General :: Sending Backup Results To External Email Addresses?
Mar 26, 2009
I come from more of a programming background but have been giving the task of sending backup results from a linux box in an email to external email addresses, I have spent days looking trough google for info but cant seem to find anything simple, I have looked at postfix but because I don't understand networks, hosts, nameservers etc. What I need to do to allow mail get sent from the linux box to external mail address. I have outlook connected to an exchange server on windows and I can ping the linux box from my windows command so surely it cant be to much involved.

I just setup a mail server on my web server and I cannot for the life of me figure out how to send emails to external (as in outside my LAN) emails or receive from external emails. I'm using Postfix with Dovecot and Squirrelmail. I get this delivery report in Squirrelmail when trying to send an email to my hotmail address.
Final-Recipient: rfc822; example@hotmail.com
Action: failed
Status: 5.0.0
Remote-MTA: dns; mx3.hotmail.com
Diagnostic-Code: smtp; 550 DY-001 Mail rejected by Windows Live Hotmail for policy reasons. We generally do not accept email from dynamic IP's as they are not typically used to deliver unauthenticated SMTP e-mail to an Internet mail server. [URL] maintains lists of dynamic and residential IP addresses. If you are not an email/network admin please contact your E-mail/Internet Service Provider for help. Email/network admins, please visit [URL] for email delivery information and support.

I'm using the mail command and I am able to send mail to my gmail account with out any problems. However when I send mail to deco -at- mycompany.com I nothing happens and no mail ever arrives in my mailbox. It might be worth mentioned that my centos5 is a virtual machine on the same server as the company exchange mail server.

I'm trying to do a
find /photos/* -type f -mtime +365
to find all my pictures that are over a year old, but I keep getting argument list too long. How can I view what all the results are, even if it just dumps it to a file that I have to open?

I have my email on a separate partition so that my email doesn't get destroyed when I do new linux installs (I have emails from 5 years ago now). I also keep my sylpheed email addressbooks. This partition is writable by anybody and I have also made my user the owner of this partition during each linux install (media/email). When I set up sylpheed I tell it that my email is in /media/email and then it is able to write incoming messages to that location. The problem I am having is that I make symbolic links for my addressbooks from ~/.sylpheed* to /media/email using this:cd ~/.sylpheed*rm addrbook-000001.xmlln -s /media/email/addrbook-000001.xml addrbook-000001.xmlSylpheed finds my addressbook ok on my email partition but changes that symbolic link to a file on ~ when it writes new addresses. What am I doing wrong...I want it to write new addresses to my email partition?

We use mutt to send out emails.mutt -s "Test" -e "Content-Type: text/html" test@example.com < message.htmlWe send out our email updates in HTML format. We would like to send emails as multi-part containing both a text version and an html version. How do we create such a multipart message in Linux when the email subject, and HTML and text versions of the email body are given?Can we use mutt to send the multipart email created in step 1, from the linux prompt?

here is a fragment of a bash that i have to send an email when a back Up is made. basically a usr runs the sh - it asks for the job num and I read that from standard in . I do a tar of the drv to tape and I wish to send an email that job such and such has happened. My problem is : the subject of the email. I can set it - but if i try to use a var ( as in the $jobNum ) that Does work in the mail body - the subject comes out blank. I have also tried to buld a text file and shove that in the SUBJECT. my Q is how can I use a var in the subject.
# email subject
### so I have tried bulding and reading a tmp file -no works
EMAILSUBJECT="/tmp/emailsubject.txt"
echo "backup job" $jobNum >$EMAILSUBJECT
[code]....

I'm using Linux 11.04 and just installed the most recent version of Postfix. I'm trying to send a simple email (through a relay) but when I run the command
sendmail davea@mydomain.com FROM: fromemail@gmail.com SUBJECT: hello world this is a test email .
It just hangs there. There is nothing in /var/log/mail.log or in any of its accompanying files.

I cannot send an email link in Namoroka. I go to file-send link and nothing happens. I tried to find the problem by about:config in Namoroka. I just found /usr/bin/mozilla-thunderbird. With my limited knowledge I do not know what else to look for.

We have connected two systems with ethernet cables and have configured the two systems with ipv6 addresses. The IP of one system is 2001:0db8:0:f101::1 (let's say X::1) (This system runs OS Fedora 10) and the other is 2001:0db8:0:f101::2. (Let's say X::2) (This system runs OpenSuSE 10.3) We are able to ping from both systems to the other. We are able to ssh into the one with IP X::2 from the one with IP X::1, but not vice versa.
We have disabled iptables on both systems by using the following commands:
/etc/init.d/iptables save
/etc/init.d/iptables stop
on the fedora 10 system and
# iptables -X
# iptables -t nat -F
# iptables -t nat -X
# iptables -t mangle -F
# iptables -t mangle -X
# iptables -P INPUT ACCEPT
# iptables -P FORWARD ACCEPT
# iptables -P OUTPUT ACCEPT
on the openSuse system.
The error we get in trying to ssh from the openSuse system to the fedora system is:
ssh: connect to host 2001:0db8:0:f101::1 port 22: Connection refused
We're trying to write server and client code to send data from one system to the other using SOCK_DGRAM. The code works fine when we run both the client and server on the same system. However, we are not able to send data from one system to another when we use the IPv6 addresses to run the client and server programs.
The error we get is:
sendto(): Operation not permitted
The codes we are using for the server and client programs can be found here in beej's guide here : [URL]. We've only substituted the appropriate addresses in the right places... We've disabled the iptables...

After I spent some time discovering The BIG BANG of Universe and The Meaning of Life :
I managed somehow to create a script to make some backup of files on server and TAR it and then FTP the archive to another location FTP server and then emails result.
It also measures time needed to complete it and deletes archive older than XX days (set in find -mtime +20) and makes incremental backup every weekday and FULL on Sundays (which suits me bcoz no heavy load).
Files for TAR to include and exclude are in txt files listed each line separate name:
file: including.txt:

I have s script that standard users use to back up usb drives to lto4 tapes.it asks for a JobNumber and sends an email upon success.I recently expanded it to use Multiple tapes.my specific Q is if the system reaches the end of the tape it happily mentions in the terminal that one needs to put in a second tape.what i would like to do is send an email that --It needs a second tape.( it presently sends an email upon successful compleation - so you see the only way a person knows that they need a second tape is if they
1-- know that the drive they are backing up is < 800GB (lto4)
2-- they do not get a completion emails and the think to walk to the basement and see the request for a second tape.
I wish for an email that would tap them on the shoulder that : " you need to put in a second tape "so -- if i know the exact syntax that shows in the terminal - which is:Prepare volume #2 for `/dev/st0' and hit return:then can i test for that somehow?

I've got 2 computers plugged into an "ethernet broadband router" sitting behind a DSL modem. I'd like to be able to send mail from one of the 2 computers to the other, preferably without going through the DSL modem, and preferably without assigning host names (if that's possible).
I've installed/configured sendmail (and sendmail-cf and m4) and am attempting babystep tests of the configuration by sending mail to a user on the originating computer.
So I can send email to root@localhost and it is received on the local host.
But if I try to send it to root@127.0.0.1, it bounces back like so:
This seems to be pretty fundamental (the localhost has an address of 127.0.0.1). Shouldn't I be able to use the IP address in place of the associated name?
Here's my hosts file /etc/hosts:
Code:
And here's my resolv.conf file, although I wouldn't expect that to come into play since I'm using IP addresses instead of names /etc/resolv.conf:
Code:
Here's my /etc/mail/access file:
Code:
I did verify that sendmail was configured to listen in on more than just the loopback address in /etc/mail/sendmail.mc, but that doesn't seem to be relevant until I can get email through to 127.0.0.1.
Which files do I need to create/touch to get this to work?
And can it be done without talking to the DSL modem?

Related to my last post in that it is another email issue, but something else I am having a problem with.
Debian Lenny on virtual KVM (32-bit, v5.0.7)
With Postfix it is necessary to have an alias for root, eg: root: someuser
In theory, and as far as I am aware, this can also be something like: root: someone@someaddress.tld
When I use the latter, though, the following happens whenever my system tries to redirect root email messages, but not when I use the root: someuser method in the aliases file (and, yes, I do know to use newaliases after amending the file).
The firewall is not an issue (tested with and without the firewall), nor are the resolvers, and the DNS for accounts on the box is all okay and fully propagated. Also, changing the email address to something like this.address@google.com does not work, either, - same error message.

I have a feeling this is going to be something no one cares about enough to have bothered with, however, just in case someone else got frustrated enough to figure this out I thought I would ask.I have an associate I send and receive a lot of email with. They have one email they use rarely (once a month) and another they use all the time. The problem is that evolution always shows the one they use rarely first.
That is, when I partially type in their name in the "to" field those two email addresses will list in a drop down. I would like to either remove the rarely used email address from the list or have evolution list from most recently used (like "The Bat!" does, a Windows email client I use) instead of however it does it now, presumably it's just in alphabetical order.Right now about 20% of my emails go to this other email address because I'm busy, in a hurry, tired or whatever and just forget that it defaults to the wrong one all the time and it's caused the occasional problem.

It wasn't too long ago that I discovered Linux/Ubuntu (in terms of actually USING it) and I've been completely blown away by the capabilities it puts in the user's hands! To think that someone can take an old desktop from a trash pile (literally, in my case) and turn it into a web server for ZERO dollars is absolutely crazy.
Anyway, I've been using said desktop as a sort of "dummy" machine to learn Linux. I want to be clear that I've got another computer for personal use and that I understand that setting up server software on any computer poses a security risk. Having said that, I have a few questions regarding mail servers and their setup on Ubuntu. Again - I'm comfortable with what I've done so far in Ubuntu (installing packages, terminal interaction, basic usage)
My question is mainly this: if you have, say, a domain name through DynDNS (let's say example123.com) and it points to an Ubuntu system, does something like Postfix enable you to make your own email addresses such as user1@example123.com and have an email server from wherever the Ubuntu system is?
I've been following the basic Postfix setup here and have had success so far (down to the "Adding your local domains to postfix" section) bu wanted to make sure that what I'm intending to do is what I'm doing (haha... i hope that makes sense). That is: get domain name at DynDNS, host pages on LAMPP server, use Postfix to facilitate incoming/outgoing email for that domain name.
