|
|
Install Postfix on Ubuntu 24.04 server.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
This is not a demo and not an experiment.
|
|||
|
|
No installer prompts, no guesswork — reliable and repeatable mail server deployment.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
## Why this installer exists
|
|||
|
|
Postfix itself is simple. The interactive installer is not. This avoids incorrect menu selections.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
## What this installer does
|
|||
|
|
✔ Fully non-interactive setup
|
|||
|
|
✔ Optional mailutils integration
|
|||
|
|
✔ Runs as a proper MTA
|
|||
|
|
✔ Suitable for relay + local delivery
|
|||
|
|
✔ Consistent, repeatable configuration
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
## What this installer does *NOT* do
|
|||
|
|
It won’t stop you from running the script without reading the documentation like there’s no tomorrow.
|
|||
|
|
Skip the README, and whatever happens next is your headache, not a bug report.
