FYI. Looks like that copycat website is still up (or maybe they just changed hosting providers?), 2 months later.

I want to set up Ubunti 9.04 as a mail server sharing the internet connection using squid to replace our existing Redhat 9.
Can anyone help me please?

Hi,
Thanks for your tutorial.
But I need to do some updates like:
sudo aptitude update

But it appears I need to be connected to the Net.
Please could you let men know how I can do this?
Thanks!

Shimona.

[...] MTAs (Mail Transfer Agents) can be a tricky lot to set up. Add in to the mix something like relaying and you have all the ingredients for an installation NOT working. Fortunately Postfix isn’t nearly as complicated as Sendmail, so relaying isn’t something you need guru-level access to solve. In this tutorial I am going to show you how to set up Postfix for easy relaying. You can always add this to the Ubuntu Server series that started with the article “Installing Ubuntu Server 9.04“.

Today, after my second follow up email to the profithost abuse department, I received this response: “We apologize for the late reply. This customer was allready contacted and is scheduled for termination after the current (monthly) billing period in the case of no response.”

Hopefully, at the end of September, that site will be no more.

I reviewed that site further, and found that every single article on the site is stolen content. I’m just an innnocent bystander, but I can’t stand sites like that. So, I tracked down his hosting provider, and found the abuse department (abuse@profithost.net). The abuse department is currently reviewing the case. If I don’t hear back from them within the next few days, I plan to start contacting the legal departments of some of the larger companies this guy has stolen content from (such as ZDNet).

Of this article that was made to the site that was mentioned on the previous comment?

Well, the installation of Ubuntu and its little brother the server edition is pretty much self-explainatory, even for someone doing it the first time.

It is afterwards where things get really interesting and challenging.

For people not used to a text console, like most computer users these days,
the learning curve is quite steep, but very, very rewarding if you pull it through.

Maybe you could do some followups on this article, like
installing and using ssh to remotely administer your linux root server or
compiling and installing torrentflux from scratch or
compiling and installing amuled + amuleweb from scratch.

I assure you those are quite the challenges for someone doing it the very first time.
Installing the server os seems like a walk in the park in retrospective.

Yes, I assumed it was your content, because the copy even includes “here on Ghacks.” which is how I knew to look for your copy here.

It’s unfortunate. People like this steal content from all over the web, then try to earn ad revenue from it. I’ve run into this a lot with my personal blog. Imagine my shock when I saw my content on the front page of Digg, but not pointing to my site. Sad thing is, they are usually happy to take it down because they’ve usually already achieved most of the hits from the article initially hitting aggregators.

Dan: I just wrote this article this morning. It is original I can assure you. It looks like the site you pointed to has copied my work. Thank you for bringing this to my attention.
