I am trying to setup a sendmail server on my dedicated server. It was pre-configured to use exim from cpanel. Is it possible to use exim for all emails from a a certain domain i setup on the server and sendmail for others?
ex.
domain1.com -> exim
domain2.com -> sendmail
If it is possible can someone let me know how i would go about doing this? If it is not how would i disable exim and use sendmail for all mail?

My questions are as follows:
- What kind of server/service should I rent - dedicated or vps?
- Is one IP-Address enough to connect, say, 100 user? (I plan to run IPsec or OpenVPN, maybe PPTP)
- What Bandwith and/or traffic limits I need to consider to make the service reasonably fast for the users?
- Which Linux-distro should I use? Ubuntu Server, CentOS, FreeBSD, Debian etc?
- How much RAM and HDD space is recommended for such an endevour?
- Any advice on the processor type the server should have?
- Is 100M network ok or better 1000M?
- What means 100Mbps shared bandwidth in contrast to 10Mbps dedicated guaranteed per server?
I have sendmail running in system,i want to send mail to other accounts like gmail,yahoo using this sendmail.What should i do ?
View 1 Replies View RelatedHaving some issues setting up sendmail on a (basically) blank RHEL 5.5 server setup. My ultimate goal is to be able to automagically send logs / errors / notifications to ourselves from the server.
Our basic setup is a Win 2003 domain with exchange running on mail.domain.com.au.
I've edited the '/etc/mail/sendmail.mc' and added the :
Code:
line to it.
Also added the domain (domain.com.au) to the '/etc/mail/local-host-names' files
Also edited submit.mc and added
Code:
When I try and send a mail from root or a test user to one of the domain accounts, it seems to go fine, i.e no errors are reported but it never gets delivered.
From the mail logs:
Code:
So it seems to be sent to the queue no problems and when I check the queue :
Code:
Total requests: 0
Not nothing ever gets received. Am I missing something? I have read and read and read but dont seem to be getting any furthur.
So in the end this server doesn't need to do anything except be able to send mail from root to an external mail address.
I am trying to set up a mail server on centos5 using sendmail and dovecot, and eventually spamassassin and some antivirus filter as well. I'd also like to get the proper secure auth mechanism set up at some point too. But for starters, I've been having a lot of difficulty trying to even connect to the mail server from a client computer in the local network. I installed Eudora on the client and after some tweaking in dovecot I was able to connect to the mail server, but then when I try to send an email I get a "connection refused" error, with nothing being logged on the server that I can see.
The last time I set up a mail server was Fedora Core 2, so the configuration files have changed a bit to say the least, and I can't really refer back to those to set up this new server. Does anybody know of a good step-by-step doc on getting the mail server going? I've read the man pages and other various readme's, but these really only list out the available options with no really good explanation of what needs to be done to get the mail server going. If there isn't a full write-up on how to do this, I'll put something together when I'm finished so others can use it in the future.
how can I best transfer my mails that are sitting on my old exim server to my new postfix server?

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.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI wish to setup an email server, using sendmail and DOVECOT on F13 With no modification of the DOVECOT config file ( fresh installation ), I can see that :
service dovecot restart
shows me :
service imap stop

In the config file, I have :
protocols = imap pops imaps pop3s
and of course, I cannot connect as pop3
The problem is to make sendmail use different LDA for diferent users in the same domain. For example, deliver bob@some.domain with procmail and genry@some.domain with mail.local.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI am setting up a CentOS box as a NAT firewall that needs to also send mail. It needs to send this mail using an outside provider's SMTP. The provider requires SMTP over SSL. None of the machines inside the NAT will ever send mail except via the provider's SMTP nor will they ever receive mail except to local clients via the provider's IMAP servers.
So for the example the machine is TESTMACHINE. There is one internet facing ethernet port connected to a DSL modem via pppoe.
The SMTP it needs to send mail via is mail.host.net which requires SMTP over SSL (port 465) and username/password authentication.
The sendmail documentation is quite confusing on how to get this simple setup operating, so an example showing the appropriate changes to sendmail.mc and other require config files.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a fairly standard Exim setup for inbound and outbound mail. Recently our development team has put together a PHP app that allows us to send out bulk mails to our clients. The PHP app uses standard PEAR libraries to initiate an SMTP connection to localhost (application and mail server are on the same box). The idea here is that the application will send out roughly 10'000 emails in a very short time period (60 seconds or so) which Exim will then hold in its queue for delivery.
The problem comes in where after about 50 emails, Exim stops accepting mail and loggs the following error in the exim_main.log file: SMTP command timeout on connection from localhost [127.0.0.1] Could it be that this is because Exim immediately starts delivering the mail and then stops accepting new incoming connections? I thought that increasing the SMTP limits may be the problem here, but even after setting new values in the exim.conf file to the following, I still get the same problem:
queue_run_max = 5000
smtp_accept_max = 5000
smtp_accept_queue = 5000
This begs two questions: How do I resolve this? What is the best way for configuring Exim to accept a huge amount of mail into the queue in a very short time period, but then gradually delivery it once it's all in the queue? I've seen some people run separate Exim daemons for incoming and outgoing mail; is this a good solution?
I recently built a mail server with Slackware/Sendmail and basically all works. Mail comes in and goes out. The problem I have is 3 email addresses cannot be sent to from this server. The remote ends are 3 different servers but all run Exim 4.69. I have logged the server exchange and this is what I get: (names have been changed to protect the innocent!!)

I am using webmin for my daily tasks. I have fedora 13, whenever I click on ''Sendmail M4 Configuration'' or Outgoing Addresses (generics)'' I get the following error message
Quote:
The Sendmail M4 configuration base directory /usr/share/sendmail-cf was not found on your system, or is not the correct directory. Maybe it has not been installed (common for packaged installs of Sendmail), or the module config is incorrect. I read documentation at sendmail.org, it seems that structure of directories for send mail has been changed in version sendmail-8.1.4 shipped with FC13. In webmin config module we have
Quote:
Sendmail M4 base directory = /usr/share/sendmail-cf
which is not there. I did a locate / sendmail-cf on the command line, it finds nothing
Mails are not going out of the queue. Removed all frozen mails and tried to flush queue using exim -qf command. Also checked queue after restarting exim. Still messages are not going out of the queue.

I sent up 1 of the emails into the our mail folder that was created by Exim and it can be Subscribed to in Outlook with imap but the emails inside doesn't show up. They both appear as text files so I don't know what the difference is.
