I know this might sound stupid but I don't have pacman, is there an easy way to get it or a way to do it without it?

Seems like pacman is a arch linux only package manager system.
Yeah I think it is. Though you could probably get it to work in other distributions if you really tried.
Pacman is just a package manager. Use synaptic or apt-get.
Anyone get any idea to help with the one that I listed last post?
Install postfix, do it from the package manager. Find a guide for ubuntu / debian and you'll be pretty close to what you have to do.
Yea i not really getting anywhere as because im stuck on this part:
[code]
[b]Configuration[/b]
[b]Simple mail server[/b]
Now lets configure a simple mail server using some of the packages installed.
Firewall
- Shorewall
Not essential for an EC2 image. It is essential for a normal server.
Basically at first you want to only allow SSH. Then SMTP and IMAP from your IP only.
When you are confident that the mail server is secure, you can open SMTP to the world. If you prefer you can also open IMAP to the world, unless you have a very small client IP range.
Later you may open web access to the webmail and admin gui. This you may also restrict to specific IPs.
SSH only
By default Shorewall in Ubuntu has an empty set up. You can find the default values for Shorewall in /usr/share/doc/shorwall-common/default-config. And examples in /usr/share/doc/shorwall-common/examples. We will create a basic set up.
First configure which network adapters we are accessing the net.
[u] cp /usr/share/doc/shorewall-common/default-config/interfaces /etc/shorewall/ [/u]
[u]vi /etc/shorewall/interfaces net eth0 detect dhcp,tcpflags,logmartians,nosmurfs[/u][/code]
