== INVESTIGATION 1: SETTING UP MTA FOR RECEIVING EMAIL ==
=== Specifying Which Domains are Used to Delivered the "Received" Mail Messages===
<ol><li value="5">Restart your postfix service. Note that dovecot-lda is just a program invoked by Postfix, it doesn't have an associated service.</li></ol>
=== Sending a Mail Message from VM2 and Viewing Received Message in VM3 (Via Using Thunderbird)===
First use netstat and telnet to confirm your service is listening on the correct ports/interfaces. You will probably have to open the appropriate firewall port on vm3 to allow incoming SMTP connections.
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?
== INVESTIGATION 2: READING EMAIL MESSAGES = Viewing Received Mail Message on VM3 VIA IMAP (Using Thunderbird) ===
Finally we'll set up the IMAP server so we can read email. The way we've set it up - all the email for anyaccount@yoursenecaid.org should end up on vm3. We will set up Dovecot (with IMAP, IMAPS in a later lab) to get easy access to that email.
