I want a mail server that can relay mails to the internet using GMail and fetch the mails of different accounts into the mail server and distribute them to their respective users. I am using Postfix, Fetchmail and Dovecot. I have a PC with 3 users.I use the PC having Ubuntu 9.04 and share the internet. We all send mail and retrieve mail. We do use Evolution and Mutt sometimes. We want to send our mails with our email_ids without even logging in.
Hostname
mail.myhomepc.com
Domain
myhomepc.com
[code]....
I have created my custom certificate using SSL. I've created the Postfix's main.cf file following a tutorial on the net. Currently mails are going fine, but with our local email_ids. I want Postfix to rewrite our local email_ids with the equivalent email_id on the net.
I need to have a postfix server to rewrite the sender's address. For example, if the sender is: [URL], then the recipient would receive all emails from [URL] as [URL]. I tried using the generic file and created a table out of it, but this did not work:
postmap /etc/postfix/generic -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 9977 Dec 27 15:24 generic -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 12288 Dec 27 15:25 generic.db
I added this line to the generic text file:
[code]....
I am running two boxes with postfix 2.3.3. and 2.1.1 respectively. Both need this configuration. I also added this line:
smtp_generic_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/generic
on the main.cf file. However, this did not work. The one running postfix 2.3.3 is on Centos 5.5, the other one is on SuSe Enterprise 9.
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.
This seems like a relatively simple question, but I haven't been able to figure it out from the documentation after a couple of hours of searching. I'm running postfix on my mail server, and the vast majority of my spam has the sender address spoofed to match the recipient address. I've got spamassassin up and running, and very little gets through that, so it's not a serious problem, but if possible I would like to be able to reject the mail before it arrives to reduce the system load.
Mail is sent locally via webmail, relaying is denied, so the only way that mail should be sent from the domain is via a connection from localhost. The basic idea I'm thinking of is if the MAIL FROM sender claims to be an address at the receiving domain, but is connected from a remote IP, the mail should be rejected.
I'm using postfix to send some mail from my cloud server via a web page on my website that uses PHPmailer to do SMTP authentication. My cloud server has a dedicated IP for all inbound and outbound data. The problem I am having is that it sends roughly 75 - 100 messages successfully before it returns the following error for the remaining few hundred recipients in my list:
SMTP Error: The following recipients failed: example@example.com Mailer Error [URL] SMTP Error: The following recipients failed: example@example.com SMTP server error: 5.5.0 Sender already specified
I am trying unsuccessfully to have a more permanent fix so I can receive emails from an invalid domain. The message is 'Sender address rejected: Domain not found' in the postfix mail logs. Fair enough, there may be an A record or MX record problem there, but there is nothing I can do about this with the Sender at present. Mail *will* come through from the invalid domain if I delete
Code:
reject_unknown_sender_domain
from the list at: smtpd_recipient_restrictions in /etc/postfix/main.cf (see coded area below for full list). I have added the Domain in question as an 'OK', both by name and by IP address, to: /etc/postfix/recipient_access, then used postmap to successfully create the database which appears as: recipient_access.db
ie recipient_access (not recipient_access.db) has contents: invalid-domain-name.com OK ; the space betw is a tab space 123.456.789.012OK ; the space betw is a tab space I suspect the failure is something to do with postmap and the recipient_access.db database file created by postmap, but just cannot work this out. Running: postconf -d indicates that the hash format is the default database format
As indicated below,
Code:
check_recipient_access hash:/etc/postfix/recipient_access is listed up front in smtpd_recipient_restrictions Postfix was restarted on all occassions Everything above was done as root and permissions on the .db files are the same as other files in /etc/postfix
block incoming email within either postfix or spamassassin when the sender equals the recipient. The manner in which our mail infrastructure is set up would preclude this from happening. Granted, we do have outside vendors that spoof our domain so we have to allow emails in with our domain as the sender/from. The vendors do not, however, utilize the same sender/recipient when sending emails.
I have an email server configured with postfix, dovecot, saslauthd and squirrelmail. It works great. In fact I'd even say it works too well: in squirrelmail, I can configure any sender address and my server will accept it. Message will be sent, wether the sender's address is [URL] or [URL]. Is there any way of limiting it in such way that only [URL] is accepted as sender's address?
I have setup up an Opensuse as a simple we/application server.It handles requests for various things and will need to send out email on occasion for things like password reset requests, information / warnings etc. etc.This is a standard OPenSuse 11.x install with defaults so it comes with Postfix as the mta.I do not want a mail server I just want to send out via my clients mail server which is hosted exchange rackspace, which simply requires SMTP auth to do so.What would be the proper way to do this so ALL e-mail send from this machine, regardless of account like WWWRun or when logged in and sending from the command line has the same sender all the time.
I'm looking for a way to redirect e-mail with postfix based on sender AND recipient. What I want: Let's say I have 3 users:
[code]....
and an external address, let`s call it [URL] sends e-mails every day to andy, mark and john Now, MARK and JOHN, need the e-mail sent by [URL], but TOM doesn't need it. Is there a way to redirect ONLY the e-mail sent to TOM from [URL], to some other address, let`s say [URL] without affecting the e-mail received by MARK and JOHN? Unfortunately using SENDER ACCESS redirects ALL e-mail from [URL]
I'm testing my mail server, and sending email works fine. However, when I tried to send emails to my server from gmail, I get this log:
Code: Aug 8 14:18:17 anbient postfix/smtpd[14228]: warning: database /etc/postfix/virtual.db is older than source file /etc/postfix/virtual Aug 8 14:18:17 anbient postfix/smtpd[14228]: connect from mail-qy0-f169.google.com[209.85.216.169] Aug 8 14:18:17 anbient postfix/smtpd[14228]: F3D4B1DD02C0: client=mail-qy0-f169.google.com[209.85.216.169] Aug 8 14:18:18 anbient postfix/cleanup[9988]: F3D4B1DD02C0: message-id=<4C5EBC96.2030800@gmail.com> Aug 8 14:18:18 anbient postfix/qmgr[9993]: F3D4B1DD02C0: from=<felipefidelix@gmail.com>, size=1982, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Aug 8 14:18:18 anbient postfix/smtp[9995]: connect to net[174.132.240.146]:25: Connection refused Aug 8 14:18:18 anbient postfix/smtp[9995]: F3D4B1DD02C0: to=<fidelix@net>, orig_to=<eu@felipefidelix.com>, relay=none, delay=0.15, delays=0.09/0/0.05/0, dsn=4.4.1, status=deferred (connect to net[174.132.240.146]:25: Connection refused)
And this is strange. 174.132.240.146 seems to be the web address 'net.net'. I am sure this has to be some setting in postfix, cuz its trying to deliver the email to 'fidelix@net', and that cant be right.

I got a peculiar request at work, and maybe you folks can help me out.I want to rewrite URL 'foo.com' as 'bar.com' (in the browser address bar) still display the content of 'foo.com'
I've got a home network that uses avahi's magic '.local' name service.
One computer is a server running Debian Testing/Apache2/Wordpress 3.0.x.
All the computers in the house have avahi-compatible service, so reaching the server is easy for computers.
I'd like to use my phone via the wireless lan to use the wordpress installation. The gotcha is, I can enter the ip address and get to the login page. The next page, the ip address is re-written to the avahi host name.
As an example,
1. I enter 192.168.11.110:100 and I land on the default page.
2. Click on a page of content.
3. URL is rewritten from the numeric address to the avahi, text address.
4. This is a 404 error on the phone. The laptops handle it just fine.
I've used mod_rewrite to rewrite my apache2 root (my.server.com/) to point to /var/www/drupal6/ instead of /var/www/. I also have a script installed in my cgi-bin (/usr/lib/cgi-bin) but since the rewrite I can't seem to access it. When I go to my.server.come/cgi-bin/test.pl, I get a page not found from my drupal.
Is there a way I can access my cgi-bin without resorting to accessing my drupal through my.server.com/drupal6/?
Background: I have installed drupal CMS which has a base address of my.server.com/drupal6/ as it resided in /var/www/drupal6/. However I wanted users to be able to access it as my.server.com/ so I added the following into my httpd.conf
Code: NameVirtualHost *:80 <Directory /var/www/drupal6> RewriteEngine on RewriteBase /
I am using Postfix on CentOS to send mail through a relayhost. The mail sends fine, but on certain clients such as the mail client on the iPhone or Windows Live Mail, the message is received with '(No Sender)' in the sender field. The Apple Mail client on the iMac works just fine.
Here is the PHP code I am using to send the mail code...
Wondering if there is a configuration setting in /etc/postfix/main.cf I can use to fix this problem. I have scoured the help files but have come up empty.
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:
After installing sendmail, I sent a mail for testing the mail I receive is from sender www-data and default email is www-data@dryaf-desktop. How do I change this email to something else ?
I vae Ubuntu, postfix. I need to forward e-mail based on sender. Can I do it with .forward ?
E-mail that comes from user@yahoo.com destined to user@mydomain.com to be forwarded to user@gmail.com. Other e-mail that comes from any addresse must not be forwarded.
i have installed redhat 5.3 and install sendmail on it.it is working perfectly fine.my question is|:
(1) can i restrict the sender and receivers email in sendmail?eg. i want to do that i want to allow only particular email addresses to send and receive and all other will be discarded (2) i made aliases for all user but it only receives received mail copy i want both sent and receive mail copy in aliases.
Under folder /home/user there are two files : .autoreply (where is the message text) and .procmailrc where is the procmail for autoreply. So .procmailrc looks like this :
[code]...
And it works, returning to the sender the text from .autoreply file. BUT it send this text from the mail account which looks like this: name-from-/etc/passwd-file@server-hostname instead (in my case) [URL]... Under webmail (squirrelmail) the reply address is set as it should be. I looked up a bunch of Internet pages, to no avail. Also masquerade is not a option because my production system has two mail domains.
I got one last stop until I've fully configured my Sendmail server. I want the server to verify which address the sender is using when sending mail. Even though authenticated via SMTP AUTH or mailing from an IP listed as RELAY in access.db, the user should not be able to use whichever address he likes.
Ideally, I would like Sendmail to use a file that looks something like this: Username sername@Server.org
where, if logged in with Username, the only accepted sender address is Username@Server.org. As of now, Sendmail just verifies that the sender domain exists and then relays which I don't like. This also applies to a lot of other servers as well... for example in the cases where ISPs have blocked outgoing port 25 and let all their users use their SMTP server. I assume, if they don't use SMTP AUTH which is not the case where I am, that they have their entire IP range listed as RELAY and therefore, using my ISPs SMTP when in their net, I can send mail as whomever I like as long as the sender domain exists.
I've had a look at filters but haven't found any suitable and I assume that this might be realised through a Ruleset or something. What do you think? Have I missed something making this a really stupid suggestion or am I on to something? It would make my day
554 Your access to this mail system has been rejected due to the sending MTA's poor reputation. If you believe that this failure is in error, please contact the intended recipient via alternate means.
I have a server which runs postfix. The same physical server is running web and mail services for several (3) domains, which I have reserved for future use (nothing serious or valuable, just freetime activities). Server "physical" address (also static IP) is myhost.domain.com. Lets say the other domains it serves are first.fi, second.net ad third.com. I can receive mails OK sent to all of these, I have added those 3 "extra" domains to the mydestination line in main.cf. Sending e-mails also works fine, but the sender is [URL].. I want the sender to be firstname@first.fi
I tried setting sender_canonical_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/sender_canonical in main.cf, and sender_canonical contains:
and I run postmap /etc/postfix/sender_canonical, and e-started postfix. But if I send e-mail as user1, the sender becomes [URl].. so it re-writed the username part, but hot the hostname/domain part. I also tried setting smtp_generic_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/generic but the results were similar. What do I need to do to re-write sender for user1 (regardless of host/domain) to Firstname1@first.fi?
We have MS Exchange email server with postfix/amavis on FreeBSD as proxy for anti-spam and anti-virus. We use our own developed CRM and trying to implement such functionality that when CRM manager send email to CRM client or vice versa through email client like Outlook (no plugins for CRM) this message would be shown in CRM. There is already a solution to parse emails from specific emailbox and show it in CRM.
What I need is to create postfix email filter to check if sender email is in file CRM_managers_emails and recipient email is in file CRM_clients_emails then forward that email to [URL] Filter should check both incoming and outgoing messages. I will auto generate CRM_managers_emails and CRM_clients_email files containing all such emails taken from CRM database. I know i should use something like Postfix After-Queue Content Filter but most of examples are for blocking emails.
