install postfix and store all incoming mails in MySQL DB

i cant config. postfix correcly, could someone please help me with that?

the google results i find, aren't really helping me..

its about a problem i try to solve for weeks now..

so: i need to be able to receive emails that are sent to email adresses using my Domain name, for example(), this email will contain informations as a string, which i need to store in my database. getting the information is not a problem, ad i would just do that with php or node.js. all i need help with, is receiving emails and storing the body of those mails in my database ad strings. i couldn't really find helpful answers in the web, cause all those solutions are for full mail servers that send, receive and filter spam and viruses, what i obviously don't need! also all these answers i found assume that you have high level skills in what you do*ubuntu and mailservers*, which i really dont have..

im currently working on an Project which will help me finance my Collage, which starts october this year, when collage starts, i wont have time to finish my project, so 8 months of hard work would be destroyed=/.. therefore i really need your help to finish this.

what i have so far: i have an ubuntu vSerber, it has mysql and so on, so all i need is the software to receive emails. i also have bought a domain.

please tell me now what i need, i have installed postfix, but how do i need to config. it? i cant get it started..=/ ad what else do i need to install to ensure that all received mails are directly stored in my database?

please just answer if you know anything:) it would help me a lot!

tnak you!

Since you want to use node.js anyway, take a look at this simple smtp-server written in node.js:

configuration of postfix. solltest dich aber an die sprache hier halten.
