Hi Rin




It is easy enough to setup with either postfix or exim4 to send mail directly from the host.  BUT, the most important thing is to have your networking properly setup ie. you must have a fully qualified domain name and make sure that hostname and /etc/hosts is correct.  If you don't have this, you need to take a different approach by relaying to some other smarthost.




I'll outline the procedure for exim4:




install exim4 with 'sudo apt-get install exim4'. Then configure with:




sudo dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config





Then working through the screens ...




1.  Select the option for "internet site; mail is sent directly through smtp"




2.  The system mail name should be your fqdn (eg.  dhis2.somewhere.org)




3.  Make sure smtp listener only listens on localhost (127.0.0.1 ; ::1)




4.  leave "other destinations for which mail is accepted" blank





5.   leave "domains to relay for" blank




6.   leave "machines to relay for" blank




Just accept defaults for everything else.




Try sending yourself a mail by typing:




mail rin.channara@xxxxxxxxx




(finish the mail by just typing a dot on a line on its own)




Beware the mail may well be sent but end up in your spam.




Check 'sudo tail /var/log/exim4/mainlog' to see what happened.




Bob
