tem s hell.
T o populate the databas e you c an us e the M ySQ L s hell:
mysql -u root -p
USE mail;
A t leas t you have to c reate entries in the tables domains and users:
INSERT INTO `domains` (`domain`) VALUES ('example.com');

INSERT INTO `users` (`email`, `password`, `quota`) VALUES ('sales@example.com',
ENCRYPT('secret'), 10485760);
(P leas e take c are that you us e the ENCRYPT s yntax in the s ec ond INSERT s tatement in order to enc rypt
the pas s word! )
I f you want to make entries in the other two tables , that would look like this :
INSERT INTO `forwardings` (`source`, `destination`) VALUES ('info@example.com',

'sales@example.com');
INSERT INTO `transport` (`domain`, `transport`) VALUES ('example.com', 'smtp:mail.example.com');
T o leave the M ySQ L s hell, type
quit;
For mos t people it is eas ier if they have a graphic al front- end to M ySQ L ; therefore you c an als o us e
phpM yA dmin (in this example under http://192.168.0.100/phpmyadmin/ or http://server1.example.com
/phpmyadmin/) to adminis trate the mail databas e. A gain, when you c reate a us er, go s ure that you us e
the ENCRYPT func tion to enc rypt the pas s word:
I do not think I have to explain the domains and users table further.
T he forwardings table c an have entries like the following:
6 of 10 11/30/09 12:05
source destination
info@example.com sales@example.com Redirects emails for info@example.com to

sales@example.com
@example.com thomas@example.com Creates a Catch-All account for thomas@example.com. All

emails to example.com will arrive at thomas@example.com,
except those that exist in the users table (i.e., if
sales@example.com exists in the users table, mails to
sales@example.com will still arrive at sales@example.com).
@example.com @anotherdomain.tld This redirects all emails to example.com to the same user at
anotherdomain.tld. E.g., emails to thomas@example.com will
be forwarded to thomas@anotherdomain.tld.
info@example.com sales@example.com, Forward emails for info@example.com to two or more email

billing@anotherdomain.tld addresses. All listed email addresses under destination
receive a copy of the email.
T he transport table c an have entries like thes e:
domain transport
example.com : Delivers emails for example.com locally. This is as if

this record would not exist in this table at all.
example.com smtp:mail.anotherdomain.tld Delivers all emails for example.com via smtp to the
server mail.anotherdomain.com.
example.com smtp:mail.anotherdomain.tld:2025 Delivers all emails for example.com via smtp to the
server mail.anotherdomain.com, but on port 2025, not
25 which is the default port for smtp.
example.com smtp:[1.2.3.4] The square brackets prevent Postfix from doing lookups
smtp:[1.2.3.4]:2025 of the MX DNS record for the address in square
smtp:[mail.anotherdomain.tld] brackets. Makes sense for IP addresses.
.example.com smtp:mail.anotherdomain.tld Mail for any subdomain of example.com is delivered to

mail.anotherdomain.tld.
* smtp:mail.anotherdomain.tld All emails are delivered to mail.anotherdomain.tld.
joe@example.com smtp:mail.anotherdomain.tld Emails for joe@example.com are delivered to

mail.anotherdomain.tld.
See
7 of 10 11/30/09 12:05
man transport
for more details .
P leas e keep in mind that the order of entries in the transport table is important! T he entries will be
followed from the top to the bottom.
Import ant : P os tfix us es a c ac hing mec hanis m for the trans ports , therefore it might take a while until
you c hanges in the transport table take effec t. I f you want them to take effec t immediately, run
postfix reload
after you have made your c hanges in the transport table.
When you c reate a new email ac c ount and try to fetc h emails from it (with P O P 3 /I M A P ) you will
probably get error mes s ages s aying that the M aildir does n't exis t. T he M aildir is c reated
automatic ally when the firs t email arrives for the new ac c ount. T herefore it's a good idea to s end a
welc ome email to a new ac c ount.
Firs t, we ins tall the mailx pac kage:
apt-get install mailx
T o s end a welc ome email to sales@example.com, we do this :
mailx sales@example.com
Y ou will be prompted for the s ubjec t. T ype in the s ubjec t (e.g. Welcome), then pres s ENTER, and in the
next line type your mes s age. When the mes s age is finis hed, pres s ENTER again s o that you are in a
new line, then pres s CTRL+D; if you don't want to c c the mail, pres s ENTER again:
root@server1:/usr/local/sbin# mailx sales@example.com

Subject: Welcome <-- EN TER
Welcome! Have fun with your new mail account. <-- EN TER
<-- CTRL+D
Cc: <-- EN TER

I have used a virtual machine to install postfix using this howto. Step by step, no error message, all went well I would say.
One big issue here. Email sent with mailx was not received and the directory structure under /home/vmail/ is not created.
Does anyone have the same problem ? Maybe a solution ?

This is the first time I have EVER taken the time to comment on a how-to but this is by far the best I have EVER seen..
and I've gone through a lot.
Thank you so much for taking the time to make a decent walkthrough.
