Install and configure Postfix on Debian

  1. Install Postfix 
    apt-get install postfix
  2. Install PCRE (Perl Compatible Regular Expressions) map support 
    apt-get install postfix-pcre
  3. Create a new file /etc/postfix/virtual
    admin@postfixtest.org admin
    user@postfixtest.org user
  4. /.*/ catchall
  5. Configure /etc/postfix/main.cf 
    # Debian specific:  Specifying a file name will cause the first
              # line of that file to be used as the name.  The Debian default
              # is /etc/mailname.
              myorigin = /etc/mailname

              smtpd_banner = $myhostname ESMTP $mail_name (Debian/GNU)
              biff = no

              # appending .domain is the MUA's job.
              append_dot_mydomain = no

              # Uncomment the next line to generate "delayed mail" warnings
              #delay_warning_time = 4h

              readme_directory = no

              # See /usr/share/doc/postfix/TLS_README.gz in the postfix-doc package for
              # information on enabling SSL in the smtp client.

              myhostname = debian
              alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases
              alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases
              mydestination = $myhostname  localhost postfixtest.org
              mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8 192.168.0.0/24
              mydomain = postfixtest.org
              mailbox_command = procmail -a "$EXTENSION"
              mailbox_size_limit = 0
              mail_spool_directory = /var/mail
              home_mailbox = Maildir/
              recipient_delimiter = +
              default_transport = error
              relay_transport = error

              inet_interfaces = 192.168.0.136,127.0.0.1
