Re: anyone using postfix in a home LAN setup?



While I have have not ever used Postfix is that particular setup, I
can't think of any reasons it wouldn't work.  If you create an MX record
for each host, as you would normally, but simply using internal IPs, it
should work much the same as an Internet-routeable Postfix would.

I'm not quite sure why you would want to run multiple Postfix daemons on
a (presumably) small LAN, but I imagine you do have your reasons:)

Could you maybe describe the particular problem you were having with
it?:)
