  1. How to switch from sendmail to postfix and setup relay for outbound email? I tried to use smarthost for sendmail but didn't work. Then I decided to switch from very complicated sendmail to postfix.
    • install postfix,
    • run "alternatives --config mta" and switch to postfix.
    • Edit /etc/postfix/main.cf, and add or edit this line: relayhost = your.server.com
    • restart postfix
  2. How to forward root email Refer to Help forward root email to me, it's always good idea to forward emails generated by system to a centralized email account.
