Postfix is a popular and highly configurable mail transfer agent (MTA) that is commonly used as a replacement for Sendmail in most UNIX-like systems. This tutorial will guide you through the installation process of Postfix on Kali Linux Latest.
Before installing Postfix on Kali Linux Latest, ensure that you have:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install postfix
During installation, the Postfix Configuration Wizard will appear.
Select Internet Site as the Postfix configuration type, and press Enter.
Enter your Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) that you want to use for the email server.
If you're unsure about the FQDN, select the OK button to use the default server hostname.
During the installation process, you will be prompted to configure a list of mail servers.
Add the appropriate mail servers to the list by typing in the hostname and pressing Enter. Repeat this step for each mail server.
Once the mail server configuration is complete, Postfix will be installed on your Kali Linux Latest system.
Verify that Postfix is running by running the following command:
sudo systemctl status postfix
