It turns out that I cannot use Nullmailer so that Logwatch and other services, like Wordpress, can send email. So I have just now set up Postfix by issuing two first two commands here. I now wonder if there is anything else I need to do post-installation to make sure that Postfix is working properly and is secure.

I've tested to send email through Wordpress and it works.

Note: Postfix will only be used to send outgoing email by the system. User email is managed using Google apps.

The default Ubuntu install should be fine, and secure. Goto a relay tester like Open Relay Test to check no-one can mail through you to spam.

Keeping Postfix up to date with `apt-get update && apt-get upgrade" every now and again should be pretty future proof.

If you have the default install then relaying should be disabled by default. It would be easier to check if you could post your /etc/postfix/main.cf.
