Server :: Create New /etc/aliases For Postfix?

Jun 2, 2011

I have /var on it's own partition. Should i direct mail, in /etc/alises, sent to root to my normal local user or will /var end up getting filled up with mail, if i do that?Also:I went on the forums for dynDNS.com, explaining that i was setting up a network that includes a web server and a mail server. They rightly pointed out that i only needed to set up a DNS A record for webserver.dyndns.org. The mail server would be located by this DNS A record, as both machines share the same external I.P address(the external I.P of my ADSL router). So my mail addresses could be me@webserver.dyndns.org. So both machines would be reachable with the same DNS A record, and port-forwarding on my ADSL router would determine which host got which requests. That's what they said i should do for my scenario.
Bearing this in mind what should the values of $myhostname, $mydomain, $mydestination and $myorigin be?

My current thoughts, on the simplest way to do this, are:If $myhostname is mailserver.webserver.dyndns.org, then $myorigin can be webserver.dyndns.org, then $mydomain is webserver.dyndns.org and $mydestination has it's DEFAULT setting(mydestination = $myhostname localhost.$mydomain localhost).This the simplest workable approach right?, if not what are the best values for these parameters?.Also I have /var on it's own partition. Should i direct mail, in /etc/alises, sent to root to my normal local user or will /var end up getting filled up with mail, if i do that?

Server :: Virtual Postfix - Mysql And Virtual Aliases ?

Oct 14, 2010

I've got a working Virtual Postfix server running with mysql doing user authentication. I have a support email address set as support@hostname.com, which has 5 aliases associated; user1, user2, user3, user4, and user5. When an email is sent to support@hostname.com, all 5 users receive the email, just as planned. What I'm looking to do is when an email is sent to support@hostname.com to have it rotate through the members of the alias group. That way all members of the group get support emails evenly and not everybody all at once. Is this possible?

Ubuntu :: Create Some Aliases For Bash Shell?

Jun 14, 2010

I would like to create some aliases for bash shell. On other Unix/Linux machines I have done this using the alias command like this: alias rm rm -i

When I type that into a terminal on Ubuntu, it looks like alias is not installed. I get this:

bash: alias: rm: not found
bash: alias: rm: not found
bash: alias: -i: not found

I tried adding the alias to .bashrc instead, but then I get the same error message every time I start terminal. Just for fun I tried apt-get install alias, just to see what would happen, and it installed something called libperl-alias instead, and alias still doesn't work.

Ubuntu Servers :: Create A Detailed Guide For A Postfix Server Running On At&t Internet?

Apr 18, 2011

I currently have a personal use server setup in my home and would like to be able to send emails from my domain name.

At&t blocks the standard ports used so some form of forwarding would have to be used. I've looked at other guides and followed them to the key but it appears I'm always missing something.

So my question here is could anyone write a detailed guide from start to finish on how to install a postfix server behind an at&t connection complete with MX record and firewall configuration information?

I'm setting up a full server configuration on Fedora, moving it from Mandriva which sadly faces a rather uncertain future. Things are going well and I will be ready (and more familiar with Fedora) in time to upgrade to Fedora 15.

What I have done so far in regard to networking setup:

I first removed Network Manager and replaced it with the network service (chkconfig --level 25 network on). That put an end to the overwriting of /etc/hosts, which now reads simply:

CentOS 5 :: Postfix Mail Server Will Not Start Tried To Change Postfix Smtp Port?

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

Server :: Updated Postfix Not Running After Transferring Over Users From Older Postfix?

Feb 25, 2011

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:

Feb 25 16:24:39 puny1 postfix/master[3517]: fatal: fifo_listen: create fifo public/pickup: Permission denied

I gather this is a file permission issue and ive tried to make sure the public folder in /var/spool/postfix is correctly set but still no avail.

Server :: Activate Aliases From A Script?

Jan 17, 2010

I wrote a small script :

#cat myscript.sh
NEWFILE=dojas.sh
touch $NEWFILE

in that script I create some alias commands an pipe them to a new shell script (called dojas.sh) however after execution of that script , I do not see the aliases jan1 and jan2 in my terminal. Even if I execute the dojas.sh srcipt manually , I do not see the aliases in the alias output of my terminal. The only way I can make the aliases active is do the following : cat dojas.sh copy and paste the alias rules, and they are active in my session. How can I make sure that I can activate aliases and they are active in my terminal from a script ?

Note : I am not interested in .bashrc file, I want them to be active in my current session.

Server :: Sendmail - Trusted-users Or Aliases ?

Jul 27, 2011

For a project that I have been assigned to, I need to send emails to a business partner(business_partner.com) from one production server. However, my emails neither reach their destination nor bounce back to me.

Working with our business partner's IT support, the following error was discovered in their maillogs:

Quote:

Further analysis by my IT support shows that emails are successfully sent out ("Message accepted for delivery"):

Quote:

The app I coded is not using a public internet email address (e.g. me@hidden_domain_name.com) to send these notifications.

Instead, it uses an intranet email address (the server's where my code resides: user_name@servername.hidden_domain_name.com).

We created an alias but it made no change. Would adding my public internet email address to "trusted-users" file (we use sendmail)

CentOS 5 Server :: Configuring Email Aliases Per Domain?

I've got a server with several different virtual hosts on them, e.g. host1.com, host2.com, host3.com.

Is there a way I can set up an email alias just for an individual domain?

e.g. I want to set up help@host2.com, but not to have help@host1.com or help@host3.com.

I can't see how to do this in the /etc/aliases file...

Ubuntu Servers :: How To Create A Mailbox For Postfix

May 8, 2011

EDIT: Change the topic, see post #3

I've been following this guide: http://flurdy.com/docs/postfix/

And done the points up to "Advanced mail server" and are trying to test mailing mail@mydomain.com to mail@mydomain.com (yes, the same inbox) using Thunderbird, through my own DNS, from the server.

But I get the following error: The message can not be sent because the connection to SMTP server mydomain.com timed out.

And when I check /var/spool/mail/virtual where the mailboxes are supposed to be stored there are none.

So I'm wondering how I create a mailbox with postfix.

I can add that I am quite a noob at linux but have to do this in a school project.

I'm using ubuntu server 10.04 32bit with GUI (yes I know, I know)

Debian Configuration :: Postfix - Cannot Currently Create Any Folders Other Than Inbox

Jun 20, 2011

My Postfix cannot currently create any folders other than inbox. Even when I send an e-mail I receive an error along the lines of, "Could not create sendmail folder." Also, my Postfix isn't receiving e-mails, and can only send e-mails to other accounts on the server. I called my ISP and they told me my port 25 isn't blocked, and it is forwarded on my router so I am not sure what could be wrong. I am using zoneedit as my name server and I am pretty sure my MX record is good.

Software :: Create User Account Filter With Postfix?

Jun 21, 2010

I am using this config.

I'm looking to create a white-list of email addresses that are allowed to send mail to my son's email address. Basically, I'm trying to do this:

if from not in ('dad@home.net','mom@home.net','unclebill@work.org')
then deliver to 'dad@home.net'

Or deliver to /dev/null or something.

This would be only for his account/domain, not server-wide.

The configuration above uses MySQL for forwarding and authentication. I'm not sure if that is a plus or minus for what I'm trying to do.

Ubuntu :: Postfix / Gmail Smtp Configuration Failure To Authenticate / Create Tls Connection

For the past two days I have been in and out of the logs, changing parameters and blindly following tutorials but I can't get anything to work properly. So far I've narrowed my problems down to tls connection establishing and a failure to authenticate, judging by the local emails I've received from "The mail system".
