Postfix Problem under mailx/sendmail command
Update: Problem solved with this command: /opt/soc/bin/postfix-setup

================================
Hi,

I am trying the following mailx command:

Code:
sadm@edwardwi-z:/etc$ mailx ewijaya@gmail.com
Subject: test
foo .
.
EOT

But it gives the following error

Code:
sadm@edwardwi-z:/etc$ mail: fatal: open /etc/postfix/main.cf: No such file or directory

I can't seem to find "main.cf" but the location of postfix is this:

Code:
root@edwardwi-z:/opt/postfix/sbin# ls
postalias  postconf   postfix    postlock   postmap    postsuper
postcat    postdrop   postkick   postlog    postqueue

I do have SU access to this. I'm using Solaris btw.

How can I fix such problem? So that I can successfuly email using mailx?

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).
