I m using sendmail-8.13.8-2.el5 along with MailScanner-4.79.11-1
i want to set a rule so that user1@mydomain.com can send only to anotherdomain.com domain. sending mail to any other domain will be rejected. can it be done by sendmail or MailScanner ??
Im trying to get postfix to filter my outgoing mail and basically drop everything that is not in my hash table.
So far I managed to get this going
Code:
Code:
Unfortunately those rules also apply to incoming messages. My goal is to disallow users on my host to change their "MAIL FROM" to anything they like and restrict them to domains I specify. I'm aware that the local part still is variable and a user of domain "foo.com" could use a email of domain "bar.com", but still some of my troubles would be solved if I get this running.
Working in a SW company. guys transfer their codes through email outside the company. mailserver running on postfix. Is there any method to filter mails according to contents of attachment not by file extension.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI just configured my first postfix mail server today. Everything is working correctly except for the fact that on all outgoing emails instead of the mail format being user@mydomain.biz it says user@hostnameofpostfixserver. I've looked everywhere I can think and I cant see where I'm substituting the host-name of the server for the domain name of my email. Where else could it be?Below is my main.cf. I am running ubuntu 9.10.# See /usr/share/postfix/main.cf.dist for a commented, more complete version# Debian specific: Specifying a file name will cause the first# line of that file to be used as the name.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm setting up a server and trying to make it *very* secure. Before I configured my web stack, I was about to install some security packages, Tiger and Samhain, but these packages wanted to install sendmail so that they can send outgoing notifications. From the reading I've been doing, I believe I want postfix instead of sendmail. It is my (perhaps mistaken) belief that installing postfix first will prevent them from installing this sendmail I do not want.
I want to install postfix with the following goals in mind:
* let PHP scripts send mail using the mail function.
* various system notification functions (cron, etc.) will be able to send their emails
* emails destined for root@localhost will be redirected to admin@mydomain.com
* let tiger and/or samhain send their notification emails
* NO INCOMING OR LOCAL MAIL IS PERMITTED. Because mail for my domain is handled by google apps, nobody will be checking mail on this server. Also, this server has very limited disk space. It is therefore very important that we don't have mail accumulating in boxes that will never be checked.
* no unnecessary ports, services, or cron jobs are running.
I've been reading a variety of pages that describe postfix setup on Ubuntu but these articles are imprecise, incomplete, and describe installation of things I don't want like POP/IMAP/etc.
There's also one final wrinkle. I will be setting up postfix to send via Amazon SES.
What is the easiest way to setup an incoming and outgoing mail server on centos? Without using a control panel, such was webmin.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI 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 setup mail server on Ubuntu 9.10 and it's is working fine.I am using Webmin to addministrate my mail server.My Ubuntu server name abcs.I send a test mail from Wedmin for user gom.Why it keep adding InfoNet. What I would like is setup as gom@abcs.com.

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].
View 1 Replies View RelatedWe run a service in which a customer types in a form and gets a confirmation email after submitting the form. We are on a server with no control panel. We are running CentOS 5.
When we did our testing sendmail sent mails just fine and I was able to receive them. After we went live we found that 75% of our emails are being rejected by other mail servers. Doing research is seems that the headers indicate the emails are coming from 127.0.0.1.
We need to correct this problem, as well as do everything we can to reduce the risk of our mails being marked as spam. We do not receive mail on this server, but rather send mail. We have another email server on another server for receiving mail for our domain, which is already configured with cPanel (which doesn't have a problem).
We can not use cPanel on this server because of certain security restrictions.
I know that sendmail is cryptic to configure. We are willing to switch to Exim if necessary.
As far as installing Exim, I understand it's as easy as:
yum install exim
yum remove sendmail
system-switch-mail (if installed)
But as far as setting up Exim for our needs.
i need is to have http and https allowed, together with mail server (incoming and outgoing) and ftp, ftps and ssh. all other ports have to be closed.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI recently decided I wanted a web server so I installed Ubuntu and apache2 on it and it works fine. I installed forums on the site as well and it's working fine to. Problem I don't know exactly what to do with the site so I haven't purchased a domain yet (so to access the site you just type in the ip address).
I know this sounds really weird but I want to know if I can make a mail server without a domain name. I kinda want to use it for e-mail verification for the forum. I have been following this tutorial: [URL] and it seems i need a domain name. Is it possible? Also I am not using Ubuntu server, would setting up a mail server be much easier on there (or rather, does it come with a mail server?)
I'm trying to set up an mail filter for our domain. At the moment we're using ClearOS as the filter, works OK but I still get something through and the blacklist and whitelist doesn't seem to work. I was hoping to set up a mail filter on my own, using Spamassassin and/or something else. It seems I have to buy subscription at ClearOS to make it update better or something. I might just do that, it's just tempting to find a way to do it on "my own". I tried to follow these instructions but I don't seem to go anywhere... ...I began with setting up the base server as it is shown there. I've setup quite a few Linux servers, mainly as firewall/gateway kind of things but also some DNS servers, web servers and so on.
I have one mail server and the mail filter is supposed to be on the outside to filter mail before it hits the mail server.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI was thinking about setting up my own mail server. Problem is my ISP will not let me have a static IP unless I upgrade to a Business class service which is just too expensive for home use. As a work around I use a DDNS service from Dlink, which is actually done via DYNDNS.com. So essentially I have mydomain.dlinkddns.com point to my Dynamic WAN IP, and it is all automatically managed by my router.
Is there a way I can haveoint to my mail server without it being a subdomain of my DDNS om)? In other words I would like to have the email someone@mymaildomain.com and not have it be dlinkddns.com or something like that. I know someone has done it, I just have never done it. Not quite sure what to google to find the answer myself either.
I am managing a Fedora dedicated server with Plesk 9 and just recently moved the email for one of the domains on the server to Google Apps for business. Unfortunately, I cannot get email messages from the website forms to deliver to addresses on this domain. For anyone familiar with Plesk, I have disabled mail in the hosting settings by un-checking the "Activate mail service on domain" checkbox and there are no accounts in the domain. (Other readings have indicated that this should be enough to allow mail to be directed to the appropriate server). My MX records correctly point to the google apps mail server.
I'm quite comfortable with command line, but I know almost nothing about the sendmail program or its alternatives and my attempts at researching how to set up this relay has been futile. I'm pretty sure I'm using sendmail and not qmail or anything else from what the red-hat style "alternatives" symlinks point to. I've also checked the /etc/mail/access, domaintable, mailertable, sendmail.cf, virtusertable, local-host-names, sendmail.cf, and submit.cf and most of these files are empty (except the .cf files), and the sendmail.cf and submit.cf make no reference to the domain in question.
Here is the output from a sendmail test that was was not received. (Private data omitted of course).
sendmail -v xxx@yyy.com
test email from yyy.com webserver. please ignore.

Performing the same test and sending an email to a non-hosted domain works fine.
I use a server with 3 nics,
eth0 192.168.2.100 (internal Web, Mail)
eth1 192.168.3.100 (Default Gateway nic for clients)
eth2 192.168.3.110 (should be default Gateway for all outgoing traffic not belonging to 192.168.2.100 and 192.168.3.100)
They are all on the same machine
i cannot set eth1 or eth2 as default gateway, as outside requests to eth0 would be handled in a false manner (somehow)
is there an easy iptables-rule to say, that outgoing traffic, not belonging to my networks can be redirected to a specific NIC (eth2)?
I'm using Debian 5.0.4 with shell access only, exim4 and mutt. I would like 'all' outgoing mail sent by any/all users to be auto'ed CC (not BCC) to a specified e-mail account for auditing purposes. I do have it working for BCC using 'unseen', but I really want it be CC. I have spent hours of searching/reading/testing and have not been able to find out how. I have seen it done on other shells I've been on as a user; any mail that I sent out, I did not see it was being CC'd but once the recipient received it was also addressed 'toaddr@thatshell.com').
It's not practical to add an alias for every user on the system (/etc/aliases) and to remember to do so each time adding a user. If I set in etc/profile alias mail= mail toaddr Users can still find ways around that.
I have a small home network running mail agents Evolution and Thunderbird, and connected to the internet via Comcast. Originally I used my campus office computer as a mail server, but encountered problmes because Comcast started blocking port 25, allegedly because of span problems. I need to change the setup on my campus office computer so it uses port 587 when functioning as an outgoing mail server.
Can anyone recommend a tutorial which tells me everything to do in order to accomplish that?
