10.3: Enable the postfix Mail Transfer Agent
Good tip, I needed to perform the following actions in addition to the ones listed above to make it work. When I first tried launching Postfix I got a bunch of permission errors, as well as an error that the group 'postdrop' did not exist. I'm not sure if this is just because of my particular setup or what, but the following might be useful to others.
I created the group 'postdrop' using sharepoints (I find it easier than with netinfo) I had the change the permissions on all folders in /private/var/spool/postifx to be owned by the user postfix:
Then change the group of the 2 folders /private/var/spool/postfix/maildrop and /private/var/spool/postfix/public to 'postdrop'
Lastly postfix startup complained if /usr/sbin/postqueue and /usr/sbin/postdrop were not owned by group postdrop:
After that postfix starts and stops with no complaint and seems to send out mail perfectly.
