Server :: Postfix Mailserver Randomize Transports Using Regexp (using N)?
Jun 5, 2010
Im using posfix as a outgoing mail server, here i want to distribute the mails to different ips to avoid the ip blacklisting. I found a solution by using multiple transports , but here one thing blocking me was i could not able to select a transport using regexp or pcre matching pattern, log says that
Code:
Jun 5 07:12:49 server postfix/trivial-rewrite[6079]: warning: pcre map /etc/postfix/transport.pcre, line 1: regular expression substitution is not allowed: skipping this rule
can i just copy/backup postfix mail queues in /var/spool/postfix and paste that folder back in after i done migrating all users and mails to a new mailserver?
I recently created a webserver to host my website, using a Ubuntu 8.10 based system. (With some help from my experienced brother of course).I now want to create a mailserver to go along with my website. In setting up postfix to work with gmail smtp servers, I ran into a lot of permission errors.
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.
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 ?
Iam handling mail server in redhat.MTA using is qmail.since last 1 month it get overload and get hang...since in morning its time for user to loging into mail through web interface.though suddenly login in to mail it get overload and server got hang.we need to restart the server...did not get time to kill https also some time MP port work to save us...still didnot get command to overcome the over load in server...
I have followed the guide for "The Perfect Server - Debian Lenny (Debian 5.0) With BIND & Dovecot [ISPConfig 3]" and all is well, except.
I can send mail (to GMail) from commandline. I can send mail (to GMail) from any of the domains configured in ISPConfig3 through SquirrelMail (how ever terrible that looks, but functions) or IMAP/POP.
but....
I can't receive mail (from GMail) on any of the domains configured in ISPConfig3 in SquirrelMail or IMAP/POP.
I have my domains configured with proper MX records (just like I have them configured at work). I have all ports (80, 143, 110, 25, 22, etc) forwarded on my router that are needed.
I can Telnet to localhost and all checks are fine. I can send and receive from and to local domains on the same server, which makes sense. but
I can't Telnet from any external server to my server behind NAT.
Conclusion:
I figured it MUST be a network/port-forwarding problem as the external Telnet requests fails to my machine on port 25.
Tested my router if it would let met communicate through port 25 and it would.
So it must be my ISP, as I read in different posts.
Question:
Maybe I'm a n00b, but in all other posts the problems were with receiving AND sending.
My ISP responded that port 25 is blocked because of spam issues.
But I can mail (and even spam if I would like to) to external domains while I didn't do anything weird to make that happen.
The only thing I wish for is to receive mails and if you'd ask me, port 25 would be solely for outgoing mails, not for incoming mail deliveries throught MX?
An ISP surely wouldn't disable their customers in having a mail-server for incoming mails, as long as they would send out through their own smtp server to make sure they wouldn't spam the world?
is there any HOWTO for configuring Webmin Postfix server with multiple postfix virtual hosts? Seems to be a tough challenge to set it up without any easy manual..
so i set out to change the default smtp port the server uses because my ISP blocks port 25 and i need the email to work in outlook. this morning i could receive email, but not send it. so i did some research and thought that i needed to edit the master.cf file in /etc/postfix/ by commenting out this line: smtp inet n - n - - smtpd -oand replace it with587 inet n - n - - smtpd (587 being the port i want to use)somewhere along the lines postfix server stopped running and now i cannot get it to start.if i try using SSH it crashes immediately and if i restart it in simple control panel nothing happens
I recently moved over user from an old box running postfix(v 2.0.16) over to rhel 6 running postfix (v mail_version = 2.6.6). ive tried to make sure all the files are of correct permissions and that the main.cf file is configured corectly. However there is something wrong as when i run postfix: service postfix server i get no error but when checking the status:service postfix status i get: master dead but pid file exists Looking into /var/log/mailog i find this line being the issue:
only does lines in text files, but I'd like something similar to sort .mp3 files in a directory, prior to burning them onto a DVD. How do I do that? Kurt

it works great, however, as it is now, it only seems to work if it was in the very folder (or in nautilus-scripts and I right clicked it from the very folder) it was looking for the music, such as in ~/Music, and then what it did was read all of the subfolders on the first tier in there, and then all the subfolders in those for music.
I figured out that by adding, cd ~/Music, it enables it to be right clicked anywhere and opens music only from the ~/Music folder it can be used. However, one thing that's odd is if the subfolder in ~/Music folder has a 'space' in it's title, (ie, ~/Music/Green Day), it would fail. This is not the case for subfolders of the first tier subfolders in ~/Music though, (ie, ~/Music/Jazz/Simply Red). Is there a way to randomize the order of the songs within the folders too?
make install then i got this error: postfix: fatal: chdir(/usr/libexec/postfix): No such file or directory make: *** [install] Error 1 I don't understand why it's checking the usr/libexec folder for the daemons although I've set the folder to /opt/product/postfix-2.6.5/libexec in the makefile. Here is also the cat of my makedefs.out:
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.
I have a batch rename task and I find the 'rename' command in Ubuntu and Fedora is different.In Ubuntu, rename is written in Perl and has regexp support. Is there anyway to install it on Fedora?
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.
I am using postfix as spam Mailscanner to protect my mail server running sendmail. The problem is that when I forward an email from MailScanner mail me back with the following error:
<postmaster@localhost.@mydomain.com.>... Real domain name required for sender address (in reply to MAIL FROM command)) Jul 27 13:15:59 smtp postfix/local[28465]: C68AC1000001: to=<root@smtp.mydomain.com>,
my postfix to send and recive external emails, but many recive in trash folder.Other programer say me that is need some configurations in postfix with and dovecot to work, but i dont know what!This is my first time configuring a linux server at this week.
my main.conf sample_directory = /usr/share/doc/postfix-2.3.3/samples readme_directory = /usr/share/doc/postfix-2.3.3/README_FILES
i need to configure postfix on centos to relay email from the internet to the Exchange Server and i also need that emails sent from the exchange within the same domain be sent to postfix then resent to exchange because i have spamassassin and clamav installed on centos to filter all incoming and outgoing mails ...
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.
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?
