Ashika Umanga Umagiliya asked:
I noticed that one of our servers (running Ubuntu) can send mails to any domain (yahoo.com ,gmail.com) using simple “sendmail” command.
But I cannot figure out how to configure similar setup in a new server. I cannot see any files such as “/etc/mail/sendmail.cf” in the first server.
How does this work ? Does it use some other SMTP server to do actual mail delivery? Where can I find these settings?
My answer:
It’s probably running postfix, not sendmail. The sendmail command is provided mainly for cross-compatibility.
You’ll find the configuration files for postfix in /etc/postfix and documentation at the Postfix homepage.
