Build postfix mailbox Service in Linux

Introduction

Postfix is an MTA (mail transfer agent) software developed by Wietse Venema under the GPL agreement of IBM. Postfix is an attempt by Wietse Venema to provide alternatives to the most widely used sendmail. In the Internet world, most e-mails are delivered via SendMail, and about 1 million users use SendMail to deliver billions of emails a day. This is really a surprising number. Postfix tries to be faster, easier to manage and more secure, while still maintaining sufficient compatibility with sendmail.
