  • If sendmail was installed, stop it first.
$ /etc/init.d/sendmail stop 
  • Install Postfix.
$ apt-get install postfix 
  • Select Internet Site
  • Enter the domain for the mail server.

If receiving email should be done by Google Apps instead of Postfix, edit /etc/postfix/main.cf file.

$ service postfix restart 
  • Test
$ sendmail email@address 
FROM: sender@address
