Linux Email Services - Configuring Postfix
The applications team at Eucalyptus and Lavender, Inc. have requested an email account to test mail functionality with their application. Since this will be the first Linux email server for the company, you have been asked to install and configure a basic Postfix email server. To complete this lab: - Install, start, and enable the Postfix service, if needed. - Configure the service with the following information: - `myhostname` is `node1.mylabserver.com` - `mydomain` is `mylabserver.com` - Install `mailx` and send a test email to the cloud_user account to test your configuration. Good luck!
