SETUP MAIL SERVER USING POSTFIX DOVECOT AND SQUIRRELMAIL in Centos
/RHEL/ Scientific Linux 6.3 step by step..............
Step 1. - Before installing postfix, remove sendmail from the server.
Because sendmail is the
default MTA in Redhat / Centos
[root@server~] # yum remove sendmail
Prerequisites :
1) The mail server should contain a valid MX record in the DNS server.
2) Firewall and selinux should be disabled.
[bash]# service iptables stop
[bash]# service ip6tables stop
[bash]# chkconfig iptables off
[bash]# chkconfig ip6tables off
[bash]# vi /etc/selinux/config
# This file controls the state of Selinux on the system
# SELINUX= can take one of these three values
# enforcing - SELINUX security policy is enforced
# permissive - SELINUX prints warnings instead of enforcing
# disabled - No Selinux policy is loaded.
SELINUX=disabled
#SELINUXTYPE= can take one of these two values :
# targeted - Targeted processes are protected.
# mls - Multi level security protection.
SELINUXTYPE=targeteted.
:wq
Step 2 : Reboot the server .

Scenario
In this tutorial my test box
Hostname =server.ostechnix.com
IP address : 192.168.1.200/24
And my server is configured with proper MX record in DNS server
Installation
---------------
[bash]# yum install postfix
Configuration
-------------------
Open the postfix config file /etc/postfix/main.cf. Find the below lines and edit
them as shown below:-
[bash]# vi /etc/postfix/main.cf
myhostname = server.ostechnix.com ## Line no. 75 - uncmment and enter your host
name
mydomain = ostechnix.com ## Line no. 83 - uncomment and enter your domain name
myorigin = $mydomain ## Line no. 99 - uncomment
inet_interfaces = all ## line no. 116- change to all
mydestination = $myhostname , localhost.$mydomain, llocalhost, $mydomain ## lin
e no 164 - add $domain at the end
mynetworks= 192.168.1.0/24 , 127.0.0.1/8 ## line no. 204 - uncomment the line
