I'm running SuSE 11 with sendmail and dovecot.I'm sending and receiving mail. But as soon as someone sends me a mail with an attachment over 1mg it seems to fail. I have no problem sending big attachments.
View 7 RepliesI have an interesting job at hand. A client has asked me to generate an email account for him that will block ALL file attachments unless specific email addresses are added to a white list. Cpanel doesn't seem to allow this because of Exim (from what the server techs tell me).So here I am, asking the wise. Please let me know what options there are. I don't mind installing a 3rd party email system on the server just for this client if it's possible and won't interfere with WHM/Cpanel.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm am not remotely familiar with the linux operating sytem and just need a simple 'cut and paste solution' that will allow me to send .gz files as mail attachments, from the command line.Recently I moved my website to new hosting company, they are using cpanel and I have set up a couple of commands; the cpanel scheduler runs them for me as required.
1.creates an mysql dump and saves it to folder ( in root of my space )Works fine.2. delete the file created above, after 15 mins. Also works fineWhat I really want to do is email the .gz to myself before it is deleted, this is were I am stuck.This is possible ( I believe ) but it is beyond my understanding and ability to write the scipt/command that will make this happen.Please make any instructions really simple and clear as I am really new to this.on the server and this information is provided below and may be helpful to you (but I certainly to not know anything about this type of stuff)
I'm trying to set up my Thunderbird 3.1.8 (running on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS) to play a .wav file of my choice when new mail arrives. The file I've chosen is 8,8 KB in size and lasts 3 seconds. I've selected the "Play a sound" + "Use the following sound file" options in my Preferences, but only the first second (if that) of the sound gets played - both when I click the "Play" button in the Preferences menu to test it, as well as when receiving mail. Restarting the program with my new settings doesn't help.
Actual question(s):
- Is there a limit on the size/duration of the sound one can use for such a signal in this program?
- Is there any way to modify this limit?
Request your help in writing a shell script for the following requirement:
1) scan each incoming mail with conditions on sender name and subject
2) scan the mail body for set of characters and email them.
general usage is as follows: I get a mail as follows from: [URL]... subject : Urgent, reply body : name : xyz contact : 12345 the script should mail the following as subject line: n:xyz c:12345 I know procmail is a good option for this, but I'm compelled to use shell script
How can mail attachments be downloaded from a POP3-supporting mail server and saved as local files? I've looked into a variety of mail clients and studied mbox, maildir and MIX but no solutions are jumping out and saying "It's me you're looking for!" (story of my life ) The requirement is for an organisation with no document management system; as a first step I want to get all their files in one place, including files that may exist only as email attachments.
View 8 Replies View RelatedI am setting up a server that is to serve websites and host mail.I have run into a problem regarding the mail server. The server is completely set up but for some reason it is not receiving the e-mails I am trying to send to it. When i mail to the associated mail address from internal by the "mail" command it works fine. But when I try from an external mail server, the mail never gets through. And I do not receive a bounce e-mail.
It says that the port 25 IS open for TCP connections (in iptables - I opened it myself). And surely when I telnet to it on that port from inside the server, I get an connection. But when I telnet from an external network I get a refused connection. It would sound that the port is in fact not really open for external use, in my mind, but it is. Is there possibly anything else I might have neglected to check in this mystery

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm using postfix on Ubuntu 9.10 and all I need is to occasionally send automated emails from perl or php scripts when data processing errors occur.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI installed a new server running CentOS 5.2. I have iptables and SELinux off. The new server will not accept incoming mail. It will send out fine.Our mail server redirects mail for it.help to it.[url]...- [url]....is this server. Any messages sent to this address get stuck in a deferred queue. The error message on each one (from the mail server admin console) is "connection to[url]... [10.9.10.202] - connection refused". I can ping [url].... from the mail server.
This seems like a firewall issue, but it is off. Is there some configuration file I need to change to allow incoming mail? Or is there some test I can run on the new server to further troubleshoot what is going on
assist me in using the iptables firewall to block all incoming mail traffic (SMTP port 25) except that of a certain IP(s)? the situation is that we have a server that we only want to receive mail from a particular sender.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI've read many post close to my subject regarding blacklisting incoming emails, but non of them described what I really want:How can I reject a continuously changing email from my postfix, here is what I mean:
abduooo+bncCIr7stnbBBCssufsBBoEzTHSKg@googlegroups.com
abduooo+bncCMfZgc-iExCKr-fsBBoEMzorbA@googlegroups.com
abduooo+bncCLf5kv6MHRCtmefsBBoEjYnAAQ@googlegroups.com
I think you got what I mean, the thing I've taken from the posts I've read is that I created a sender_access file hashed it and added the:smtpd_recipient_restrictions = check_sender_access hash:/etc/postfix/sender_accessto postfix main.cf configurationThe sender access file reads:abduooo*@googlegroups.com REJECTBut that didn't work, I know that there is some magical slashes and dots to be added to the sender_access, but I don't know which.
I have been trying to solve this problem for two days now looking at various forums and websites but can't really figure out what's going on here.I have setup postfix on my ubuntu and I can send emails using "telnet localhost 25" and the ehlo thingy. Apache can also send emails. My problem is with incoming emails. When I try to send an email (through Gmail) I get the following error message:

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a server with a domain running and im trying to resolve the mail server but i can't see where to start. I use OpenSuse 11.2. Basically, for starting, i want postfix to send incoming emails to a php script or perl. for outgoing emails i guess that i could use php mail function and i will see what else to have. I configured the dns. I do a dig.mydomain.tld MX and i get the following:
mydomain.tld3600INMX0 mail.mydomain.tld
mail.mydomain.tld 3600INAmyNumericalIp
So now my system is receiving MX content but i dont know what to do.

View 1 Replies View RelatedRunning Postfix 2.6.1 on Slackware 13.0.I noticed that if I send an email with a large attachment(namely more than 500 KB) from another computer using this postfix server as an smtp server, it takes up to an hour to send it.It's almost like postfix is configured to send large emails later with a lower priority.The client computer and postfix server are within a GIGABIT LAN so upload 500 KB isn't an issue.
