Thank you so much! I'm a noobie and have only been coding for a year, and I was getting so frustrated with other explanations, but yours was thorough enough that I finally got it to work.

Great job Tony! Clear instructions on how to set up an email server using Ubuntu and Postfix :) The video and the link stated below the vide go hand-in-hand. Tried to go about other ways of setting up email server but it got really confusing especially when such videos or articles were talking about (i) setting a valid FQDN hostname, and (ii) adding MX & A records in the DNS. All of these explanations fall short in explaining the correlations b/w the Postfix and FQDN/MX&A when doing the actual installment.

Hi Tony. Update, i figured out what was wrong. I have mailx working now. But I am trying to attach a small log file and that is not working. No worries though. Thank you soo much for your videos. Very clear and easy to follow. Cheers, Chris

hi tony, I've done all the steps with you but after all set, I didn't receive email. Nor in inbox neither in spam or junk. Please help

Thanks man! It was very helpful and to the point. Just a couple of questions: (1) does the `sendmail` program install with the `postfix` package? and (2) can the same setup be used for receiving emails as well?

Hi Tony, thanks for the tutorial. It's quite straightforward to follow. I set the postfix following the steps successfully in a linux vm. But setting postfix in a docker container fails. By "fails" I mean the test email cannot be sent out. Could you please give me some advice on how to fix it? Thanks.

hi tony thanks too much for the videos, if you read my comment what is the best way to forward all received emails on ubuntu to gmail ?

How about the smtp server with 465 port? How to configure it? I have tried configured with that. But it always stuck in mail queue and the log showed that “Client wrappermode (port smtps/465) is unimplemented. Do you have any suggestion?

when I sent the path to postmap (sudo postmap /etc/postfix/sasl/sasl_psswd) it didn't create a .db file... any idea??
