I want to have an inn server running on my own server, both to relay my prefered newsgroups and to manage my own newsgroups.
I installed inn with YaST, but I'm lost in the inn documentation. I'm pretty sure openSUSE defaults solve most problems but can't find where I have to setup my own config
I have Ubuntu and I want to setup a mailserver. I use fetchmail to fetch mail But I wanted to configure fetchmail with fetchmailconf. I know, I can edit the configfile, but I wanted to use fetchmailconf. According to the man of fetchmail, fetchmailconf is very handy.
In synaptic, I installed fetchmail 6.3.2.2Ubuntu2.3 and I wanted to install fetchmailconf 6.3.2.2Ubuntu2 : well it didnt work fetchmailconf 6.3.2.2Ubuntu2 needs fetchmail 6.3.2.2Ubuntu2. So, no worries: I searched the internet for fetchmailconf 6.3.2.2Ubuntu2.3, but I couldn't find any. Same with fetchmail6.3.2.2Ubuntu2
First of all, I want to flame synaptic for supplying 2 different versions for 2 pieces of software that only work with eachother. Second: where can I find 2 matching versions? Or fix synaptic or maybe someone has a really cool solution?
I just set up a new router for our home office. I've enabled traffic logging, and I'd like to have the logs emailed to me. However, in order to configure email-notification, the router needs and outgoing mail server. Forgive me, but I don't really understand the terminology being used here. I've googled this a bit, but I'm not sure I now what "outgoing" vs "incoming" mean in the context. I tried using my gmail account as the outgoing mail server (smpt.gmail.com) but it requires TTLS encryption, and there's no option for that on my router.
So I figured I'd setup a simple mail server on my local network. I have a dedicated server machine, so I'd just configure a mail server there. But I got stumped at the first input box (in the yast module):"Outgoing Mail Server".That's what I wanted to use this server for. What is this "outgoing mail server"? I understand it in a normal emai context (I think) but this is confusing me. I've read through the HowTo on the openSUSE wiki, but it still doesn't answer this question.Isn't there some way to have a simple, local mail server (without MX records and the like) so I can send email from a local machine?
I have a domain name relik.ath.cx with a mud and an html page and now Im working on my own personal mail server preferably with the first email on it [URL].
I was asked to install a mail server for the company I work for 'cause the mail fowarding service is getting pretty expensive. As an openSUSE user I decided to use my beloved distro for that task rather than a Windows 2003 Server. I want to avoid using MS Windows OS and use openSUSE so I can introduce this "new" technology to the company. I have the evil () plan to progressively migrate from MS Windows to Linux and this is an excelent opportunity for showing what is Linux capable of. Unfortunately I'm a rooky Linux admin and I could not get any satisfactory results yet. For testing purposes I managed to point an MX record to an static ip address (200.69.219.57) using No-Ip service. I've tested it using dig unitan.sytes.net MX command.
Then I installed openSUSE using 3 hdd, 1 for system files and directories and 2 setting up a RAID 1 array mounted under /var directory because I've read that there is where the e-mails will be stored. I've followed a couple of documents presented in these forums to no avail. I did install the system using LDAP but I could not get/install/create any certificate so users could not authenticate (Dovecot said so)
I have a LAMP server and need a web page to send email messages. I could do it with my Win 2k server through my cable service but can't seem to get it to work here.
setting up my LAMP server to send email messages through my cable network SMTP server. If you respond please realize that I am new to linux/apache. I cannot send emails out with the built in email server on Suse and don't even know if it is enabled. I used to do it with my IIS/ColdFusion server but there were options for the outbound SMTP server and authentication. I have searched and think I have to use something called Pear but to be honest the instructions are vague to say the least and it all looks greek to me.
Probably because I don't know what to put in some of the fields.So; all I want to do is to run my own e-mail server for my business. The network is set up, the web server is running, but I'm having no end of trouble with YAST and the e-mail server.I have a single server running open suse 11.3 32 bit. It is attached to a modem/router. I have a static IP address for my registered domain. The server has a static IP address (192.168.1.8 in this case). My server is NOT running either a DHCP server nor a DNS server - there is no need, since there is nothing else on this box. It has only one network connection - eth0.
I'm trying to set up an e-mail server. I have been unable to get an 'advanced' implementation to work because all attempts to create a suitable server certificate fail. So for now I'll stick with a 'standard' set up.I don't know what I should put in such fields as 'outgoing mail server' (I've assumed I should use the FQDN of my server);I've no idea what 'masquerading' is for or what I should do with it;I don't know what I'm supposed to put in the 'outgoing mail server' in the 'authentication' section;I don't know what to put in the 'downloading' section;and I don't know what 'accept remote SMTP connections' does.I can get the server to start, but any attempt to retrieve e-mail from it ends in an authorisation failure - the syslog shows a sign-on attempt from my 'real' IP address and some form of numeric userid which cannot be found.So, if anyone can tell me what to put in YAST to make it work, I'd be a very happy chap.
Yes, I can telnet to 'my.server.my.domain' 25, so something must be right. But my Linux knowledge is not enough to get it working properly.
How do I activate static DNS for mobile broadband. I can't find any place to write down this information. Settings are made in Network Manager - not Yast.
I 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:
I just installed suse on this computer, and am wanting to allow other computers to store files on it as a file server. I was reading the online manual and in the personal file preferences, it shows an option to enable 'share public files over network'. The problem is I don't see that option when I open up file preferences. All I see is an option to allow sharing using bluetooth, nothing about sharing over the network. When I look in the network I can see the computer running suse, but when I try to connect to it, it says 'unable to mount drive: connection refused by server.'
I'd like to have a set up where my Ethernet card has a static IP set up but my WiFi card doesn't.Currently I have a profile for this set up in Network Manager, however on boot up and every time I replug the cable Network Manager chooses the default "auto eth1" profile. I manually have tochoose my own profile for the Ethernet card every time. How can I make it default??I know the workaround would be to use ifup but then I lose the ability to quickly change access points for my WiFi card so that's not a solution for me
New SUSE 11.3 install connects to network/internet etc OK with DHCP-assigned IP address. When I switch to static IP, I can no longer ping internal network, or anything else. This works OK with SUSE 11.2 on same hardware and (as far as I can see) same setup. Some diagnostics are shown below.
Firewall Disabling the firewall makes no difference.
Not using a network manager (can't see how to assign fixed address if I do - all greyed out).
ifup eth0: eth0 device: Intel Corporation 82540EM Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 02) SuSEfirewall2: Warning: no default firewall zone defined, assuming 'ext' (not sure why the warning - eth0 is assigned to external in the firewall setup).
I have installed fedora 14 minimum install and I have configured my machine for Static IP but now i cant reach any external sites or repository, in fact all i can do is ssh to the box. below is the configuration in my /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 file:
and my DNS is setup to point to my ISP's primary and secondary DNS servers. I have brought the interface down then up after each change but still cannot ping anything.
My DNS server is baring 192 series IP for ex: 192.168.10.100, need to configureloadbalancer IP in that DNS server, where loadbalancer is baring 172 series IP. for ex : 172.56.67.19.is it possible to cofigure the loadbalancer ip in DNS server? if it is, please let me know the configuration details and procedure.
My goal is to have users(Unix Users like root on host1) use evolution /sendmail to send and receive emails between users( Unix users either from host1 or any other host on n a private network. The network is a private network with a few servers without any connection to Internet and no DNS. They resolve one another by /etc/hosts. with smtp configured am able to send and receive emails on one machine(host1) from unix user abc on host1 to user xyz on host1 and vice versa. the commad i used to test is host1@abc #echo "this is a test mail" |mailx zyx@host1 But when i tried sending from user abc on host1 to user xyz on host2 its giving error for DNS unable to resolve hostname.
the commad i used to test is host1@abc# echo "this is a test mail" |mailx zyx@host2 create a simple sendmail config so that i can send mails between multiple hosts using unix usernames within one network. I can use one of the server as mail server and rest as clients. I dont want to configure any other softwares for pop or imap access. I want to keep it simple and use evolution on the clients to send emails between one another on the private network without internet.
I have a devolo MicroLink 56k Fun LAN modem, which I could configure in openSuse 11.2 as an DSL device. With 11.2 it worked fine. But it isn't possible in 11.3 to configure it, because I cannot set the dial up internet provider phone number for this DSL device.I also tried it to configure it as a modem, but then it used the /dev/modem device, which is the wrong device for this LAN modem.
We're trying to replicate something that Windows servers can do. Basically on a Windows box, you can give it a static IP address, but there is an option to have it update the DNS server with it's IP and hostname. We are trying to do this on SUSE 11.I know I can get this function to work on SUSE if the box is set up as with DHCP. What we're having difficulty is when the server is set up as a Static IP to get it to update the DNS server
I have virtual box installed which automatically installed bridges for my network adapters. This has always worked fine. I'm attempting to set up a static IP for this machine now. I use NetworkManager, and the physical connection (eth0) is set to static IP of 0.0.0.0, and the bridge (br0) attached to eth0 was set to DHCP. I changed br0 to my desired static IP and lost net connectivity (I'm talking about the host, not the virtual machine - I'll get the host working first). Re-enabling DHCP restores connectivity. So I don't know what the problem is, but I am unable to assign a static IP to the bridged connection. Do I have to do this differently? Do I need to remove the bridge so I am using just eth0 again, assign the static IP to eth0, and then re-install the bridge? I haven't tried that yet because a) I don't know how to remove & reinstall the bridge, because it was done automatically by Virtual Box installation, and b) I could probably do that if I had the time figure it out but right now I don't.
I set up a static IP on wlan0 on another machine using Network Manager and it works fine. That machine also has Virtual Box installed but for some reason doesn't have the bridged connections. (Perhaps because it runs Ubuntu, not OpenSUSE, if that makes any difference)
Our F14 server is looses access to the network once we set a static IP.The same IP, if used on any other pc works fine.We had the same exact setup in our F10 server also.
I have been using OpenLDAP 2.4 with OpenSuse 11 without any issues but I now want to configure replication and can't see how it's done . The OpenLDAP 2.4 admin guide refers to the slapd.conf configuration file but this is not used by YaST.
Recently our sys administrator decided to go to static IPs from the earlier assigned dynamic ones. This has created some havoc in my open suse 11 and I do not have access to network. I tried using the YAST network configuration manager, after everything is done it shows 'network wired' but unable to ping.
how I can define a local static IP address (so that I can run a web server off of the same IP, rather than letting my router DHCP it)?I've tried doing the YaST->Network Devices->Network Settings->Traditional Method with ifup->Set NIC to desired IP->Set Default Gateway to router address method, and afterwards I can't even get into my router anymore (not even responding to ping).
