Article Title: postfix + dovecot + mysql + postfixadmin. Linux is a technology channel of the IT lab in China. Some basic categories, such as desktop applications, Linux system management, kernel research, embedded systems, and open-source systems, have been tested for postfix recently. It is found that postfix + dovecot is easy to configure, and dovecot is a rising star, next, let's take a look at how I set it up. Mai server System: ubuntu server 9.04 testing Domain Name: ludy. comIP address: 192.168.6.121 Testing Machine System: XP # Add MX ing on your DNS server: in mx 10 mail.ludy.com. the steps for installing mail in a 192.168.6.121 are as follows. You can omit the bind9 part because I am an internal test, so install the internal DNS. I. install the DNS server, bind9.shell I installed $> apt-get install bind9 ##### modify the domain name resolution main file ####### shell $> vim/etc/bind/named. conf. localzone "ludy.com "{
