+ | **WARNING** :!: I cannot recommend this solution at all! It turned out that the Raspberry Pi, when it uses the **USB 3** interface, produces **radio interferences on the 2.4 GHz spectrum** that you cannot reliably connect to the 2.4 GHz WiFi. I was unable to connect to my WiFi access point which is only 5 meters far. It was also **impossible to use a wireless keyboard and mouse** using the USB dongle which also operates on the 2.4 GHz. To operate the **wireless gamepad** (which also uses an USB dongle on the 2.4 GHz frequencies) I had to distantiate the dongle from the Raspberry Pi using and USB **extension cable of about 0.5 meters**. | ||

+ | Due this **severe problem**, I can suggest this solution only if you will use the **Ethernet** interface or an access point on the **5 Ghz** band. As an alternative to the wireless gamepad or keyboard, you can use the **[[https:// | ||

- | ===== Mail system ===== | ||
- | |||
- | I want a working **mail system** on the NAS, mainly because I want to eventually receive error messages from the various subsystems, think e.g. at the **smartd** daemon watching for S.M.A.R.T. hard drive errors... | ||
- | |||
- | In the following examples **pimedianas** is the hostname of my Raspberry Pi Mediacenter NAS. I istalled the **postfix** package and configured it as **satellite system** using a **SMTP relay host**. The relevant settings in **/ | ||
- | |||
- | < | ||
- | myhostname = pimedianas | ||
- | mydestination = $myhostname, | ||
- | relayhost = mail.example.org: | ||
- | default_transport = smtp | ||
- | relay_transport = smtp | ||
- | myorigin = $myhostname | ||
- | # Rewrite some sender addresses. | ||
- | sender_canonical_maps = hash:/ | ||
- | # Relay host requires SASL authentication. | ||
- | smtp_sasl_auth_enable = yes | ||
- | smtp_sasl_password_maps = hash:/ | ||
- | smtp_sasl_mechanism_filter = plain, login | ||
- | smtp_sasl_security_options = | ||
- | smtp_tls_security_level = may | ||

- | The content of **/ | ||

- | root | ||
- | root@pimedianas | ||
- | root@localhost | ||
- | root@localhost.localdomain pimedianas@example.org | ||
- | </ | ||
- | |||
- | Write the proper info about **localhost** in **/ | ||
- | |||
- | < | ||
- | 127.0.1.1 | ||
- | </ | ||
- | |||
- | Finally I had to put my **SMTP credentials** required by the relaying server into **/ | ||
- | |||
- | < | ||
- | mail.example.org pimedianas: | ||
- | </ | ||
- | |||
- | Last but not least, I redirected all the mail for root to my real email address in **/ | ||
- | |||
- | < | ||
- | root: | ||
- | </ | ||
- | |||
- | Remember to compile all the files and restart the service: | ||
- | |||
- | < | ||
- | postmap / | ||
- | postmap / | ||
- | newaliases | ||
- | systemctl restart postfix.service | ||
- | </ | ||
- | |||
- | Now all the locally generated mails addressed to **root**, **%%root@pimedianas%%**, | ||
