[08:41] <cha_cha> hey there. would anyone have any good recommendations as to how to set up a mail server?
[08:51] <Ries> cha_cha: that highly depends on your situation I guess, are you an office, an ISP, home user how much mail, how are you connected etc etc
[08:52] <cha_cha> just a home user - this will be my personal email for my personal server
[08:54] <cha_cha> actually let me move forward a bit
[08:54] <cha_cha> im installing postfix right now,
[08:54] <cha_cha> and in the question "local networks?" the default is 127.0.0.0/8
[08:55] <cha_cha> should i leave that alone,
[08:55] <cha_cha> or set it to the server's IP?
[08:56] <skateinmars> youcould set your local ip
[08:56] <skateinmars> something like 192
[08:56] <skateinmars> 192.168.x.y
[09:03] <cha_cha> okay
[09:03] <cha_cha> does it matter though?
[09:03] <skateinmars> i don't know, but I don't think this is really necessary
[09:03] <skateinmars> I have a few tutorials about it but, only in french ;)
[09:04] <cha_cha> haha well okay
[09:06] <cha_cha> okay, when i try to enter echo 'pwcheck_method: saslauthd' >> /etc/postfix/sasl/smtpd.conf in the command, i get an error that says permission denied
[09:06] <cha_cha> i tried sudo first
[09:06] <cha_cha> still didn't work
[09:06] <skateinmars> the > and >> does not work with sudo
[09:07] <cha_cha> remove them?
[09:07] <skateinmars> do a "sudo -s" before to become root and then enter your command with the >
[09:07] <cha_cha> so it should look like this:
[09:07] <cha_cha> sudo -s > (command)
[09:08] <skateinmars> no
[09:08] <skateinmars> first "sudo -s"
[09:08] <skateinmars> then
[09:08] <skateinmars>  echo 'pwcheck_method: saslauthd' >> /etc/postfix/sasl/smtpd.conf
[09:08] <cha_cha> ahh thank you
[09:08] <skateinmars> and "exit" to become a normal user again
[09:08] <cha_cha> okay
[09:08] <skateinmars> nope
