Hi,
I can send mail linux server’s user by Telnet. But I cannot receive for real email. It means I cannot send to outside. How can I configure postfix or others?
Thanks,

Hi,
I am sending an email through our server which is running ubuntu 8.04.
Our webhosting is located in America. When I send an email to an email address that doesn’t exist, I don’t get a bounce back error message. If I send and email directly to the webhosting email server, and the email address doesn’t exist, I do get a bounce back.
If I send an email through our server through a different webhosting located in Australia, and the email address doesn’t exist, I do get a bounce back.
Does anyone know how I can rectify this that I can receive a bounce back email from the webhosting in America if the email address doesn’t exist?
Thanks
Lindsay

Hi Lindsay,
You’ll have to contact your webhosting in America to fix that issue.

Hi A.Selvakumar,
Sorry but I’m not familiar with Lotus Notes.

Ok.Could you tell me, how to bring all the users list from postfix mail server to the mail-clients address book.

Hi Selvakumar.A,
Sorry, that’s not possible. Postfix is a mail server only. You need LDAP for that which is a totally different service. See my Fedora Directory Server article.
