Networking Configuration
To configure email from the web interface, select:
Configuration → Networking → Mail
or
Configuration → All options → Networking → Mail Transfer Agent (e-mail service)
To configure email from the command line, start gconfig, select Networking
from the top level menu and then select Mail Transfer Agent (e-mail service).
7.5.1 Configurable parameters
The configurable parameters for email are contained on a single form.
Enable MTA: Used to control whether the mail transfer agent is started
automatically at boot time. If this check-box is left clear, the MTA can still be
started manually from the services menu (see section 14.3.5 on page 234).
Smart host: Most email configurations use a “smart host” to route mail. This
can greatly simplify the administration: only one node on a network, the
smart host, needs to be configured to know about any intricacies of the system
and all other machines need only know the location of the smart host. If the
Smart host text field is populated with the name or address of of such a host,
all mail is sent directly to that host for further routing. If this field is left
blank, the MTA will attempt to use DNS to discover the mail host(s) for any
given address and then deliver mail directly.
Mail host identity: Specifies the hostname from which outgoing emails
should appear to originate. If this field is left blank, the real hostname is
used.
Postmaster alias: Specifies the address to which all internally generated mail
should be sent: This should be set to the email address of the acquisition
module's administrator.
