It really is helpful to get an email from the various pieces of equipment when they have problems, so yes I will invest the time and just maybe learn something. Saul - I looked at your link, but if I need to use ldap, Fedora has that pre-packaged, I'll use and learn that. Ryan - looked at your link, pretty much is what I have seen googleing around the internet myself, it does have a couple of points about some things in dovecot that I will check out. Before I added dovecot, postfix was delivering email to the super user account on the server, it's just that I would like to get everything at the workstation. As for using how-tos for Ubuntu on a Fedora machine - meh, aside from some trivial differences in installing packages, and starting-up applications at boot-up, the procedures for running the applications is mostly the same (same config files). Systemd does give you some helpful data: $ sudo systemctl status postfix.service postfix.service - Postfix Mail Transport Agent Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/postfix.service; enabled) Active: active (running) since Sun 2015-08-02 15:25:05 CDT; 17h ago Main PID: 28200 (master) CGroup: /system.slice/postfix.service ├─ 2163 pickup -l -t unix -u ├─ 3292 trivial-rewrite -n rewrite -t unix -u ├─ 3293 smtp -t unix -u ├─ 3294 bounce -z -n defer -t unix -u ├─ 3463 cleanup -z -t unix -u ├─ 3464 local -t unix ├─28200 /usr/libexec/postfix/master -w └─28202 qmgr -l -t unix -u Aug 03 09:00:09 server.atsome.com postfix/smtp[3293]: 1E03E4C03DB: to=<me at workstation.atsome.com>, orig_to=<root at server.atsome.com>, relay=none, delay=63380, delays=63380/0.02/0/0,...ute to host) Aug 03 09:01:39 server.atsome.com postfix/pickup[2163]: AF0B54C05C9: uid=0 from=<root> Aug 03 09:01:39 server.atsome.com postfix/cleanup[3463]: AF0B54C05C9: message-id=<20150803140139.AF0B54C05C9 at server.atsome.com> Aug 03 09:01:39 server.atsome.com postfix/qmgr[28202]: AF0B54C05C9: from=<root at server.atsome.com>, size=457, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Aug 03 09:01:39 server.atsome.com postfix/cleanup[3463]: B96974C05C3: message-id=<20150803140139.AF0B54C05C9 at server.atsome.com> Aug 03 09:01:39 server.atsome.com postfix/qmgr[28202]: B96974C05C3: from=<root at server.atsome.com>, size=599, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Aug 03 09:01:39 server.atsome.com postfix/local[3464]: AF0B54C05C9: to=<me at server.atsome.com>, relay=local, delay=0.11, delays=0.07/0.01/0/0.03, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (forwarde...B96974C05C3) Aug 03 09:01:39 server.atsome.com postfix/qmgr[28202]: AF0B54C05C9: removed Aug 03 09:01:39 server.atsome.com postfix/smtp[3293]: connect to workstation.atsome.com[XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX]:25: No route to host Aug 03 09:01:39 server.atsome.com postfix/smtp[3293]: B96974C05C3: to=<me at workstation.atsome.com>, orig_to=<me at server.atsome.com>, relay=none, delay=0.03, delays=0.03/0/0/0, dsn=...ute to host) Hint: Some lines were ellipsized, use -l to show in full.
