  4. The setup script will prompt you for some information, such as the domain name you want to use for your email server, and the username and password for the email administrator. Follow the prompts carefully, and provide the necessary information as required.

  5. Once the setup script has completed, you can test the email server by sending an email to an external address from the command line. Use the following command to send a test email:

    echo "This is a test email" | mail -s "Test Email" user@example.com
    
  6. If you receive the test email successfully, your email server is up and running. You can now configure your email clients to use the server for sending and receiving emails.
