ubuntu 14.04 安装postfix服务

一、安装postfix

# When asked about the environment, select 'Internet Site'. When asked to confirm the hostname
sudo apt-get install postfix
sudo apt-get install mailutils

二、添加邮件用户账号

sudo useradd -m -s /bin/bash incoming
sudo passwd incoming

三、测试邮件服务

• 链接SMTP服务

telnet localhost 25

• 发送邮件给incoming用户

ehlo localhost
mail from: root@localhost
rcpt to: incoming@localhost
data
Subject: Re: Some issue

Sounds good!
.
quit

• 登陆incoming用户，查看邮件

su - incoming
mail

"/var/mail/incoming": 1 message 1 unread
>U   1 root@localhost                           59/2842  Re: Some issue

四、配置 Postfix使用Maildir-style方式

sudo postconf -e "home_mailbox = Maildir/"
sudo /etc/init.d/postfix restart

• incoming用户配置使用Maildir ，重新发送邮件给incoming用户

su - incoming
mkdir /home/incoming/Maildir
MAIL=/home/incoming/Maildir
mail
exit
sudo service postfix restart

五、参考

• gitlab配置邮件服务
