I am trying to automate a procedure and when a certain condition is met I would like to notify the user with an automated mail using the **mail** command.
The thing is, that the messages are not being send and as far as I understood there are some configurations that have to be made first.
The thing is that when I go with
sudo dpkg-reconfigure postfix
in order to modify it I am not completely sure about what to fill there.
- 1 - The first page asks for System mail name
- 2 - The second one asks
for root and postmaster mail recipients
- 3 - Other destinations to
accept mail
- 4 - Force synchronous mail queue Y/N
- 5 - Local networks
(this was pre-filled)
- 6 - Mailbox size
- 7 - Local address extension
character
- 8 - Protocols (ipv6, ipv4) # I selected them both
But I really need help with 1,2,3,5,7 because when i try to send a test mail I do not receive anything
Thank you in advance
