(Desktop with Debian sid) How do I configure Exim4 to send local mail locally and other mail through my ISP? I just did dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config and none of the choices seemed to give me the answer. I have a lot of frozen email addressed to:
root@<My_ISP_SMTP_URL>. I also don't know what happens to regular email sent from Mutt. I have no problem sending email through my laptop on the same LAN.
I'm trying to configure postfix so smart daemon can send out notifications emails. My system will need to send emails to a mail server that is on the same local network. I have not had much luck in getting this to work, and am confused on what I need to setup to do this and how to set it up. Does my system need to be apart of the same domain as the mail server? If so, how do I do this? Is there any restrictions sending emails from the command line as the root user? Do I need to configure a relayhost?
Basically all I need to do is send emails to a local mail server, i.e. a mail server on the same local network. I do not need to receive emails. I am rather clueless as to how to set this all up, and what I need for this basic email functionality. I have read and tried many postfix configuration tutorials, but when I try to send out a test email to a email address on the local network mail server I always get "Connection refused" to the server and deferred or bounced status on my test email.
I have been able to use the mail program on my old Ubuntu instasll which I found quite handy. However, it isn't functioning "out of the box" like I expected. I've tried to configure it as mail was in Ubuntu to no avail.

We are using postfix for relaying our internal system generated mail to other domain through google apps. All client servers able to send mail through the postfix server, only user of local postfix server(root, etc) unable to send mail with command like mutt, mail.My detail configuration given below:
Code:
postconf -n

alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases

The thing is we have 2 servers one is bugzilla + proxy other is mailserver (internal)
The thing is when my dev team files any bug the bugzilla can't send mail to a user user@test.local.com
P.S:i am actually having problems since the sudden power cut and server restarts
the local mail server is having zimbra package installed
I have a CentOS 5.4 nas box that I want to monitor.
I believe I can setup mdadm to mail me when there are issues by addin the following line to /etc/mdadm.cong Quote:MAILADDR root
I use Evolution mail and use 2 PCs When I send mail it saves it to my current PC but not to the other PC so instead i want it to save the sent to the email server i'm using.

I'm trying to set up a *simple* MTA in my local network. The only thing it should be able to do is send system / daemon mails to admin@mylocaldomain. but at the moment I'm pretty much overwhelmed by everything i *should* know in order to set up this MTA
my infrastructure:
- servers:
* test01.mylocaldomain --> should send mails (with exim) to admin@mylocaldomain
* dns01.mylocaldomain --> dns-server
* mail.mylocaldomain --> mail-server (postfix / iredmail package)
I configured exim to be in "internet"-mode. now i have a variety of errors I can choose from (and a variety of solutions that i don't like ).. my test is always an email from test01.mylocaldomain:
echo "Hello World" | mail -s Testmail admin@mylocaldomain
- after running the config, i get the error: admin@mylocaldomain: all relevant MX records point to non-existent hosts --> google says, edit and udpate update-exim4.conf.conf --> dc_relay_domains='mylocaldomain' --> but this exim installation should not be a relay at all. it should only be able to SEND (to this domain), not deliver it. or do i get something wrong?
- after i added dc_relay_domains='mylocaldomain', i get --> SMTP error from remote mail server after RCPT TO:<admin@mylocaldomain>: host mail.mylocaldomain [192.168.x.x]: 550 5.1.1 <root@mylocaldomain>: Sender address rejected: User unknown in virtual mailbox table --> but i don't want to create an account on the mailserver for the SENDER...
- ...so i thought, i'd config exim with the domain "test01.mylocaldomain" (including the server name), so that the sender is clearly from another domain than the mail server handles (e.g. user@test01.mylocaldomain).. but then i get this --> SMTP error from remote mail server after RCPT TO:<admin@mylocaldomain>: host mail.mylocaldomain [192.168.x.x]: 450 4.1.8 <root@test01.mylocaldomain>: Sender address rejected: Domain not found
I really just wanna send mails in my local network.
I've recently had to rebuild our mail server - after the old one over heated - and I've realised I never backed up the config files for exim... so now tyring to work out how the hell to configure what I had....
The setup isn't the most straight forward, so I'll try and explain what happens...
- all emails @longdomain.com are received by an hosted server on the internet
- they are then forwarded to @shortdomain.com, the IP for which is our internet connection which fowards port 25 traffic to the exim server
- the exim server then spam and virus checks the emails and forwards them to an exchange server (sorry but it works well for us)....
I've installed exim4/spamassassin/clamav successfully, and it's setup to receive emails for the relevant domains and relay from the hosted server on the internet (and some local addresses).
how I then setup exim4 to foward all emails on the relevant domains to the exchange server?
Linux [URL] 2.6.26-2-686 #1 SMP Wed Feb 10 08:59:21 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux Currently I have exim4 configured to use my mail server as a relay to send php emails. Though I don�t think I want this setup. My goal is to be able to track emails sent out to make sure that nothing happened and they got bounced back. I need to be able to find the emails that are bounced.
If I configure exim4 to send emails from the current (apache2 / php) server any emails that bounce will end up there, correct? We have clients that are expecting emails and are complaining they do not always get them so something is not 100% configured correctly. I am going to re-run #dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config
Here is the senario...
2 round robin dns servers
x.x.x.1 mydomain.com (hostname)
x.x.x.2 mydomain.com (hostname)
My problem is that when I try and send an email that is part of the domain, it ends up trying to deliver it locally. I realize it is supposed to, but I don't want that for non-users of the server.
I want to be able to deliver certain emails []@mydomain.com remotely. (info@mydomain.com)
exim4 setup "internet site; mail is sent and received directly using SMTP". This works well as long as it is not an email from mydomain.com.
Is there a way to have exim check the users first and then deliver based on local user or not?
Next question. Is having the domain name as the hostname the best way to setup a round robin? (web server)

I have software with a newsletter system - but because I have 16 clients per server they are currently all sending emails from the same (eth0) IP address DESPITE having a DEDICATED ip address per client account for their WEB address. If one spams (or gets spam complaints) then they all suffer - and I'd love to send their email via their unique IP address to stop this problem and to make the IP match their domain which has to be better at getting through spam filters anyway I'd have thought...
View 6 Replies View RelatedI would like to send the logfiles and the CallDetailRecording-files of my Asterisk-server weekly to my email-address.
But I'm having some issues...
This is the command I would use in a script :
I have several computers at work running Fedora 12. From time to time I need to remotely connect to them, usually via ssh. Each computer is assigned an IP number automatically upon startup, however due to circumstances beyond my control they are not recognized by host name by the domain server. Therefore I require the IP addresses in order to connect rather than the host names. I have no way at present to rectify this situation.
When there is a reboot, I am not always guaranteed that the IP address will be the same as before, although in practice this is usually the case. If the IP address is changed and I am logging on remotely, I am unable to connect! I can't know the number until I am again physically sitting at the computer.
As a solution, I would like each computer to e-mail me its IP address each time it boots. My first attempt was to run a script at the end of /etc/rc.d/rc.local that runs ifconfig and places the output into a file. This file is then sent to my address using sendmail. The script works fine, but I note that the output from ifconfig at this boot stage does not contain an IP address! Obviously, it is being assigned later on in the startup process. Either that or the command ifconfig does not work the same at this stage as it does once I am logged in. I require somebody with more expertise than I to comment on that.
Finally then, my question is, at what point in the startup process is an IP address assigned and the output from ifconfig would contain this address? Is there a more appropriate place rather than rc.local in which I should run my script? Is there a more appropriate command rather than ifconfig that ought to be used instead?
---------- Post added at 05:41 PM CST ---------- Previous post was at 05:30 PM CST ----------
Let me show you my attempted solution in more detail in case you're interested. The script is called .SendIP.bash and is located in my home directory. Here's what it looks like (with some censoring to protect me from public ridicule):
#!/bin/sh
# This script will send ifconfig information to my e-mail account.
# This allows me to have the latest IP address assigned to this computer.
cd /home/MyUserName
hostname > .IPmessage
date >> .IPmessage
ifconfig eth0 >> .IPmessage
sendmail -f$HOSTNAME MyAddress@MyCompany.com < .IPmessage
As I stated above, the output from ifconfig does not contain the IP address when my script is called from rc.local.
I have configured Sendmail client to send mail to outside network ( Within local domain ), but i am unable to send any mail as i am getting the following error,

I have a really weird (but consistent) problem with my Kubuntu 10.10 install: I cannot post some HTTP forms.
First off, this is a client PC problem. My squirrelmail on the server works fine. I just use squirrelmail 1.4.17 to troubleshoot the ubuntu desktop problem
I used an old (07.04) Ubuntu install which worked fine. Then I wiped the disk and installed Kubuntu 10.10 on the same hardware. Everything works but **some** HTTP post does not work (I can log in but not send mail or save draft). I noticed I cannot log in to Yahoo, for example.
My webhosting account can display the apache access_log. When I hit the <Send> button the POST request never arrives to the web server.
I use a router (Dlink DL-604) behind a DSL modem and ooma box. There is a Windows 7 PC and a Kubuntu PC connected to the router. I can use squirrelmail just fine from the Windows PC.
I tried several steps:
- reinstalled Kubuntu
- installed Firefox and Chromium (on top of reconq)
- ran from a CD on my other (Windows 7) PC
- installed Wireshark and compared the traffic (but was unable to pinpoint a problem)
The result was the same: the <Send> button just keeps waiting; the POST request never makes it to the web server.
This sounds (and is) scary and suspect. The fact that the "demo" Kubuntu install (from the CD on my other Windows PC) using the reconq exhibits the same problem on a totally different hardware leads me to believe this may be related to Kubuntu. For example, I had to type this very message on the Windows PC as I could not post it on the forum from my Kubuntu box.
