I'm using ubuntu, not seeing any errors within the logs so I'm looking for some advice on why MailScanner is starting postfix? (i.e. if both are stopped, I should only need to start MailScanner instead of both applications, correct?)
Looking through the MailScanner.conf I so see this section code...

Is there any way can read content of email in queue? Or emails sent in few last seconds?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am newbie to postfix. I added a new domain to my postfix server in the main.cf under mydestinations variable and the relay_domains file. Also, added this domain to my backend exchange server. When I send a test message from the new domain, my messages from that domain appear to be stuck in the "queue active". What does it mean when you are stuck in this queue? Does this mean that my backend email server (exchange 2003) isn't allowing messages from this new domain OR that the POSTFIX server still needs configuring.

View 1 Replies View RelatedOne of our postfix servers is for sending/receiving internal emails only. When a user entered a wrong recipient address, it will take almost an hour for the user to get the "Recipient address rejected" email. What can be done to let the user get the "Recipient address rejected" email quickier.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI'm building a replacement postfix email server and I'm getting intermittant loss of sent emails; where: sometimes mail ends up at the recipient (a hotmail address) and sometimes not. Having an offsite relay (or posting directly to the internet) doesnt help either. (Although using hotmail itself as a relay always works despite logged complaints about unchecked ssl certs) Most dissapointingly the log files for the smtp transations are the same for successfully received emails as for the "lost" emails.

I've recently followed a guide I found online [1] and installed Postfix and Courier on my server machine. I can send emails from the server to any email address but unfortunately I can only receive emails sent from the server - it's only accepting emails sent locally from the host.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI've been looking for a way to filter out emails on my postfix server by GeoIP data. I couldn't find anything that fitted the bill so wrote my own in Python as a postfix policy. Thought I'd post it here to see if it's of any use to anyone else. I've attached a tar of the files as the Python formatting will get mucked up by the forum code. Comments/improvements are welcome (be kind ) First file is : policyd-geoip which is owned by root:root and placed in /usr/bin with 755 perms

I got a weird postfix setup question? This is a separate server to the one I posted about earlier today.
I need to setup a postfix server which will accept emails for local know address (full addresses) and deliver them straight to the users maildir.
Any unknown addresses (however for the same domain), needs to be relayed to another server.
This is a bit of a special setup as there is no fixed Internet connection to the server. So the plan is that local email get delivered straight away whilst emails to the same @domain, but that doesn't exist in the user tables get put in the hold queue and is later relayed to server number 2 when a connection is available.
I am using mysql to retrieve all my settings into postfix.
How would one setup a header_check that would discard all emails that have more than 6 words in it? Such as, if there are more than 6 spaces in the entire message it would be deleted? I cannot find this out but it would reduce my spam intake by 50+ a day.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI 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:
mydomain.tld3600INMX0 mail.mydomain.tld
mail.mydomain.tld 3600INAmyNumericalIp
So now my system is receiving MX content but i dont know what to do.
I tried searching the posts and have come up empty handed. I need to find an email I sent to myself (actually a forward of several other emails) that did not get delivered. Otherwise I need the original emails themselves. I have been using pop with dovecot on my ubuntu server Jaunty machine. I searched the mail logs and found that the reason the message might not have been delivered could be because my permissions were not set to administrator for that user. I changed the permissions and still nothing came back.
I deleted the client mail account on the machine I used that had the messages but I was hoping they might still be somewhere on the server. Any ideas?
I've installed Postfix MTA in Xubuntu. Where are all the emails stored in my Postfix server?

I have installed ubuntu server 9.04 and want to send emails from my server for which I've configured postfix. But I dont know what to do next.
My questions are:
1. Do i need to install DNS server for using postfix? If not, what should I install to send emails from this server?
2. Do I need to forward any particular port in my router?
3. If I dont have a fully qualified domain, what are the configurations I need to do to send emails?
I am trying to find a way to tell postfix to forward all emails from
dbsupport@thisdomain.com
and
helpdesk@thisdomain.com
to
be sent to admins@thatdomain.com, but it is not working. I am trying transport maps. The content of my transport file is:
Quote:
helpdesk@thisdomain.com smtp:admins@thatdomain.com
Quote:
dbsupport@thisdomain.com smtp:admins@thatdomain.com
Both [URL] and [URL] are on box1 as an alias in the /etc/alias file like this:
root: helpdesk@thisdomain.com
root: dbsupport@thisdomain.com
how to get this working?
My MailScanner running on CentOs is blocking docx files, saying "The original e-mail attachment "****.docx" is on the list of unacceptable attachments for this site and has been replaced by this warning message.
I've tried adding it the list of allowed files:
/etc/MailScanner/filename.rules.conf:
allow .docx$ - -
but it still blocks them.
I've also tried manually coping the message file from the /var/spool/MailScanner quarantine/ directory into /var/spool/postfix/incoming
but this did not result in the mail being delivered.
I desperately need these mails released, and docx files to be allowed unconditionally. Anyone know why the above isn't working? Failing that, can all file blocking be turned off? I'd rather have virus relayed than legitimate mails blocked.

If not does anyone know how I can build postfix with support for MySQL 5.5. It doesn't help that I have never built a binary before - I found a couple of good tutorials on how to build from source that seem straight forward enough but I have no idea what needs to be specified for the postfix build.

Running Postfix 2.6.1 on Slackware 13.0.I noticed that if I send an email with a large attachment(namely more than 500 KB) from another computer using this postfix server as an smtp server, it takes up to an hour to send it.It's almost like postfix is configured to send large emails later with a lower priority.The client computer and postfix server are within a GIGABIT LAN so upload 500 KB isn't an issue.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a CentOS 5.3 system running a recently installed Postfix (I removed sendmail so I positively know it's running Postfix).
I am able to send out email as user root, but when I change to another user on the same server, the mail delivery fails.
Here's what's captured in the /var/log/maillog:
Here's my main.cf
No changes to other Postfix files since install, so they are the default files.
I have a web application installed on a Debian server that sends out a lot of e-mails. Is there a way to configure Postfix to retain the messages in a queue and send all of them at midnight for example
