RE: Dovecot versus Postfix

<SNIP>

Fortunately for Ubuntu users, it's well documented here:

https://help.ubuntu.com/7.04/server/C/email-services.html


How come when you go to https://help.ubuntu.com/ there isn't a SEARCH field
? I have been there many, MANY, times and never found the page you suggest
by clicking on the links provided ... :O(

First question; It says "Replace mail.example.com with your mail server
hostname" Where can one look to find out what my mail server hostname is?
I'm assuming that it is "Ubuntu", or would that be "Ubuntu.localdomain"


<snip>

Hmmm, I don't think I have other hosts.

Hosts = computers. Do you have any other computers in your
home network?

Yes, of course, even my son's Wii is on the network ... :O)

You don't need DHCP for internet access to work,, you just need to
configure the default gateway and Domain name server as well as the
static IP.. In your case, I think both (default router gateway and
Domain Name server) should be set to 192.168.1.1 and you should be ok.

There mst be some security feature of the, and I probably should ahve noted
this before, Linksys WIRELESS DSL rounter I'm using. It is the standard off
the store shelf box with 4 ports on the back to plug in Cat5 cables and the
WAN port to connect to the DSL modem. For some reason if the built-in DHCP
doesn't hand the device its IP address the gateway won't let you out on the
Internet, even if you assign an address 1 number away or 10 numbers away or
even 100 numbers away. If the DHCP didn't give you the address you ain't
going nowhere but on the local LAN. Probably some setting someplace that I
can turn off to change this behaviour. I've always assumed that this was
some security feature to prevent, or at least impede some rogue wireless
access pretending to be part of the LAN and chewing up my high speed
bandwidth.


Dovecot is the IMAP server. You don't need to add any accounts to
Dovecot itself. In a simple, default configuration, it uses
your unix
user accounts.

Excellent, that makes things easy to administer.
