Red Hat / Fedora :: Multiple Mail Is Sent To Aliases Group ?
May 10, 2009
I sent a mail to an aliases group from MS office 2003/2007 outlook. But every reciepient got four copies for that mail. It also occured another aliase group. The mail is configured in Linux Postfix.
l to a group in Linux? for example, I want to send a notification mail to 20 people and I want to create a group of these 20 people and want to send them the notification
I installed postfix on my ubuntu server.I have created some users.How can I create e-mail aliases?For example, I have a user named "light" and I want to create for him an e-mail address.
Have tried to setup email aliases in sendmail so I can have multiple address pointing to one linux login. However none of the aliases seem to be accepting mail.
I get the following error message when trying to send to them.
I have tried restarting sendmail, have mapped the /etc/mail/virtusertable across to virtusertable.db with the following command.
Code:
Output of sendmail -bv is as follows and looks correct.
Code:
Have also added new domain into local-host-names file. I am stuck on what is left to check and why the messages are getting bounced back.
I have a webserver setup, where i need the server to have multiple eht:0 aliases in order to do some SSL-vhosting and other stuff.
The servers eh0 is set up in /etc/network/interfaces (its an Ubuntu)
And i have added the eth aliases with : ifconfig eth0:1 123.231.213.123 up command.
This works great, i can use the additional IP�s for the SSL-vhosts, and all is good.
My problem now is that while the server itself has 1 IP, (and approx 20 IP on alias interfaces) it uses random (i think) IPs when it is to connect to other servers. E.g the main problem is that if a Vhost on the server sends out an email, the server uses a wrong IP in the headers. Thus making it seem like the email is coming from another IP than then on the Vhost it�s currently residing.
Currently, when the server connects to its smarthost in order to deliver emails, It connects from the IP that is bound to the eth0:0 interface, and not the IP bound to eth0 which is desired.
The question now is how do I sort out the IP�s so that all connections the server makes as a client, will use the first (Eth0) IP ?
And all the extra IP-adresses will only be used as "server addresses" not to make client requests.
Can anyone tell me what the pros and cons are between heirloom-mailx vs mailutils? This is for ubuntu 10.04 LTS. AT this point my only purpose is to use the mail command line program to occasionally send log output to email aliases.
Two exchange servers internally. One is setup for example.com (192.168.1.10) and the other is setup for example2.com (192.168.1.20) Both are behind a single public IP.
I want to use postfix to sit in front of the two exchange servers. Postfix will accept mail for both domains and relay to the appropriate server. I have postfix installed with only defaults at this point.
I am not familiar with LVM at all, although I have successfully got it up and running in Slackware. What I would like to know is, could I create one Volume Group in a Physical Volume consisting at the moment of just one disk, and install separate Linux releases into Logical Volumes in this solitary VG? So, for example:
OK I have multiple developers on a system and I have setup a area on the web server where they all should have access to and all that fun stuff. Now I do not want to setup these developers default group to be this single group cause they could be members of multiple groups...
IE:
/var/www/cust1 - Group Cust1 /var/www/cust2 - Group Cust2 etc...
Then say for the developers:
dev1 - member of Cust1 & Cust2 - Default group is dev1 dev2 - member of Cust2 - Default group is dev2 dev3 - member of Cust1 - Default group is dev3
So when they go into say /var/www/cust1 only dev1 & dev3 should have access to modify files and when they create/edit files the owner should be the user and the group I want it to be Cust1. Then when going to say the Cust2 area new files and stuff have Cust2 group access with RWX.
Is this possible for users to just use their normal accounts, or will I need to look are setting up "project" accounts where they can su into say dev1cust1 account which will have the default group of Cust1?
how you all handle this and what I might be able to do so that the permissions stick.
I want to add some users to multiple groups. syntax of the file to pass to ldapadd? or would I use lapmodify? Does one add/modify a user record to specify the groups that user is a member of? Or does one add/modify each group record to specify which users are members?
I am setting up a samba server to operate in a windows AD domain. I want to set permissions for multiple groups to have different levels of access to one group of files, and it looks to me like unix permissions will not do that? I always hear about how robust linux is, and it seems to me that their file permissions model is WEAK compared to microsoft's?
My system is F13 (upgraded from F11) with all of the latest patches available. I haven't gone through and combined all of the rpmnew configuration files, but none of them seem to address networking.I'm trying to get subinterfaces (secondary IP addresses) to work in Fedora 13. So far, I have been able to configure them on the command line, but not to get them to persist on booting.My base address for the NIC is: A.B.C.254. It is statically assigned.
I have a Slackware 12.1 box with mail server running on Postfix and Dovecot. My domain name is,say, [URL].. I have another domain, mail.xyz.net. I want to use both the domain for incoming. Like, someone sends mail to [URL]... otherone sends mail to user@xyz.net. Both the mail should be received.
Defining tcsh aliases through a .aliases file has worked perfectly for me for years and years using cygwin and older versions of mandriva. I am encountering very annoying and mysterious problems when attempting to do the same thing with a .aliases file in a fedora 64-bit VM. Strangely, if I define aliases in the file, they won't work, but if I do so on the command line, then they will.
Here's a simple example: Suppose I define an alias for "ls" in the file: alias ls '/bin/ls' Then source the file. This happens: me: ls : Command not found. me: alias ls /bin/ls me: /bin/ls file1 file2 file3 etc. me: unalias ls me: ls file1 file2 file3 etc. me: alias ls '/bin/ls' me: ls file1 file2 file3 etc.
A second example: if I place either of these lines in my .aliases file: alias d '/bin/ls -alF !:1' alias d '/bin/ls -alF !*'and source the alias file, this happens:/ me: d Bad ! arg selector. However, if I define the alias on the command line: / me: alias d '/bin/ls -alF !*'then the alias behaves correctly:/ me: dtotal 376 drwxr-xr-x. 10 r r 4096 Apr 14 16:05 ./ drwxrwxr-x. 6 r r 4096 Feb 21 16:15 ../ drwxr-xr-x. 3 r r 4096 Apr 14 16:05 bin.v2/ -rwxr-xr-x. 1 r r 193872 Apr 14 15:35 bjam* -rw-r--r--. 1 r r 52804 Apr 14 17:20 bjam.my.log drwxr-xr-x. 77 r r 4096 Nov 17 09:49 boost/ -rw-r--r--. 1 r r 989 Nov 17 04:51 boost.css
I've recently purchased a laptop so I've been focusing on getting my data synchronized between my laptop and PC. The problem is as follows, I have 8+ email accounts and I prefer to have them all in 1 single map tree instead of a separate tree for every one of them. This means IMAP is out of the question, so I've been thinking about a few things but I'm not too sure if there's anything out there for some of these things.
Option 1 - Unison Synchronization Using Unison to synchronize the Thunderbird profiles, problem is Thunderbird can't be running on both machines
Option 2 - IMAP mail hub for all accounts Somehow turn my server into a mail hub that gets email for all my accounts, and serve them through IMAP somehow, only problem that might be is that reply-to won't send a mail back with the same mail address people mailed to (Don't know that for sure).
Option 3 - POP3 mail hub Same as option 2 but with a central POP3 hub that will keep all mails forever, should be doable.
Not viable option - Turn off mail deletion on server. This ain't viable because this will either cause some of the mail servers to clog up, especially if I were to only turn deletion on on 1 pc. So it seems the POP3 hub is best, and then just let that delete everything off of the remote servers, is this possible, I've tried setting up a mail daemon before but failed miserably (But will try again if it will make this possible).
how can i configure my server to send mails from about ten different domains i use google apps and want to know if its possible. Because it sends mail but all goes to spam and i have a static ip
Over the past week or so, I've posted a few message about what looked like general stability problems in lucid, then problems specifically with Thunderbird.
Today I found it isn't just Thunderbird. I tried Claws Mail and Kmail, and all of them exhibit the same symptoms as Thunderbird:
- The app randomly hangs, crashes or stops connecting to the mail server.
- Quitting the app randomly takes down other applications. (Uh-oh -- modern OSs are supposed to prevent one application from corrupting another.)
- Once the problems start, any application is likely to have stability problems -- e.g., this morning, when Kmail started buggering up, I launched the software center to uninstall it and the window never appeared. A box showed up in the window panel at the bottom of the screen at first, but when it was time to draw the window, kaboom.
(I'm currently not using Evolution because of issues with syncing message deletion back to the server. Plus, at least once, Evolution lost its connection to the mail server. I don't remember serious instability with it, but I wasn't looking for the instability either. It might well be just as bad as the others.)
So, we have an issue triggered by multiple applications, and the issue is not limited to one unstable process on the machine (one unstable process makes other processes unstable). That smells like a kernel bug.
I'm wondering if anyone else has seen anything like this? I'm using the amd64 version on a MSI A6200, Intel Core i3 processor. I'll have to doublecheck the kernel version. When I installed the OS, it was (something-something).21 and now (after the first round of automatic system updates) it's .24 - "something-something" is whatever the standard kernel is when you download the amd64 CDROM image.
As long as I'm not running a mail client (apparently, any mail client), the system is stable. So it looks very much like there is something that mail clients do, which other applications tend not to do, which is broken.
I'm running a server with two sites which both need to be able to send emails. Currently I have Postfix set up to send email via Google Apps. This works fine, but Google's servers ignore the From: address I specify and substitute the one I logged in with. Is there a way to make Postfix log into Google Apps with a different username based on what site the email is coming from? The server does not recieve any mail itself; Google recieves it and we have it set to forward it to the appropriate person's real email address. I'm only worried about sending mail.
(Postfix is not a requirement here, so if there's another mailer that can do this better, I'm open to ideas. However, sending email directly from the server isn't an option as it's a residential IP address and blocked by most of the big email providers.)
Im moving all my websites on a dedicated box. I had a cpanel hosting account, and now moving to a terminal and ssh system.I need some advice on choosing my mail setup. I need POP, SMTP, with multiple domains, as host for a few clients.I would like the most simple version.The server will only send +- 100 mails / day.I currently running Ubuntu Linux 10.04.
I have recently setup an Ubuntu 10.04 Minimal x64 Server. I plan on setting it up as a mail server. I need a secure server, that has spam prevention on it. Im setting up around 50 domains and would like a web based control panel. What is the most secure mail server, that i can setup for multiple domains?
As a part of migration I am proposing different scenarios to my organization. One which is asked to prepare is to configure multiple mail servers to handle incoming and outgoing mails. Say I have -[URL], I need to have accept mails from [URL] and send mail from [URL].
I just added my login id to /etc/aliases to forward root's local e-mail to my local e-mail account in evolution.
As always, when I make a change to /etc/aliases, I run newaliases. I now get the following, and root's mail is not showing up in my local mail Inbox:
Code:
Is this correct?
I understand my hostname (i.e., Eng-Lab-010) is not a fully qualified host name, but I never had a problem before. But it appears this not a good thing. What should I do?
I have installed F11 on my server bythis article! I have problem with certificatewhen I connectin from clients computers to my mail server for reciving mail! I have warning like this
This is the current setup that we have: We have approx 20 clients who pay us to send out a type of e-mail called an E-Blast to their customers. We currently are using 5 Microsoft Windows Virtual Servers to do this. The problem is that those machines are starting to break down. There are times that it will take Microsoft Windows approx 9-10 hours to complete 1 job. This is way too long. We want to move away from Microsoft Windows for this particular type of job as it seems there are more customers who are wanting to use this type of advertising.
It seems that using a Linux Server "Command Line or Shell" environment would be the best way to go as there is no GUI like Windows. Since there is just text...that is something that would/should process very, very quickly.
I am in the process of setting up a new SMTP outbound mail server. This is the current software & configuration (what is installed on this new machine):
All of the customer data (Names, E-Mail Addresses, etc that these e-mails are going to) are currently loaded in a Microsoft SQL Database.
My machine that I am using is plugged into the DMZ. I have 1 ip address for the 1 network card. I have also added/bound 4 more ip addresses to that network card.
I have configured Postfix for Multiple IP Addresses.
I can, from the command line, send successful test e-mails and receive them in my personal account.
As far as I know everything is setup correctly. I can and will post requested information so that it can be verified that everything is setup correctly.
Here are a couple of my questions:
Ensure that I have my Network / Interfaces file and my Postfix's Master.cf/Main.cf files setup correctly?
How can I setup this server to be an Outbound SMTP server and get it to use all 5 of the IP Addresses to send these e-mails quickly?
What can I use to check and ensure that this server is in fact sending out emails on all 5 IP
Addresses (I heard that there is a program named "Postal" that may help in determing this).
I want to configure a single mail server to send and receive mail from multiple sub domains of my domain. I've already installed Postfix/Dovecot and it is perfectly working for mydomain.com. And also installed roundcube for Web Mail. Can I further customize this setup to process mail to sub domains? ex- someone@subdomain1.mydomain.com, someone@subdomain2.mydomain.com, someone2@subdomain1.mydomain.com (someone@subdomain1.mydomain.com and someone@subdomain2.mydomain.com are 2 separate users. they should be able to log on to web interface separately)
Currently i use system account names as email user names. (ex - systemusername@mydomain.com). The only MX record in my domain DNS pointed to current server (mailhost.mydomain.com). I read about postfix virtual domains. but couldnt figure out how to use it to achive my target. I do not need configuration details. Just explain me the way to do it. I can do the rest my self.
