<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 your '''vm3''' machine. There should be a file there with the contents of your email.</li><li>If there is no file, then check the log file '''/var/log/maillog''' to see what went wrong.</li><li>If you can see a file in the '''/home/firstname/Maildir/new/''' directory, then review the procedures on how you got it - this is a good time to stop the email server working (since you have performed many steps and ponder how it all worked. You've gone through setting set up a lot of many services).</li><li>Look at Refer to the diagram at the top of the pagethis lab. Which services have you currently set up?Record your findings in your lab Logbook.</li></ol>
