# postfix installation; best with debian - no configuration - choose
# install
apt-get install postfix

# Example for /etc/postfix/main.cf:

myhostname = pdfserver.domain.tld
mydomain = domain.tld
mydestination =  $mydomain 
myorigin = $mydomain
alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases 
alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases 

# Any private email server, which is used as a smart host.
# relay host =  mail.domain.tld
mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8   	#, any IP address of your email server
message_size_limit = 51200000 	# size of your own email server to adapt

# create an alias for the redirection of email:
Datei /etc/aliases:
pdf:	"|/usr/local/bin/pdf-konverter.sh"

# and translate the table still in the database format for postfix:
postalias  /etc/aliases
