using these fetchmail and postfix for fetching mail and sending mail ...... Instead of using incoming and outgoing like smtp and pop3 in outlook , why we use fetchmail and postfix mail server in linux and forward this to local windows client Outlook ..
I upgraded my home server from openSUSE 10.3 to 11.2. From that day, postfix rejects every email I try to receive by using fetchmail. The main.cf file was unchanged after the upgrade, postfix starts correctly, but it does not accepts emails! The errors I receive are:
Code: NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from localhost[::1]: 504 5.5.2 <localhost>: Helo command rejected: need fully-qualified hostname; from=<> to=<correctuser@somedomain.com> proto=SMTP helo=
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:
I have mail server (for example.com) locally configured in my office and one email address (e.g. mail@example.com) in my ISP will catch all email to a domain (e.g. example.com). How to fetch all email from my ISP (mail@example.com) and distribute to all email user of my office.
My client has finally had enough of being attacked via SPAM/Viruses and having his single email account for his company being destroyed. Since it is a single account and he does not want to add additional accounts or create a new one(mail is hosted by ISP), I wanted to ask the forum on their opinion on using Fetchmail to download the POP3 mail and having it piped through SMAM Assassion or DSpam and or CLAM_AV or F-PROT. In addition to that I am going to use a corporate strength anti-virus such as F-prot(Been using for years) and really put this email through a microscope. I also was thinking of just blocking out all domains other than his clients list of domains so in other words block all and allow just the domains that we know are valid and are only from his clients. It is super restrictive but what I believe will end his issue.
I need to ask you how canIi make some fetchmail jobs to download mails from my gmail account into my mail account in my own server? My server is : Linux Centos 5.4 Postfix Mail Server
I make a file named .fetchmailrc in my home directory and set its permissions to 755and the content of this file is:
set postmaster "postmaster" set bouncemail set no spambounce set properties "" poll imap.googlemail.com:993 protocol imap username "username@gmail.com" password "password"
I think something is not completed, I need to make that fetch to a specific user only, not all users.
set no bouncemail set postmaster postmaster@dot.com.gh set logfile /var/log/fetchmail poll pop.teledataict.com protocol pop3 localdomains dot.com.gh archive dot.com.gh no dns
envelope X-Envelope-To: qvirtual dot.com.gh user "maildot3@teledataict.com" there pass "mail" is * here forcecr nokeep flush dropdelivered fetchall
This works perfectly as I want. But right now, what I want is, I want fetchmail to download mails for more than one or several accounts in different domains and different pop servers. How can I improve this rc file to accomplish my task?
The common wisdom seems to be to setup an SMTP server (say postfix) so that connections either coming from the same host or where the end delivery is local can do so without using any authentication mechanism.
This will for example allow fetchmail to deliver fetched mail locally on port 25 (without logging in) for any user.
However, what if I setup the SMTP server to force every incoming connection to be authenticated regardless if the end delivery is local or relayed and regardless where the connection comes from.
Is it possible to configure fetchmail to use a password when doing the local delivery?
(I haven't been able to find any such configuration options in fetchmail.)
I have Ubuntu and I want to setup a mailserver. I use fetchmail to fetch mail But I wanted to configure fetchmail with fetchmailconf. I know, I can edit the configfile, but I wanted to use fetchmailconf. According to the man of fetchmail, fetchmailconf is very handy.
In synaptic, I installed fetchmail 6.3.2.2Ubuntu2.3 and I wanted to install fetchmailconf 6.3.2.2Ubuntu2 : well it didnt work fetchmailconf 6.3.2.2Ubuntu2 needs fetchmail 6.3.2.2Ubuntu2. So, no worries: I searched the internet for fetchmailconf 6.3.2.2Ubuntu2.3, but I couldn't find any. Same with fetchmail6.3.2.2Ubuntu2
First of all, I want to flame synaptic for supplying 2 different versions for 2 pieces of software that only work with eachother. Second: where can I find 2 matching versions? Or fix synaptic or maybe someone has a really cool solution?
I have one centOS 5.5 box recieving mails done by fetchmail service and it has a 5 client pc's, is there any way that the CentOS box able to deliver the mails to the 5 local network users that is using thunderbird as MUA.
the mails is stuck in /var/spool/mail as I verified in the webmin sendmail settings
I don't care so much the practicality and needlessness of actually setting up a computer for proxy server for personal usage, but none-the-less, i want to do it, and i'm just wondering about hardware.The proxy, i don't intend on having a desktop environment, so it'll be a terminal interface.But for a system that will handle traffic for 3 pc's and a ps3, how much hardware would one suggest i need, as far as RAM, HDD space, so on and so forth.
I was thinking it would be fun to do with with my old amd k6-2 processor and it's 32mb of ram, but in order for that pc to work, i'll need to replace a few hardware pieces, and before i dumb money into it and pull it out of the closet, i want to find out if it would even be worth my time to do it.
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 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:

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 ...
