How to Install and Run the postfix Service

1. Disable the sendmail service.

   # svcadm disable sendmail

2. Disable the sendmail client.

   # svcadm disable sendmail-client

3. Change the sendmail mediator to the postfix implementation.

   # pkg set-mediator -I postfix sendmail

4. Configure your domain name.

   Note -  If your host name is fully qualified, such as host.example.com, then you can skip the postconf step.
