HOWTO: Setup Exim to talk to postfix for local email
To talk to my postfix mail server for local internal email from other hosts on my side of the router, i.e. local mail. (usually mail to root). Install and configure postfix.
sudo apt-get install postfix
This will automatically run the configure script. I used these options
sudo dpkg-reconfigure postfix
Assuming my system has:
- a hastname of workstation
- a domain of example.com
- the real mail server is mail.example.com
- mail to root is redirected to someuser as it will not be delivered to root on the mail server
General type of mail configuration: Satellite system
System mail name: workstation.example.com
SMTP relay host (blank for none): mail.example.com
Root and postmaster mail recipient: someuser
Other destinations to accept mail (blank for none): This is blank
And that was all there was to it.
