Basic Mail (Postfix) Setup
This lab will show you how to set up a Postfix email server using a Fedora 13 installed PC.
*You will need at least two systems to do this lab. The first could be Fedora on your removable hard drive while the second could be a virtual machine.
{{Admon/important|Prerequistites|Your hard drive should have Fedora 1316, 64 bit Live edition already installed.<br />You should have at least one VM installed: also Fedora 13, 64 bit Live edition<br />Both your host and guest should have default firewalls enabled.<br />Both host and guest should have all software updated.<br />Ensure the clocks on both machines are set to the correct date and time.}}
=== Testing your network ===
*Start Firefox on your host and authenticate yourself on Sene2net with your LEARN account.
===Testing email to the outside world using mailx and sendmail===
*Sendmail is installed and running by default on Fedora 13 16 so there is no need to install it.
*Install mailx on both the host and the guest.
yum install mailx
=== Learning the mail command ===
*Read the mail manual page and learn how it works.
