What is wrong with my yum :(Sendmail refuses to start ( doesnt give an error ) just doesnt start.Anyway, so i want to use postfix or qmail, but yum doesnt have them in.?
Any ideas how i can get postfix installed? Im getting soo tired of yum not actually having anything useful in it. [root@status1 ~]# cat /etc/redhat-release CentOS release 5.4 (Final)
I had a problem with qmail-smtpd which didn't want to start, throwing a segfault.
Now, it starts but it doesn't live more than 1 sec. I can send emails but can not receive them.
I did a strace:
I have isntalled a server with Centos 5.2 OS, now I would like to switch from the default sendmail to postfix doing a yum install postfix I've noticed there is already available an rpm version for the OS but I would like to compile my own 2.5 version, I've noticed compiling from source does not allow me to use the mail switcher to tell to the system I'm gonna use Postfix instead of Sendmail as the default MTA while this is possible when I use the "official" rpm version of the package. Now my question is this, would this be a problem? There is some specific procedure/best practice I should follow? Or once compiled and configured Postfix I can safely disable/uninstall sendmail?

View 2 Replies View Relatedso i set out to change the default smtp port the server uses because my ISP blocks port 25 and i need the email to work in outlook. this morning i could receive email, but not send it. so i did some research and thought that i needed to edit the master.cf file in /etc/postfix/ by commenting out this line: smtp inet n - n - - smtpd -oand replace it with587 inet n - n - - smtpd (587 being the port i want to use)somewhere along the lines postfix server stopped running and now i cannot get it to start.if i try using SSH it crashes immediately and if i restart it in simple control panel nothing happens

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am still pretty green when it comes to centos and linux in general. I have installed rpm and source packages before with little trouble by following the guides available on the support site and wiki for centos.I am running centos 5.4 on a virtual server.I followed the guide for installing vpopmail at URL...mailSince this is a VPS server I cannot install gnome and is why I opted for vpopmail + qmail.
The first issue I have is: I don't know how to tell qmail to start up automatically because after the install of qmail from source as the guide told me to, it did not place a startup files in the /etc/init.d, and I can't find any useful documentation on how to trouble shoot that.I try to use "chkconfig qmail on" and "chkconfig --level 345 qmail on" but both give me the error "error reading information on service qmail: No such file or directory"The version of qmail I am using is the latest 1.0.3, and the version of vpopmail is 5.5.
Vpopmail seems to be working just fine, as is the mysqlauth mod. I check the vpopmail database in mysql, and all the values I used for the domain and user show up there.The settings also show in the qmail configuration directory files for the domain.My first clue as to something being wrong was that when I send an email to the address I setup, I get nothing delivered on the server, but I also do not get any bounce backs or errors to tell me the details of what went wrong.At first I figured it was my firewall, so I disabled iptables.That did not fix it.I also tried disabling SElinux. That also made no difference.
I have installed qmailrock on my CentOS 5.4, finishing installation until sucees to launch webmail via GUI (squirrelmail). but my smtp service (:25) is always failed to connect.I can telnet on port 110, 80, etc. But on port 25, the result is not shown comment 220 oK.when i check using : qmailctl stat here the result :

/service/qmail-send/log: up (pid 26404) 5 seconds
/service/qmail-smtpd: up (pid 26455) 0 seconds

But I need only user authentication for qmail through ldap (not the backend; i.e still keeping Mysql as the database). I am pretty new to mail server configuration. I have just configured a (q)mail server (which is currently my sand box) and am able send and receive emails. I am planning to add ldap authentication (just that) to it. Can anyone point me to the right direction?

I have a webserver that I run myself utilizing CentOS 5.3. I added a postfix server just to send outgoing mail to people who are part of my webpage. I do not do any email exchange so I can actually receive email on the server, only send (if someone can help me out with that I'm willing to listen).Basically I want to add a disclaimer to the bottom of every email that gets sent out, no matter who sends the email, stating the the email is sent from an unmonitored email account so don't reply to the email. I followed the steps listed here [URL].. even though it was for Fedora 8 it seemed to do what I needed it to do. For some reason no matter who I send email with the disclaimer does not show up. I am doing masquerading so when the email gets send it shows it comes from my domain, not localhost.localdomain because most webservers block it assuming it is spam mail.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI bought an SSL certificate that I am using for my whole website and would like to use that for postfix as well. I created my own as a test and it worked fine, but I want to use the one I bought because that is trusted, more secure, and the user doesn't get an untrusted popup every time they check their mail through outlook.
The problem is that I don't have a defined "key". I have two files, they are two certificate files. One is the website certificate and the other is a bundle certificate. I tried setting bundle as the key and the actual website cert as the certificate but that did not work. Can I do this? Is their a different type of cert I need to buy for this? What do I need to make "smtpd_tls_key_file" and "smtpd_tls_cert_file"?
My two files are, "sf_bundle.crt", and "website.com.crt".
I am new to Linux, moreso to CentOS, but I can definitely follow walk-throughs and tutorials easily enough.
I am installing a webserver for our small business and decided to go the postfix/dovecot route.
I installed everything based on the walkthrough on linuxmailcom and eve put squirrelmail on top, so users can access via webmail. I am able to send mail just fine, users/folders are setup and working as they should for sending, but I am unable to receive any mail. MX records have been updated to direct mail @mydomain to this mailserver machine. The problem I am having is with port 25... If I do 'telnet x.x.x.x 25' I get no response, just a timeout then back to command prompt. My other ports are fine, and I get the banner for each 110, 143, etc... all ports but 25 work internally and externally, forwarded.
I tried turning off firewall rules, and still, nothing from port 25. Should I try to have postfix listen on another port by editing its' master.cf, or is this is problem with my centOS/Linux instead. I didn't know where to go with this, so I thought the best place to start was here.
I would like to disable SSLv2 in Postfix but unfortunately Google has failed to produce a suitable answer. There are numerous posts on blogs and forums and such that do not appear to actually work. For example, one such post (which has been copied about quite a bit) says to use the following main.cf directives:
smtpd_tls_mandatory_protocols = SSLv3, TLSv1
smtpd_tls_mandatory_ciphers = medium, high
But if I run:
$ openssl s_client -connect xxxx.xxxxxxx.xxx:25 -starttls smtp -ssl2
the command is successful and SSLv2 is still negotiated.
The Postfix documentation does not provide an example of this particular case but I don't think it would matter much if it did since I somewhat doubt that anyone other than the developers themselves fully understand how these directives actually work.
How do I disable SSLv2 in Postfix and more generally disable ciphers that are considered to be weak?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a CentOS 5.3 system running a recently installed Postfix (I removed sendmail so I positively know it's running Postfix).
I am able to send out email as user root, but when I change to another user on the same server, the mail delivery fails.
Here's what's captured in the /var/log/maillog:
Here's my main.cf
No changes to other Postfix files since install, so they are the default files.
I'm trying to expand my Courier+MySQL+Postfix+PostfixAdmin server to use SASL logins on Postfix so I can relay on my server. After following several guides I still can't get it to work: Postfix logs show the user transcript and end with "Authentication failure" but it does not tell me what told it that the login failed. The messages log show this:
Feb 19 22:48:55 sportlaan-server saslauthd[7254]: do_auth : auth failure: [user=berend] [service=smtp] [realm=mydomain.com] [mech=pam] [reason=PAM auth error] Which I don't get because I don't think it should be using PAM... I think...
The setup is similar to this one: http://www.howtoforge.org/virtual_users_postfix_courier_mailscanner_clamav_centos_p6
My SASL config has this in it:
/usr/lib/sasl2/smtpd.conf
pwcheck_method: saslauthd
log_level: 3
authdaemond_path: /var/spool/authdaemon/socket
mech_list: plain login
I tried to setup a Postfix system as VM Guest, in a single file image. So I want to store the mails on another hosts throught NFS mount. I got various errors when Postfix try to write to the NFS share. Anyone knows what's the correct setup for this? like file permission on the NFS?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have postfix sort of working correctly. postfix can send email to the internet but it doesn't want to send email to my local exchange server. What I need is for postfix to send emails directed to @xyz.com to my exchange server instead of itself.
My setup
mail.xyz.com - exchange 2003 server
www.xyz.com - centos 5.3 server with postfix
www.xyz.com can send emails to my hotmail.com account so that part works correctly. www.xyz.com can't send email to username@xyz.com. postfix seems to be delivering the email to itself and not the exchange server.
How can I tell postfix to send the @xyz.com emails to my exchange server?
Here is a sample of my /var/log/maillog

Our company is an education training and there are 2 mail servers by used.One is postfix in CentOS,other is WinWebMail in windows2003.
Postfix server has 1 public IP and 1 private IP(192.168.1.224),but WinWebMail only has 1 private IP(192.168.1.253).Bcuz we'll broadcost news of training to students and ourselves,but postfix is cannot do that automaticlly,I guess that that is 2 server are the same domain name in DNS server[URL].The question is Postfix can send all mail but [URL].now I wanna try to used postfix have a routing to WinWebMail server,I mean I add a countant in WinWebMail server,if we wanna send some news to everyone in [URL].The postfix will be tranfor to WinWebMail server,and the WinWebMail broadcost to all of [URL] but now other domain name. how to do that in Postfix server?
