CentOS 5 Server :: Postfix Random Delivery ?

Apr 13, 2011

I configured a Postfix Server to relay the messages to an Exchange Server. To keep it simple I configured all my users locally and I setup local .forward files in their home folders, specifying their local Exchange address.

Everything seemed to work fine (for years now), until I upgraded postfix in October, 23rd 2010.

Alas, lately I noticed that, since then, even if I just realized it now, sometimes the server seems not to use the .forward file and tries to use the local delivery using cyrus, which does not find a local mail folder (obviously, since I never created them as I didn�t want to) and replies to the sender with a "550-Mailbox unknown" error. Today I enabled the "-v" mode for "local" in master.cf the debugging the problem a bit better, to see what's the problem.

If I was sure about the problem being the postfix version (2.3.3, which is way too old now!), I'd give it a try and substitute it with the latest 2.8.2 (even if the server is a production server and is almost untouchable).

Following the error and my main.cf and master.cf setup files:

Server :: Postfix Mail Delivery Path Modification?

May 24, 2010

I'm running postfix with virtual domains and want to modify the delivery path. Right now, I have one path for each user that's found with a database lookup.Before mail hits Postfix, it will have an x-spam-header: yes/no/uncertain field. When mail with x-spam-header: yes the lookup for the path would return /var/mail/domain/username/.Inbox/.spam.

What I think I'd like to do is parse the x-spam-header value in postfix, populate a variable, then use the variable to modify the path lookup in the database. header_checks has a FILTER option, but that's just beyond my skillset at the moment.Or, maybe I'm better off modifying the path with a procmail recipe? Currently, my mailbox_command = procmail -a "$EXTENSTION"

CentOS 5 :: Postfix Mail Server Will Not Start Tried To Change Postfix Smtp Port?

Oct 4, 2010

so 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

CentOS 5 Server :: Status=deferred - Delivery Temporarily Suspended - Connect To 127.0.0.1[127.0.0.1]: Connection Refused

Apr 6, 2010

For some reason my mail server (Postfix) seems to have stopped delivering mail.

The error in the mail logs is "status=deferred (delivery temporarily suspended: connect to 127.0.0.1[127.0.0.1]: Connection refused) against all mails.

I have researched to try and find an answer, most information on this problem seems to point to a malfunction in the Anti Virus and Spam Filtering solution.

I have checked that Amavisd and Clamd are both operating and have restarted Postfix but all to no avail, squirrelmail is not working either.. ie not even producing a login page.

I have not changed anything in the config and am just wondering if anyone has experienced similar and could point me in the right direction of a solution.

CentOS 5 Server :: Add Disclaimer To Postfix?

Dec 22, 2009

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.

CentOS 5 Server :: Getting SASL+Postfix To Authenticate?

Feb 19, 2009

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

CentOS 5 :: Postfix Not Sending Email To Right Server?

Jul 23, 2009

I 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
Jul 22 15:43:43 list postfix/smtpd[9802]: D63168604A3: client=localhost.localdomain[127.0.0.1]
Jul 22 15:43:53 list postfix/cleanup[9805]: D63168604A3: message-id=<20090722204343.D63168604A3@www.xyz.com>

CentOS 5 Server :: Dovecot Postfix POP Not Responding?

Jan 2, 2011

I am running CentOS 5.2 on a server here in my home. It runs Dovecot and Postfix and also serves as a website host for a small website of mine. Everything works fine. POP, SMTP, Webmail, WWW, all works great and has for ages.Here's the issue. I recently reinstalled a clean copy of Windows 7 on a workstation in my home onto a new harddrive(I still have the old drive int he machine so I can boot to it as well). I setup the Windows Live Mail client to send/receive mail with my mail/web server. However, it won't connect to the POP server on my server machine.Here's the kicker. If I boot to the old harddrive that is running Windows 7, it connects fine to my mailserver and can send/receive just fine. I've checked, rechecked and rechecked and all mail settings on the mail clients on both drives are identical.

Note: The installations of Windows 7 on both drives is identical. Same computer name/ same credentials, same IP, etc. However, as I stated, I can send/receive email with my server if I boot to my old drive, but if I boot to my new drive, I cannot send/receive.

CentOS 5 Server :: Postfix No Longer Sending Mail?

Jan 7, 2010

One of my mailservers running postfix has suddenly stopped sending mail and has been generating the following errors:

Jan 7 12:03:08 postfix/sendmail[3560]: warning: premature end-of-input on /usr/sbin/postdrop -r while reading input attribute name
Jan 7 12:03:08 postfix/sendmail[3560]: fatal: root(0): unable to execute /usr/sbin/postdrop -r: Success

[Code].....

Things I have tried to fix this problem, but didn't work.

1) Stopped postfix, uninstalled and reinstalled.

2) Did a complete filesystem relabel with a touch /.autorelabel and reboot.

3) Did a restorecon -F -R on /etc/postfix, /var/spool/postfix and /usr/sbin/post*

Nothing above has worked and have no idea why with selinux disabled postfix works and with it on it fails.

CentOS 5 Server :: Postfix Multiple Domains One User?

Jun 2, 2010

I am currently running a apache/postfix email service on my server. I am using aliases for two addresses for example:

trscookie@serverone.com
trscookie@secondserver.com

so the emails no matter which domain receives the email trscookie always will receive the email.

However I am unable to work out how to 'reverse' this process, for example.

If i was to go to secondserver.com/webmail I would like the emails to get sent from trscookie@secondserver.com however they are currently all coming from serverone.com. Is it possible to configure this so that it is sent from the correct domain?

Here is my main.cf:

queue_directory = /var/spool/postfix
command_directory = /usr/sbin
daemon_directory = /usr/libexec/postfix
mail_owner = postfix

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?

I'm new here and I'm sure this question has been thrown around a lot but I just couldn't find a solution. I have a networking website I've setup and we need to send notification mails to our members depending on activity related to their profiles(messages, comments etc).We are hosting the site on Centos5.6 with VirtualMin and are using Postfix as our MTA. We also use google apps for email on the site. Heres the problem, the mails go through for some gmail users but more often than not, they end up in gmail,hotmail and yahoo spam.We've setup the appropriate SPF codes on the server, DKIM and rDNS works fine.v=spf1 ip4:xx.xx.xx.xx a mx include:_spf.google.com ~all Below is a sample email that goes directly into gmail spam. I've replaced the actual values with dummy text (Ip, Domain etc)
