Server :: Cant Receive Mails In Inbox When Configured With Sendmail
Oct 22, 2010
I 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.
We're running a sendmail server on a fedora core 9 which we've configured recently. The problem is, the server is working fine but there are some e-mails that enter our server but doesn't get forwarded to the user.

Here it says "stat=Sent" but nothing from the above mail address has been received on the client's inbox. We've experienced this with Microsoft Outlook, Outlook Express and Thunderbird alike so far with Two(2) of our user accounts.
am using qmail and have webmin, all is running smoothly, but i have users spamming other staff accounts.The question: How do I block a user from sending out mails but still able to receive mails. Just denying access to sending mails?if anyone can guide me to do it via terminal as well as webmin.Why webmin you ask, because I have tried it once it works but sadly it block both incoming and outgoing mails.
I setup a qmail on a Debian 5 Lenny server with courier-imap server. I can send mails but cannot receive mails. I altered /etc/init.d/qmail as follows.
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.

I've set up a fully functional e-mail server and can send and receive e-mails to and from an array of virtual domains without a problem. The only hiccup I have is that only root is able to send e-mails via mutt. I have not stipulated a sendmail line in the mutt configuration so it's sending e-mail with default configuration. How can I get it so that all users on the server can send outgoing e-mails via mutt?
Update: Solved this by following this http://inmyplace.info/2008/05/07/pos...ission-denied/
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).
I am having many mails transferred through my Sendmail server, so I want to configure it not to allow more than 60 mails to be sent by my sendmail server per minute. How to optimize my mail server's configuration.
how can i search mails in queue of sendmail /var/spool/mqueue by IP. This facility is available in qmail e.g. qmqtool -f '10.10.10.10' this search all mail messages by IP and we can delete all the message easily.

I am failing to receive e-mails on client machines. My server has linux Red Hat 7.3. Can you help me with linux command to view sendmail configuration.
I run Suse 11.1. I have 3 crontab jobs running that I have written. I have them set to e-mail me the results. The jobs run, but no e-mails. I had the same jobs running under 10.2, and they stopped e-mailing me after doing them for about a year and a half. I wasn't too worried because I was going to upgrade to 11.1. I use MAILTO=(my e-mail address) in the cron jobs. I have used mailq to see that the e-mails are sitting there with "connection timed out". Why do these no longer work?
Evolution Mail 2.22.3.1 - Debian Lenny 5.0.4I configured Evolution in my gmail account. I can send successfully emails to users but I cannot receive any emails
I have added a ubuntu 9.10 desktop machine to a windows domain, I can log on to the ubuntu machine using domain user accounts and passwordds, now I want to configure the linux machine to connect to the MS exchange server 2003 in the domain to send receive emails. How can I do this? I tried installing thunderbird but it doesnt give an option for SMTP or ms exchange server in the mail settings.
We are facing an issue with virtual users. We have configured postfix in Fedora 12. We are able to receive as well as send mails for the main domain users (i.e. example.com) but not able to receive virtual users mail (i.e. configured example2.com in main.cf and configured in virtual file as systems@example2.com useronly). We are receiving error message in outlook as 0x800CCC0F. Please guide us how to solve this issue.
I am brand new to sendmail. I have a web application running on APACHE2. I'm told that it uses a PHP mail function to send emails for notifications. I configured my php.ini to use sendmail by adding the following line: sendmail_path= /usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i (I've tried it without the i as well) As far as the sendmail configuration is concerned, I used the GUI interface provided in the KDE environment (labeled Mail Transfer Agent). I inputted my outgoing mail server's IP address and login information. I also unchecked TLS since my mail server does not use that.
The problem is that no email ever gets sent. The web application states that the email was successfully sent. But I think its because it hands the email to PHP (leaving the responsibility to PHP)...then it believes the email is sent. My mail server uses plain text for authentication. Im not doing anything special with it. I told my mail server to accept connections from my linux box. I also checked my mail server's logs and see that no record of any connection from my linux server is logged.
So it seems my linux server isnt even communicating with my mail server. Both boxes are on the same network. My linux box can ping my mail server just fine. Firewall is disabled. How do I correctly configure sendmail to use an outgoing SMTP server to send emails. And how do I verify that setting works without using the web application I installed? (I want to verify whether or not the issue is with sendmail or the web application). Where do I find sendmail's logs so I can check to see why it's not hitting my mail server?
I have configured sendmail server on my Rhel5 machine.i just wanted to know whether i can connect my machine with internet and send my mails through sendmail.
Regarding few things I am facing problem : 1. How to send one copy of that outgoing mail generated from the source. It should cc to another mail id in server's backend while mail sending. 2. I don't have any domain - internally or externally. Only have static ip, accessible from outside. Can I configure sendmail to send-receive through that ip. 3. How to transfer all mails and addressbook from exchange server to linux sendmail server.
I am using webmin for my daily tasks. I have fedora 13, whenever I click on ''Sendmail M4 Configuration'' or Outgoing Addresses (generics)'' I get the following error message
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 was asking how to build a CentOS Exim mail server, & gaurantee that all mail messages will be delivered to hotmail inbox ??hotmail said that it will only accept 500 simultanuos connections (=500 messages) to its mail servers from only one IP address, so is there an exim options that i can use to limit messages that sent through the mail server to hotmail to be sent as 500 messages then send another 500 & so on
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 Dovecot up and running however Thunderbird nor Evolution can see mail in the users inbox. Getting no errors from them either thunderbird nor Evolution.On the server (Cento 5.3) the email is in /var/spool/mail/ username. Sending a receiving email on the server itself whats fine using the mail commands. Is their a setting in Dovecot I'm over looking?
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?
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.
