Usage instructions
For extensive instructions see: http://charmingcloud.net/mail-server-linux-postfix-using-mysql-tons-users/ Before logging into to your server via ssh, you need to make sure that you first set up an elastic IP address and DNS records. You need to setup the DNS with both an A record and an MX record. You need to first attach an Elastic IP to your instance, this way the IP address will not change when the server is turned off and on. Follow these instuctions: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/elastic-ip-addresses-eip.html You then need your DNS to have an A record to point to the IP address of the server. The A record is the domain or sub-domain that you plan to use for this server. You then need to make an MX record point to that A record. This makes the Instance open to receive email from the rest of the Universe. After setting up the DNS you can login to your Server Instance. To login go to your AWS EC2 panel, click on your new instance and follow the login instructions to SSH login. We have written some charming scripts to get your email server up and running. When asked ALL PASSWORDS are the Instance-ID found in EC2 panel to add your domain to Linux and Postfix sudo addyourmaildomain DOMAIN-THAT-YOU-ADDED-MX-RECORD Add additional Domains that have DNS setup sudo addpostfixdomains.sh ANOTHER-DOMAIN-THAT-YOU-ADDED-MX-RECORD Add users to receive email sudo addpostfixuser.sh USERNAME@DOMAIN-THAT-YOU-ADDED-MX-RECORD
