Dump it and use this one: http://www.ea4els.ampr.org/~sjmudd/postfix/ftp/rh72/RPMS/i386/postfix-20010228_pl08release-3.i386.rpm It's a better, and much more complete, package.

If you're doing dial-up here's a working config for that: #http://www.moongroup.com/docs/RH-postfix-HOWTO/c241.html#AEN244 #sample /etc/postfix/main.cf for a dial-up user # # your ISP's SMTP server name or IP address goes here relayhost = smtprelay.someprovider.com # # this line disables spontaneous PPP connections defer_transports = smtp # # this line disables DNS lookups for mail. As you are using a relay # you really don't need DNS. If you use this you should use an IP # address for $relayhost. disable_dns_lookups = yes # # you will need all of the default stuff included as well # defaults queue_directory = /var/spool/postfix program_directory = /usr/libexec/postfix command_directory = /usr/sbin daemon_directory = /usr/libexec/postfix mail_owner = postfix default_privs = nobody mail_spool_directory = /var/spool/mail mailbox_command = /usr/bin/procmail local_destination_concurrency_limit = 2 default_destination_concurrency_limit = 10 # # debug stuff debug_peer_level = 2 debugger_command = PATH=/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin, xxgdb $daemon_directory/$process_name $process_id & sleep 5 # # you shouldn't need any more in this next line for a stand alone host mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8 # # host specific information myhostname = yourhost.someprovider.com mydomain = someprovider.com myorigin = $mydomain # # where do we receive mail and who do we accept/receive mail for? inet_interfaces = all mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, $mydomain # # no uucp here default_transport = smtp # # let's get the envelope right masquerade_domains = someprovider.com If you're on a static IP address you won't need much more than this. You would need to change the mynetworks value to include your home lan. - -- csm Dmitry is free! Boycott Adobe! Repeal the DMCA!
