General :: Safe To Remove Sendmail By Running "yum Erase Sendmail" And Let Postfix Handles "mailx" Also?
Sep 5, 2010I have installed postfix and dovecot on my server and thought postfix will not only take SMTP connection from my e-mail client like Outlook, but also handles "mailx" commands from the server. However, it looks like sendmail is still responsible for sending mails from "mailx". I tested this by turning it on/off using "service sendmail stop" and "service sendmail start". Mails sent using "mailx" will only be sent when sendmail is up. When I did "yum info sendmail", it lists sendmail as an installed package. Is is safe to remove sendmail by running "yum erase sendmail", and let postfix handles "mailx" also?

Oct 14, 2010I need to control sendmail or mailx from a file. The file will have the receprent as the first line, Subject: has the second line, etc. From what I can find with Google the only why to define the target and subject is on the command line?

CentOS 5 :: Sendmail Stopped Working After Latest Updates
May 31, 2010We are running CentOS 5.4 x86 on ESX 4 Server. We have a busy Help Desk, a Forum and several name-based websites running. Weve been using CentOS for this 'purpose for several years (different versions) and so far we have never had a problem. On Saturday, I applied all the latest updates including the Kernel updates. I rebooted the server and all seemed well until Sunday morning when I didn't get my Logwatch in the mail. Then I got a telephone call from a customer asking me why I hadn't responded to a Trouble Ticket he had created on Saturday afternoon (creating a TT sends an email via sendmail to all the support staff). I did a few tests and sendmail has just stopped working. The Logwatch had been created and had been sent to root, but all mail for root is redirected to my Mail Server on e different box (GroupWise). There was nothing wrong with the mail server, but sendmail has just stopped.
Fortunately I had created a snapshot before I applied the updates, so I reverted back to the snapshot and mail started working again, but I lost 2 days info because I had run the backup before I applied the patches. Now I see there are 132 Updates available, but there is obviously a problem somewhere in there!
Fedora :: Mailx Command Isn't Working?
Jan 28, 2010I am trying to email some log files from my RHEL 5.3 server to my Outlook corporate account and nothing happens. Here is the command I use:[root@server1]# mailx -s "server info" my_id@my_corporate_domain < server_infoThe file server_info does exist and is a small log file. I checked for sendmail and seems to be running OK as follows:
[root@server1]# ps -ef | grep -i mail
root 13954 1 0 2009 ? 00:00:00 sendmail: accepting connections
smmsp 13962 1 0 2009 ? 00:00:00 sendmail: Queue runner@01:00:00 for /var/spool/clientmqueue
I'm not at all familiar with mail clients or mail system in Linux. Is there anything missing? I don't have to use mailx, I could use an alternative. Just please let me know how to sent a simple mail from this server to my corporate account using any tools possible (and maybe how to set it up)

Jun 22, 2010I recently set up an email server at work on a ubuntu box, running exim4. Everything seems to be working fine, but when I try to change the "from" header in the message, its not letting me.
I wanted to send a message from the root user as "admin".
I assumed this would be easy as:
Code:
mailx -r admin recepientname
but for some reason the mailx program is claiming that "-r" is not a legitimate tag, when I try it tells me:

Server :: Configure Procmail For Sendmail But Its Not Working?

CentOS 5 :: Sendmail Upgrade For PCI Compliance?
Sep 15, 2010I'm working with a vendor on getting a web site certified for Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard for processing our credit card transactions. The vendor's running Centos 5 (which we also run at my business). The current issue has to do with sendmail, which the required PCI security scans say should be upgraded to 8.14.4. However, the vendor points out that latest version packaged for yum on Centos 5 is 8.13.8.
I'm still somewhat of a newbie at this, but from my reading, it seems that installing the 8.14.4 sendmail means using 3rd party repositories and potentially breaking the system. I browsed through "Installing RPMforge" on Centos wiki, which notes that a complete listing of the over 4000 RPMforge packages is at [URL]. Scanning that link shows sendmail packages with lower numbers than what's currently installed, 8.13.8. All I see on sendmail.org are tarballs of the latest verson, 8.14.4, available 2009-12-30. I presume this means you must install from source; I'm not sure the vendor's comfortable with this, especially for such an essential service.
CentOS 5 :: Switching From Sendmail To Postix?
Oct 14, 2010I'm contemplating to switch from sendmail to postfix. My current setup is very simple: a minimal CentOS 5.5 64bits install with Selinux enabled on ports 25, 80, secret sshd, 53 and 953. I also use Google Apps for my domain to manage the email accounts. Basically, I use sendmail only to email the daily logwatch, as well the email sent from my forum software. The issue that I'm facing is the forum is starting to hammer sendmail with a lot of emails.
My goal is to use Postfix only to send those forum emails. I don't need a SMTP setup, that is handled by Google Apps. Can I do that with Postfix? Will Postfix perform better than sendmail? All guides I saw on internet pair Postfix with Dovecot and the setup is a little complex, not to mention that I will never have email accounts created on server.
I was wondering if you have any handy guide who will basically replace sendmail with Postfix. Personally, I tried myself using the CentOS HowTo. I yum'ed postfix and system-switch-mail, then I disabled sendmail and switched the agent to Postfix. I left the main.cf config unchanged and tried to start Postfix (service postfix start), but I got a "master is stopped" message when I checked the daemon status.

View 2 Replies View RelatedGeneral :: CentOS 5.4 - Sendmail And Host Domain
Jul 7, 2010I'm running CentOS 5.4 with sendmail. My computer hostname is bob.domain.com. Whenever I would nc -v 127.0.0.1 25 into sendmail I would get bob.domain.com on the banner. Whenever I send out email the emails would be user@bob.domain.com. I wanted the email to show up as user@domain.com. So in the etc/mail/sendmail.cf file I changed the line
Code:
Dj$w.hostname.com
to this
Code:
Djhostname.com
Now when I enter sendmail I see domain.com in the banner so I know the change took place. However, when I send email using
Code:
mail -s "test" xxx@xxx.com
then email still goes out as user@bob.domain.com. What other changes do I need to make?

Nov 18, 2010We have moved from a Windows based SMTP server to Sendmail on Cent 5.5. We have a special application that was written to look at the "BadMail" folder on the Windows box. I am told by my developers that it is capable of monitor remote locations and they just need to know the format or extension of the badmail files.
My question is what is the default location of the badmail folder in Sendmail? This is a default install from CentOS.

Jan 28, 2009I recently turned on sendmail in CentOS 5.2 and configured it to relay mail for its domain onto some other email account elsewhere. Anyway, it's kind of hit and miss, but I've got a few of these:

please try again later.
I don't think I have any greylisting software installed, but it seems to be greylisting? What's up with that? And why would it be intermittent? how I turn this off?
I've previously configured sendmail on Fedora systems and CentOS 4 and haven't run into this before...
CentOS 5 Server :: Sendmail Broken After 5.3 Upgrade?
Apr 9, 2009After upgrading to CentOS 5.3 my sendmail will no longer deliver messages using a program in my /etc/smrsh. It fails with the message "unknown mailer error 1". This program was working perfectly before I did the upgrade using yum. Here is the list of packages that were upgraded. Does anything jump out as being the source of the issue? I don't believe that sendmail itself was upgraded:
Packages Installed:
dbus-libs - 1.1.2-12.el5.x86_64
libselinux-utils - 1.33.4-5.1.el5.x86_64

CentOS 5 Server :: Setup DKIM With Sendmail?
Jun 23, 2009I am trying to make my webserver a well respected email sender and it appears to me that using DKIM is something I need to do.
I have no experience with this and would like to know if anyone thinks there are issues that I should be aware of before going down this path.
Also, I have not been able to find any good, STEP BY STEP, documentation on how to set up DKIM with Sendmail.
I am also not sure if you need a certain network configuration for DKIM to work...this is what I am working with:
My webserver (centos 5.3, sendmail 8.13.8) sends outgoing mail and has a valid reverse DNS that matches a forward DNS. The MX records for my webserver's domain point to a third party email provider who handles the incoming mail for that domain. I added an spf record that signifies it that my webserver is authorized to send mail for mydomain.
CentOS 5 Server :: Procmail + Sendmail Configuration On 5.2?
Aug 5, 2009I have been trying to get procmail working on CentOS 5.2. I don't need anything fancy, just an auto reply for a "noreply@" account. Looking at the sendmail configuration, it appears procmail is the MDA. I have looked at many different tutorials and how-tos, but most are old, and/or the locations/paths and setups are markedly different from the defaults on my system. Can anyone recommend a good CentOS-based tutorial on Procmail w/ recipes? (I have an RHEL book and it's no help either.) Thank you for your time and consideration.
