The aim of Project,we see how mail transfer system was working,and how configurations were doing in linux field.Those configurations are necessary for mail transfer.

We have created virtual domain through postfixadmin interface.Then we have opened virtual users over those domains.

What is the PostfixAdmin Configuration Tool?

Postfix, is the default Mail Transfer Agent for Ubuntu.Receives emails via the SMTP protocol and delivers them to different places on your hard disk.

Basic SMTP Commands

Firstly via sudo su command admin which is also called root help us to get the authorization.

So it wont ask for authorization in each progress. After that via /etc/init.d/postfix start commands we start postfix. After doing it (with the order) we use commands like helo ,mail from, rcpt

to. The basic SMTP commands are:Helo,mail,rcpt,data,quit. We make the correctment of mail's cd /var/mail to see the mail which sent

to <root@localhost>. We make Correction with ls -la command. Then with using mutt -f sahin command we can get the user (Mail user

agent) sahin and see the mails which is sent for the user Sahin

Sending mail on Localhost

Lists ALL the files and directories in the /var/mail directory

Looking mail on MUTT
