Fedora :: Sendmail - Setup To Send / Send Emails With It?
Aug 17, 2011
I'm writing a script that will send an alert email given certain conditions. I have the impression that sendmail is what I need to do that. I just don't know how to use sendmail at all. I assume I have to set it up like a typical mail client so that it has a mail server to log into to send from.
I've looked through the man pages, but I can't find anything in plain English there on how to set it up, or how to use it once it is set up.
I just want to be able to send emails through my webserver, setup. I couldn't find a dev forum - so thought i'd post here. I'd like to be able to send emails (form my localhost setup) to and from my global client, namely: ( ***@yahoo.com), using PHP and Apache. A snippet from my php.ini file looks like:
Code: ; For Unix only. You may supply arguments as well (default: "sendmail -t -i"). ; http://php.net/sendmail-path sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail -i -t sendmail_from = example@yahoo.com
Now, I never could get this working in Windows, let alone Linux. I could do with it working though.
I want to setup an email client in order to send/receive emails, but since i am experiencing some issues with my ISP, i decided to setup an SMTP server with Postfix on my machine.The problem is that i can receive emails but i can not send.I read almost every thread in here refering to Postfix, but i could not find the problem on my configuration.So here it is..
Code: # See /usr/share/postfix/main.cf.dist for a commented, more complete version # Debian specific: Specifying a file name will cause the first
I have evolution set up to send emails using gmail's smtp server. I've always been able to do it with no problems, but a couple of days ago I stopped being able to send emails to gmail accounts. I can send emails to other addresses but not gmail. The same happens with my wife's laptop with ubuntu. The only thing I can think of is that we recently moved and thus changed ISP, but I don't see how that's preventing us to send mails specifically to gmail accounts...
I'm running Evolution 2.30.3 on fc13.x64 and I've been getting a funny problem for a while, that now really annoys me:
even if the settings for my hotmail account are correct, Evolution will ask for the password every time I log in. Also, since I keep it open, after a while (~30 minutes) it "forgets" somehow the password and asks for the password again. This time, anyway, it won't work and I have to reset Evolution again.
Bonus question: even if hotmail is configured correctly for receiving and sending (smtp.live.com etc.), it won't send email, but will remain stuck on "sending".
I have been trying to set up ssmtp so I can send email using Gmail's ssmtp servers. However, when I try to send mail (using mailx), I get the following message:
Code:
Can't send mail: sendmail process failed
Here's the last line from dmesg (the only one applicable, according to the timestamps and message content):
Code:
[484114.608378] sendmail[17975]: segfault at 0 ip b7dbbbf3 sp bfb0dc4c error 4 in libc-2.11.2.so[b7d44000+14e000]
Here's my ssmtp.conf:
Code:
# # /etc/ssmtp.conf -- a config file for sSMTP sendmail. #
Regarding few things I am facing problem : 1. How to send one copy of that outgoing mail generated from the source. It should cc to another mail id in server's backend while mail sending. 2. I don't have any domain - internally or externally. Only have static ip, accessible from outside. Can I configure sendmail to send-receive through that ip. 3. How to transfer all mails and addressbook from exchange server to linux sendmail server.
i'm using fedora 12 and i wanna send mail using command $mail actually i tried to send mail to my gmail , yahoo ,and hotmail emails but i didn't receive the mail so i expect that i should have some configuration on my host before sending mai
the sendmail packages on my f15 server were updated from 8.14.4-20 to 8.14.5-1 yesterday. since then, every attempt to send mail via a smart relay have failed with :
Jun 25 14:05:10 server sendmail[23512]: p5PD59jr023512: from=root, size=208, class=0, nrcpts=1, msgid=<201106251305.p5PD59jr023512@server.{fromdom ain}>, relay=root@localhost Jun 25 14:05:10 server sendmail[23513]: p5PD5A8l023513: from=<root@server.{fromdomain}>, size=480,
[code]....
i've tried using various different smtp relays and they all now throw the same error. without going through all my sendmail config, i have the following entries in /etc/mail/sendmail.mc :
I have configured sendmail server on my Rhel5 machine.i just wanted to know whether i can connect my machine with internet and send my mails through sendmail.
I have an issue with sendmail. I need to configure sendmail to send email from command prompt to any domain. This is just for the notification purpose. I installed sendmail and sendmail-cf and sm-client. The following are the configuration I have done.
I have the following problem with sendmail on F14 (had the same on F13 already):
I have a network setup using bridging which is controlled through traditional ifup/ifdown (because NetworkManager can't handle bridging). My sendmail configuration differs from the Fedora default only by having a SMART_HOST relay. The queueing interval in /etc/sysconfig/sendmail is the default (1h).
When my network connection is up, sendmail normally sends email through the relay immediately. Sometimes I have to interrupt the connection for a few minutes. When my network connection is down, sendmail starts queueing email (OK this far). When the network connection comes back up, I'd expect sendmail to restart sending mail through the relay again. But sometimes, that doesn't happen. Instead, sendmail keeps queueing my mail infinitely (I have seen it happen for several days) until I finally notice that my email isn't received, and run sendmail -q by hand (by that time, my boss is already angry that I'm not responding to his email). In that state, even new mail is queued rather than forwarded by sendmail. It appears that the only way to stop that behavior is to restart the sendmail service.
I'm stuck with postfix. It cannot send emails and I cannot find out why! smtpPort 25/tcp is open. I can telnet localhost with 25, but not the localhosts IP(192.168.1.15). Sendmail is OFF. Here is the main.cf file!

I'm looking for a solution for sendmail to limit the number of emails send per miniute per IP. For example all my local computer user with ip 192.x.x.x need to able to send 10 emails/minite (emails, not connections!. The rest of the world can send for example 200 emails/minute to the mailserver. If the amount of emails per minute is exceeded, sendmail needs to block receiving emails from the spesific IP. I want to do this to stop spaming from my local network. Is it possible?
I have configured Postfix on a Ubuntu 8.04 box using this tutorial:I can send emails but I cannot receive any email because of a "bad recipient address syntax:"The log from /var/log/mail.info says this:
I have a web application installed on a Debian server that sends out a lot of e-mails. Is there a way to configure Postfix to retain the messages in a queue and send all of them at midnight for example
Howdy. I'm trying to get mailman up and running. I have CentOS 5 (hiab) and qmail. I did yum install mailman and that went fine, I set up apache and can see the mailman pages via htttp.The issue now is with sending mail, whenever I send emails to the list I get: 511 511 sorry, no mailbox here by that name
So I'm assuming my alias files/.qmail fies are in the wrong spot. The contents of my .qmail are (respective to the -admin, -bounces, -etc)
I am looking to send emails from cron for backup information. However, all the programs I have found (mail, mutt) require the password in plain text. Does anyone know of a more secure method? In fact, if it is only sending, is there a way to do this without logging into an account? What is the simplest way, without making it check emails too?

I'm trying to configure postfix to send e-mails but it is not receiving requests from networks different from its localnet (192.168.1.0/24). Iptables is like this:

I am having a problem with sendmail. Using a php script the process that 30 seconds to send. I have googled the symptoms and have changed sendmail.cf ==> Timeout.ident=0 and configured /etc/hosts properly. I'm using Fedora 11 and 12, same issue.
i have running sendmail 8.13 on my red hat enterprise linux 5.1, but i have a problem. I can send a mail from my line command terminal to hotmail, gmail, yahoo and any of these, but i can't send mail to my own domain ([URL]), when i wrote a mail i get a reply from MAILER-DAEMON@localhost.localdomain that says that the message had pemanent fatal errors and shows as user unknown the mail was suposed to recive the message.
For example, if i send one mail from user1@mydomain.com to user2@mydomain.com the user2 does not recive any mail, but that doens not happens if user1 sends a mail to any hotmail address or gmail or any other. Besides i also can't recive on my server any mail to user1@mydomain.com or user2@mydomain.com (for example), so please tell me what do i do to get the mail.
