<ol><li value="2">Create a new account on your '''vm3''' machine using only your <u>first</u> name. We will use this account as a one-time "test" if the mail message has been received on your VM3 machine (from your VM2 machine).<br><br>'''Note:''' It is <u>'''important'''</u> that you '''<u>don't</u>''' create this same account name on your vm2 machine, since you want to easily identify the difference between the sending and receiving SMTP servers.<br><br></li></ol>
<ol><li value="3">We still haven't set up IMAP (for reading email) but we can test that the message is being delivered. Use the new account in Thunderbird to send an email to firstname@yoursenecaid.org and then check the contents of /home/firstname/Maildir/new/ on vm3. - there should be a file there with the contents of your email. </li><li>If there isn't one - check the log file /var/log/maillog to see what went wrong. </li><li>If you got it - this is a good time to stop and ponder how it all worked. You've gone through setting up a lot of services. Look at the diagram at the top of the page - which services have you set up?</li></ol>
