Sendmail is an open-source email solution that helps in managing your email communication efficiently. Here is a step-by-step tutorial on how to install Sendmail on EndeavourOS Latest:
Before starting the installation process, update the EndeavourOS system to ensure it has the latest packages installed. Open the terminal and run the following command:
sudo pacman -Syu
Next, we install Sendmail by running the following command in the terminal:
sudo pacman -S sendmail
This command will download and install the Sendmail package along with its dependencies from the default EndeavourOS repository.
After installing Sendmail, we need to configure it for our system. The Sendmail configuration file is located at /etc/mail/sendmail.cf.
Open the Sendmail configuration file in the terminal using your preferred text editor. For example, using the Nano editor:
sudo nano /etc/mail/sendmail.cf
Update the following parameters as required:
# myhostname=host.domain.tld: Uncomment this line and replace host.domain.tld with your system's hostname.
# mydomain=localhost: Uncomment this line and replace localhost with your domain name.
# myorigin=$mydomain: Uncomment this line to set the origin domain for outgoing mail. By default, it is set to $mydomain.
Save the changes and exit the text editor.
Now we start the Sendmail daemon by running the following command in the terminal:
sudo systemctl start sendmail.service
To ensure that the Sendmail service starts automatically at boot time, run the following command:
sudo systemctl enable sendmail.service
To test the Sendmail configuration, run the following command to send a test email:
echo "This is a test email" | sendmail -v <your-email-address>
Replace <your-email-address> with your email address. You should receive the test email in your inbox shortly.
In this tutorial, you learned how to install and configure Sendmail on EndeavourOS Latest. With this powerful email solution, you can manage your email communication with ease.
