I need to set a delay between sending two mails (say 1 second). I have a shared server so delay for specific domain will be more usefull(aaa.com - 2 sec, bb.com 1 sec etc).

View 4 Replies View RelatedI installed sendmail in my fedora 7 system. i took the advice as provided in this url [url] I started with "Configuring s`endmail"
Then i went with installing MailScanner without going to clamav and spamassasin installation as i don need it.
I just configured my local domain and assigned a my own IP address. But there was nothing mentioned with configuring the port number. So i just went with "netstat -nl" command. And it showed that my IP is lisening on port 53.
I created 2 users for the domain and i sent mail via telnet. The mail entry got entered in maillog file. But i receive multiple unwanted entries that mail is sent from "root" to "root". But i didn't bother about that.
I proceeded with the next step of configuring the two users on thunderbird. I configured with pop3 on port 53 with the localdomain. Now i sent mail from one user to the other. The mail entry got stored in maillog but i couldn't retrieve the mail on my inbox.
But the mail gets stored in /var/mail/<user>
What configurations will be required in DNS and sendmail server to send mails from one domain abc.com to other domain xyz.com.

Quote:
The Sendmail M4 configuration base directory /usr/share/sendmail-cf was not found on your system, or is not the correct directory. Maybe it has not been installed (common for packaged installs of Sendmail), or the module config is incorrect. I read documentation at sendmail.org, it seems that structure of directories for send mail has been changed in version sendmail-8.1.4 shipped with FC13. In webmin config module we have
Quote:
Sendmail M4 base directory = /usr/share/sendmail-cf
which is not there. I did a locate / sendmail-cf on the command line, it finds nothing
I recently modified sendmail.cf to use a third party SMTP server to send emails. It works great. But when I run sendmail from the command line, I have to specify the -C flag and force feed it the location of my sendmail.cf, or else it doesn't work.
So in other words, the following works great:
However, if I don't specify the -C flag, sendmail doesn't consider what's in the sendmail.cf and barfs:
I don't run sendmail as a daemon. I'm only using it to send emails. I know my modifications of sendmail.cf are correct because it works perfectly when I use the -C flag. I searched my disk to see if I could find another sendmail.cf on the machine and only the one in /etc/mail came up.
Why sendmail is not reading my sendmail.cf?
I'm running Sendmail version 8.14.2 on Fedora Core 8.
I have got a running mail server on CentOS5.4 Final using Zimbra free edition. . Assume that domain is organization.com.local And it is running fine with users created and bugzilla running on the same machine can send mails using this server. But it can obviously send messages to the internal users. There is this option to configure it to use external mail server to send mails outside the network but my external smtp server needs an authentication.Is it possible to configure it this way to use my external server to send mails from internal domain to say gmail?

View 3 Replies View RelatedJust started to encounter this problem recently: after entering a valid password for a given user during an SSH login, it takes at least one minute to get to a prompt. It usually takes only a second to check the password and drop me to a prompt.
I haven't had this problem before - it seems to have started this week. Only thing I've done this week is run updates. Has anyone encountered this problem recently? Any ideas or fixes that may help solve this? Server info: not exposed to the Internet, only running SSH, fully patched version of CentOS 5.5 x86_64.
As a beginner I installed Fedora 11 yesterday. Everything went well until I installed Evolution and Thunderbird. Incoming mails went well, but outgoing mails not.
View 6 Replies View RelatedThis has been raised as redhat bugzilla bug 583054 - seeI am posting here in case anyone else has dealt with a similar problem. In brief, I have a print server running Fedora 12/CUPS dual boot WinXP. The attached printer is a Canon BJC-4100. When the server is booted in F12, it takes over a minute for a networked Fedora 12 box to bring up a print dialog, or for the printer to start after a page has been submitted. When the print server is booted in WinXP, printing is immediate.
Tim Waugh identified the problem in the CUPS Troubleshooter output:
'D [10/Apr/2010:09:00:20 +1000] cupsdNetIFUpdate: "lo" = localhost:631',

View 1 Replies View RelatedI work as a part-time consultant developing webpages, both back end and front end.When developing a back end application I'm using a server running ubuntu server edition to host the application while I'm developing it.The problem comes when I want to upload my changes to the server, now I'm using Dropbox both on the client and the server, the problem is that sometimes I have to wait over a minute for the changes to be downloaded (when I'm working out-of-home that is) so I'm looking for a better alternative. My options seems to be:Some open source version of dropbox which syncs directly to my server (haven't found anyting that sounds viable though)
Mount my server via some protocol (NFS, SSHFS etc)
Push changes manually via FTP, git, svn or something else
I'd like the sync to be as transparent as possible, meaning I'd like to do as little manual work as possible.The client I'd like to connect runs either OSX or Ubuntu.The ultimate solution would be to use NFS + VPN though that would be alot of work to set up and also I don't like the security in NFS (matching UID's doesn't seem very secure to me)
I have x11vnc server set up on my desktop PC. I can boot the computer and connect at the login screen if I want to. I can login to my computer as usual. But after about 1 minute of logging in, the computer logs off as if pressing Ctrl+Alt+Backspace and returns me to the login screen. This cycle repeats when I login and I have to kill the x11vnc process or remove the command from /etc/gdm/Init/Default.Have tried so many things now but the end result is the same. I have Ubuntu 10.10 fully updated and x11vnc 9.10-1 from the default repos. I am using the following command in the /etc/gdm/Init/Default file:
Code:
/usr/bin/x11vnc -rfbauth ~/.vnc/passwd -rfbport 5901 -display :0 -forever -bg
I don't think it matters now whether I add KillInitClients=false into /etc/gdm/gdm.conf-custom or /etc/gdm/gdm.conf because of the x11vnc version I have. The manual says its not really needed. But I have tried this too with no better luck.The computer will still log me out after about a minute of logging in. It can be between 1 min to 1.5 mins.Running out of ideas and have tried the -noxfixes and -reopen commands.
Why does x11vnc crash out (or it may be gdm or x server?) after about a minute of logging in? If I am currently viewing my desktop through VNC viewer on another computer, it will still crash out after 1 min of log in, and lose the connection. I can reconnect through VNC again but I have to log back in to the remote computer and it will just log out after another minute.At last, in 2 days I have finally solved it. As simple as creating my own version. The x11vnc 9.10-1 version my default Ubuntu 10.10 repos is buggy. Here's my fix (I used this site):
1. Downloaded latest x11vnc dev build from above site (x11vnc-0.9.13-dev.tar.gz at time of posting)
2. Extract it
3. Open Terminal > sudo -s > enter admin password
4. cd LocationOfExtracted folder

I'm running my website on a linux server. I'm using a mac. Apparently, mac mail has a bug where it creates too many imap processes.
Since I'm on a shared server with a 25 process limit, with 3 email accts x 4+ processes each = a lot of problems!
I'm trying to write a cron job to delete imap processes every minute.
I've tried two things
1) following this blog's advice [URL]
Code:
killall imap
i realised it was imapd not imap, but i tried another method anyway
2) create a kill-imap.sh file in my server folder.
Code:
#!/bin/bash
/usr/bin/killall imapd
then executing the file from the cron command /kill-imap.sh
both these cases, it didn't seem to work!
I would get a daemon emai reply with
imapd: no process killed
just to give more info, the existing imap processes look like this
/usr/lib/courier-imap/bin/imapd /home/sitename/mail/sitename.com/emailusername
honestly, I'm not too experienced in this, and i've searched the net without luck. can anyone advise what i'm supposed to do to kill these imap processes every 5 min via cron job?
I would like to set disclaimer like content in my meral mail server, so that all the users should be able to get that content automatically in their outgoing mails.

I have two situations here :
1) I have my Nagios running on the linux box and BMC Remedy Server on the Solaris box. I have simulated a mail from Nagios to be delivered to the Remedy server. But the Remedy Server does not receive it. I even tried snooping on port 25 but nothing has reached the box.

Previously I had posted a question on how to make it run every 7 minutes between 7 and and 11pm.However now I found out what I really need is every 7 minuted between 7:30 and 11pm BUT it has to be every 7 minutes, it cannot reset itself on the top of every hour, so the */7 wont work.How can it that it will be every 7 minutes, so it will go at 7:30, 37,44,51, 58, 8:05, etc..
