Making a mail server
I am attemping to create my own mail server. I was told to use postfix, but from my google searches it seems that there is a lot more than just configuring postfix which I have done. Is this true? If so, I was wondering if anyone could let me know what else I need to install.

Also, how do I go about actually sending an email out through postfix.

I am new to unix, so I appreciate all your help.

postfix-nochroot

postfix-nochroot(8)					      System Manager's Manual					       postfix-nochroot(8)

NAME

       postfix-nochroot - change /etc/postfix/master.cf to not use chroot

SYNOPSIS

       postfix-nochroot

DESCRIPTION

       Renames /etc/postfix/master.cf to /etc/postfix/master.cf.bak and creates a new /etc/postfix/master.cf file with every service configured to
       not use chroot.	Every modified line is commented.  It also restarts Postfix (to apply the change) and rmoves the unused chroot directories
       /var/spool/postfix/{etc,lib,usr} .

       Using a chroot environment makes upgrades more difficult and gets in the way when running SE Linux (without actually providing any security
       benefit in a SE Linux system).
