Red Hat / Fedora :: Mailserver Have To Have Direct Access To WAN Or Can It Be A LAN Device With Just One NIC ?
Apr 22, 2010
Does a mailserver have to have direct access to WAN or can it be a LAN device with just one NIC ?
We have two WAN access points.
One is an adsl router joined to the switch and all seems fine for internet browsing.
The other is a wireless system with a linksys router joining by way of PPPoE and this appears to connect fine.
This PPPoE is direct to our ISP and where we need to downlod our mail to our pending mailserver.
When the linksys router is also joined to the switch all devices can use either the adsl or linksys to roam the net. 192.168.1.1 linksys & 192.168.1.10 is adsl.
When I join the linksys direct to the mailserver I will then need two NIC's. One for the Linksys and one for the LAN.
This is where the fun has started.
So.... Can I just have one NIC (connected to the switch) on the mailserver?

I am using a Dell Inspiron 14R laptop that came with Windows 7 Home Basic. The partitions of my hard disk before installing Fedora 15 were:
Dell (OEM Partition)
OS (C: ) (Primary Partition)
RECOVERY (Primary Partition)
New Volume (E: ) (Logical Drive)
I tried shrinking my C: drive (which has Windows) but couldn't do so hence performed the procedure on E: instead. I did this to create a 15GB unformatted space to install Fedora in. While installing Fedora, I chose the option "Use Free space" under Disk Partitioning Setup but the OS got installed in E: drive. Currently, I am able to use both Windows and Fedora under dual-boot but the problem I am facing is that when working with Windows, I am unable to see drive E: in Computer.
Windows Disk Manager is able to detect the partition and is showing it to be healthy (1st screenshot). Its name now is New Volume and neither am I able to change its path or letter (Error: incorrect parameters) nor am I able to check it using "chkdsk" (Error: cannot open volume for direct access/ GUI doesn't work as well) (2nd screenshot). On the other hand, I am able to access both the partitions in Fedora.
Another point to mention is that after finishing the installation of Fedora, when I started Windows, the Disk Manager as well as Dell DataSafe showed that the Windows Recovery drive had been formatted (maybe inappropriate terminology!) and was no longer retrievable. To rectify this problem, I restored my Windows to before Fedora was installed and I seem to have got the Recovery drive back (1st screenshot) (before doing this, it was nameless and empty).

I recently set up a mailserver on ubuntu using postfix. I set up the MX record with my router's ip address and I have port 25 forwarding all the mails to the ubuntu server. Everything works fine but I am unable to access my email using example.com/squirrelmail from any other machine apart from the server.

How can one have direct access to key strikes. Normally the key strikes that collected by the concerned programme and access to the same is not available to any other user programs. I am trying to write a program to simultaneously catch the key strikes. Obviously for this would require a low-level access to the keyboard. How can one do it ?

I have a single board computer previously running DOS. I recently made Linux running on it. Now that the system is running Linux, I have to translate the code that was supported by DOS. The code has segments that allow direct access of memory mapped registers through the macro _MK_FP and do read/write. I have read that where DOS allows this kind of direct memory access, Linux does not. Is there a way to do this in Linux?

Running Ubuntu Netbook remix on a Toshiba NB500-upgraded to 2 Gigabytes RAM. Very slow opening applications via the side icons. 8-12 seconds. Is that normal for this distro?
- No 3D cube. Installed related compiz software, adjusted settings, ticked cubes etc. Not a peep.
- No direct desktop access. Only via side icons. Just find it fiddly re: using desktop and changing background via side icons.
Couple other items (MBB for one) but for another category.

I've got an Hitachi Deskstar 164GB IDE drive which I've somehow managed to upset while attempting to swap distros. I'm guessing its lost the MBR as I can't get a PC to see it except in the BIOS. The BIOS tells me that the primary master has 164GB, Cylinders 65535, Head 16, Precomp 0, Landing zone 65534 and Sector 255. (my understanding of that info is very limited). The PC won't boot direct from the hdd and a live Knoppix disc can't see it. Trying fdisk -l produces no list. (Naturally, I can't install another distro on it either).

Normally all I/O goes through the kernel so that it can schedule the operations and prevent processes from stepping on each other. A few special user processes are allowed to slide around the kernel, usually by being given direct access to I/O ports. X servers are the most common example of this isn't it ? give examples for any other processes that are allowed to slide around the kernel ?

Still trying to get that elusive simple mail server. Have install Centos 5 (20 time!) and updated software. Have got the system to see www and now about to do the mailserver thing. One of the first steps is to install Clamav yet this does not show on the package list for the program add delete gui. Tried yum install clamav and got message back that it wasn't available.
Google advises that I must first install rpmforge but at the same time has a warning from the maker of yum that this is dangerous to do Clamav is clearly a very popular antivirus scanner yet Centos 5 does not include it or allow you to install it?

I updated quite a lot - kernel, selinux policies, initscripts, glibc and a lot more - and after reboot one filesystem does not mount. It says:Command failed: Can not access device... and asks for password. This is: RAID -> LVM (mirrored) -> LUKS -> ext3. Similar filesystem (raid->lvm(not mirrored)->luks->ext3) mounts fine. Mounting the problematic system by hand works fine. During boot, the lvm blockdev is named by UUID in crypttab, and the name used in fstab.
Of course I removed it from fstab to boot now. I tried downgrading initscripts so far, will try others. What I also noticed is that the emergency shell (bash) complains about something, I'd need to write it down next time I reboot; also "lvs" fails when / is ro, but maybe that's normal, dunno.Googling for the error message brought something about cryptsetup, but I didn't upgrade it (there is no upgrade available), and all I gather from it is that the error message might really mean something else, like device is already mapped.
It is probably something related to lvm mirrors, maybe also to luks, though the only related package in the list is the kernel, maybe the module-init-tools. SELinux seems not to be the cause, booting with permissive has the same problem. What I wrote above, leads me to thinking that luks is trying to set up lvm mirrors in parallel as they have the same uuid, but a) later during boot the mapping name is not there b) I have no idea what reads crypttab

I'm trying to move an existing FC10 install (created by someone else) from a 160GB WD1600AAJS SATA disk to a 160GB WD1600AAJB PATA disk (cursed trend of horizontally mounting SATA connectors at the end of the motherboard means the latest rev mobo doesn't fit in our enclosure!). I've used DD to copy the disk image from one to the other, but when attempting to boot, I get the following error:
Code:
Unable to access resume device (UUID=946f216f-0c24-4b02-a996-f42059970de7)
mount: error mounting /dev/root on /sysroot as ext3: no such file or directory
That particular UUID maps to sda2, which is the swap partition. Interestingly, both the SATA and PATA disk come up as /dev/sda on the motherboard. I kind of grok that the UUIDs are substitutes for directly naming the disks, and that they're referred to in fstab, initrd-2.6.27.12-170.2.5.fc10.i686.img, and in /dev/disk/by-* I'm guessing the problem is that the GUIDs (at least the one for swap) are no longer the same. How are they assigned to the partitions during boot?
I tried doing
Code:
swapoff -a
mkswap /dev/sda2
swapon -a
and put that new GUID in fstab and into initrd-* (using some steps I found elsewhere on how to gunzip/rezip it).At that point, I get a kernel panic on boot
Code:
Kernel panic - not syncing: CFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)
So I'm guessing that the other UUUDs have changed as well and I need to update them. How would I figure out what they are? I suppose I could change the references to /dev/sda*, but I didn't build this original image and I'm thinking whoever did had a good reason to go with UUIDs.

I am using LDAP to manage the autofs and everything works fine. I have a situation here that I can't figure out how to do. I need to use 2 direct map in auto.master, but the LDAP service doesn't allow me to add 2 "cn: /-" entries in the directory.
The following is my auto.master map:
dn: ou=auto.master,ou=autofs,ou=dolphin,dc=example,dc= com,dc=my
objectClass: automountMap
objectClass: top
ou: auto.master
dn: cn=/-,ou=auto.master,ou=autofs,ou=dolphin,dc=example,dc =com,dc=my
objectClass: automount
objectClass: top
automountInformation: ldap://ldap.example.com.my/ou=auto.iso.indirect,ou=autofs,ou=dolphin,dc=examp le,dc=com,dc=my
cn: /-
I have another ldap entry auto.data.indirect but I have no idea how to inject it into the directory. Any ideas how to implement it? I am using Fedora 13.

I have a need to start an application on bootup on the linux console and I do not have a need for any type of login or security. I do not need any ALT-F1,F2,etc virtual consoles but I would like to allow SSH access via the network port for debugging, loading, etc.
The application is a SDL graphics program running with fbcon as the SDL_VIDEODRIVER if that matters. I'm currently using Fedora 10 and 12 but any distro that supports SDL using the fbcon framebuffer would be acceptable.

I have two boxes, 1- Centos router, 2- centos web/mail server..
When trying to receive mail using mail.xxx.xxx in the mail client server settings, it will not resolve to any machine on the internal network... I have to enter the internal IP address in the incoming and outgoing email settings..
Same with the website I host.. I have to enter the internal IP to get access..
It just will not resolve the DNS on the internal network.
Everything works as it should outside my network.

I am trying to set up a mailer server on Lucid Lynx using mostly this guide: [url]
I believe I have most of the basics covered. But before launching into the the advanced set up, I want to see if I can get help with one thing I am finding difficult to understand.
In terms of my domain name www.example.com, do I have to do anything on my hosting company's side? That is, www.example.com currently have my web site and it is hosted on a private server at a hosting company. I have the ip address of the server. When I configured postfix, i used this same domain name in the configurations so I want to know what else to do to get it working.

I am using this command (inside a bash script) to check if mailserver is running correctly (port 25)
# echo | telnet localhost 25 | grep "Connected to "
If it does not respond I receive an email alter.
It works good , but sometime it NEVER respond (neither after 1 hour) , so I receive no notification . DO you know alternative command to the command above ?

I have already configured the MTA.
I also configured the MDA(Dovecot). After I configured the MDA and tried to login on squirrelmail, plenty of MySQL error was generated.
I deleted Dovecot and tried again to login on squirrelmail. Now, this message appears:

I want to run a mail server from within debian linux guest with vmware workstation xp host. The setup is a bridged network connection
Here are things that need to be done:
a)Configure the Guest with a static IP on my home network. Verify that I can telnet to port 25 of the Guest from a system on my home network.
b)Then configure my home firewall/NAT box to forward incoming connections on TCP port 25 to the static IP address I gave my Guest. Then test that I can telnet to port 25 from a system outside my home network.
c)After that I need to configure the appropriate DNS records for my domain so that outside hosts know how to contact my mailserver.
