Fedora :: Postfix Or Sendmail Virtuser?
Aug 6, 2009browser just crashed trying to upload the config file at the end, so I fi miss something, sorry.I have been trying over the past few days to get either postfix or sendmail to properly forward my emails. I have made an entry in virtusers (for both postfix and sendmail) as:[URL]..I know that they these files are mapped correctly because I did an entry of:[URL].. that worked, it sent it to root's mailbox. I got this to work in both sendmail of postfix. What the problem is that when I point it to an external domain (ex. name@gmail.com), it fails, and the email gets lost somewhere on my server (I have yet to fine where they are going). The other thing I noticed is when I send an email from my server (via php) and send it to test (or whatever)@example.com the catchall works, and sends the email to my gmail address. Is this virtuser only applicable for outgoing email? Or is something else wrong?

Dec 12, 2008I have isntalled a server with Centos 5.2 OS, now I would like to switch from the default sendmail to postfix doing a yum install postfix I've noticed there is already available an rpm version for the OS but I would like to compile my own 2.5 version, I've noticed compiling from source does not allow me to use the mail switcher to tell to the system I'm gonna use Postfix instead of Sendmail as the default MTA while this is possible when I use the "official" rpm version of the package. Now my question is this, would this be a problem? There is some specific procedure/best practice I should follow? Or once compiled and configured Postfix I can safely disable/uninstall sendmail?

General :: Safe To Remove Sendmail By Running "yum Erase Sendmail" And Let Postfix Handles "mailx" Also?
Sep 5, 2010I have installed postfix and dovecot on my server and thought postfix will not only take SMTP connection from my e-mail client like Outlook, but also handles "mailx" commands from the server. However, it looks like sendmail is still responsible for sending mails from "mailx". I tested this by turning it on/off using "service sendmail stop" and "service sendmail start". Mails sent using "mailx" will only be sent when sendmail is up. When I did "yum info sendmail", it lists sendmail as an installed package. Is is safe to remove sendmail by running "yum erase sendmail", and let postfix handles "mailx" also?

May 27, 2010I have configured Postfix, mysql and Dovecot according to following guide. [URL] My issue is When I'm Install dovecot ( using yum command). it Didn't create a "/usr/lib/dovecot/deliver" folder.Then my mail.log trace this error message
Code:

Command output: pipe: fatal: pipe_command: execvp /usr/lib/dovecot/deliver: No such file or directory )
After that I have create "/usr/lib/dovecot/deliver' folder. Then I have set permission using follwing command.
Code:
mkdir /usr/lib/dovecot/deliver
chown vmail /usr/lib/dovecot/deliver
Now My log file trace this message

how to set permission for this? Or My configuration is wrong?

Server :: Sendmail To Postfix Migration?
Oct 25, 2010I have a lightweight admin background, but good enough to set up most servers. I have switched from sendmail to postfix for the first time, but I keep going around in circles on the following. In sendmail, I used to maintain a table (mailertable) where I would redirect email like this
[Code]....
I happily mapped any incoming email address of any valid hosted domain either to go out to it's final destination via smtp, or if the person has a local mailbox, it delivered locally. Any errors could be forced, and a catch-all for the domain could be directed also.
I've struggled with virtual hosts and transport and a combination of the two to come up with the same result for postfix. I have this feeling I'm missing something really simple, or I am not 'getting it' when I'm doing something postfixy and I still have sendmaily expectations. right path so I will at least know I'm pointing in the right direction and working with the right files to achieve my aims? Postfix is so amazingly powerful and flexible, I'm having trouble figuring this bit out.
I have this feeling I just need a calm hand on my shoulder, a friendly smile and a hand pointing me the right way..
Fedora Servers :: Configure Email Address Alias Using Regular Expression In Postfix?
Mar 8, 2010I am trying to configure virtual alias using regular expression.
For example :
Email send to user.1@example.com and user.2@example.com will deliver to user mailbox.
Email send to user2.1@example.com and user2.2@example.com will deliver to user2 mailbox.
And the numbers or alphabet in between user name and the domain will be vary , I can't just do a normal alias.
I been try to play around with main.cf and the virtual alias table but still not able to get work. So I am not sure is the main.cf didnt configure correctly or the regular expression is not working.

General :: SMTP AUTH, Sendmail Client To Postfix Server?
Dec 2, 2010I'm hoping someone here can help, as I've been beating my head on the wall for a week now with little advancement. I've found a number of tutorials on setting this up, however none of them have gotten me 100% of the way there. Here's my situation: home-based Fedora server (Core 8), running sendmail 8.14.2-1. Connecting to hosting company's smtp server over port 587, to bypass Verizon's blocking of port 25.
My /etc/mail/sendmail.mc file looks like this (comment lines removed):Quote:

CentOS 5 Server :: Cannot Get Sendmail Or Postfix To Send A 220 Response - Nor Respond With Details
Aug 11, 2009I cannot get either sendmail or postfix to send a 220 response, nor respond with details. See below for sample telnet output. Details: I have a server that requires email, but only for light use. I'm definitely not an expert, but I have set up a sendmail configuration on a previous server. I tried to configure sendmail first and then postfix later, when I couldn't get sendmail working. I'm not sure exactly what the problem is, but I have a feeling the following might yield some important information. Note: this is the result for Postfix, but virtually the same thing happened with sendmail, too. That is, initially the telnet connection would close immediately. Afterwords, I could connect a second time but then it never responded with a 220 banner nor any 250's.

General :: How To Configure The Sendmail
Jan 15, 2011I have a apache server installed on my system which I use for testing out stuff like wordpress and forums. I use the server for learning stuff only. I would like to know what do I have to do so that these blogs, forums etc can send an email when someone registers. I guess most of these use sendmail to send email. So how do I configure sendmail so that it sends email using my gmail address and smtp. Also I think there is a php mail option (or something called like that) that allows us to send email without having sendmail installed.

General :: Configure Sendmail (Serve Two Domains) For Slackware
Apr 19, 2010I'm configuring sendmail that runs on Linux Slackware but find some difficulties to do some quick startup due to its complexity and massive documentation. Suppose I want to configure a sendmail that can serve 2 domains:
ethereal1m.no-ip.com
ethereal2m.no-ip.com
I use noip2 client software to connect with noip server that translates the dynamic IP addressed domains, setups POP, and does forwarding. By having 2 domains, I want to able to send email between admin@ethereal1m.no-ip.com and admin@ethereal2m.no.ip.com;therefore, my machine acts as both a server and a client. How can I setup sendmail so that it acts as both server and client? How to register email address and its domain on sendmail?
