Hi,

I am trying to setup a mailserver in BT5(ubuntu), to have outlook in my XP virtual machine to connect to BT5 to get email(no internet connection). What I am trying to do is to setup a mail environment to fool any windows malware that is trying to mail itself. However, I don't know how to do this. I installed Outlook and pointed to the BT5 machine as my mail server (bt.foo.org), on the BT5 machine I installed postfix, but I can't get it to work properly. Meaning that my windows machine fails to connect to the mail server. I am still reading documentation about this. SO if you have done this before, let me know what did you use and how you went about it.
