Hi there,

I have attached the notes I gathered while making the postfix server
that is sending you this mail. In particular, pay attention to the
bit that says:

As part of the installation the port asks if it could add user
"postfix" to group "mail", I advise answering yes. It also offers to
activate postfix in /etc/mail/mailer.conf, again answer yes.

Regards, Tim.
