Hello, I try search for postfix configuration in your [docs](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/x-pack/current/actions-email.html#configuring-email) but I cannot find any related info. Can you help me with this? Basically I want send email alerts (Watcher) from my ELK stack 6.5 using local postfix (already configured). How to do it? Thank you. ---

Hey, so you have to sent email to localhost I assume ```auto xpack.notification.email.account.my_account.smtp.port: 25 xpack.notification.email.account.my_account.smtp.host: "localhost" ``` Hope this helps! --Alex
