Postfix is the newer mail program.
/etc/postfix/main.cf
You'll want to set myhostname, myorigin, inet_interfaces, my_destination, and maybe relayhost.
They are pretty self expanitory.
You might also need to look at the firewall.

I just built a new Ubuntu 19.10 server and installed Xymon server on it using the premade apt package. I've got working hosts.cfg, analysis.cfg, and client-local.cfg. The webpage works fine and client data flows in and displays accurately.
I've also configured alerts.cfg to email me for everything, but I'm not receiving any emails in my mailbox. In the past when I've built a xymon server box I installed Sendmail that took care of sending the emails out. But this is 2020 and I'm assuming something else is built into the Xymon Server code that does the emailing. What am I missing here? Do I still need to install a separate mailer?
