Server :: Mail Server - POSTFIX - COURIER INSTALLED
Apr 7, 2011
I'm trying to get my server back up to snuff. I'm using Debian Squeeze right now and I'm up and atom with apache, mysql, php, pureftpd, ssh, and I have squirrelmail installed.
My dilemma comes with the mail part of the whole ordeal, Postfix and Courier are installed, have their keys made, and for what I assume, are configured correctly. HOW do I make new virtual users? My domain points to this machine as well as my MX record for mail.mydomain.com.
I need IMAP and POP working. And upon the creation of new email users, will SquirrelMail interface with Postfix and Courier? When I installed SM I set it up for use with Courier.

Im looking for a way to block emails that come into the mail server for users that are no longer on the domain. I see a lot of messages in the maillog for emails coming in for people that are no longer active users on the domain.
setup:
Using spamassassin if that matters.
Using Active Directory on a windows server.
I found postfix uses this "reject_unknown_recipient_domain" in /etc/postfix/main.cf but I am unsure where this would be used in courier.
Ive seen some hints here. But not sure how to adapt this for domain users.

i followed this tutorial to the "T", [URL]. I am not able to login to the mailboxes with squirrelmail, it says "connection dropped by imap server" I used the whole address as a login just like it said to do. I can sucessfully authenticate with outlook express but it throws an error that say's [URL], no such file or directory. i can telnet into it remotely but when i type ehlo [URL] it just keeps showing all the 250 lines and wont let me generate a message.
from what i saw on the comments on the tutorial and googling there are many other people with this problem, however i found no solutions. This is fresh work and i have not touched any config files since finishing the tutorial

In the last week email delivery had slowed down to taking approximately 24 hours and investigation has revealed that there were 45000 emails in the mailqueue. I flushed the mailqueue yesterday but mail delivery is slowing down again because emails are again being queued by the thousand.
The mails are mainly spam sent to ficticious users at a genuine domain hosted on the server.
My setup is running Courier IMAP with Postfix, Spassassin is installed along with Amavisd-new but I just don't understand why this has suddenly become a problem based on my setup not having changed for the last 6 months.
Should these spam emails be being discarded by spamassassin before reaching the mail queue? Are my discard score settings too high (6.9)?

I've setup my server by following a ton of goods, and it seems to work ok, but I need to start using my server for email in order to receive orders placed via my website. I've followed this guide - [URL] I followed the steps above, and tested the mail server via telnet, and all seemed to be ok. I tried sending an email via Squirrelmail, from cs@thinclientwarehouse.co.uk TO my working email simon@c1systems.co.uk, but the server returned with the following message:
<simon@c1systems.co.uk>: host mail.c1systems.co.uk[95.128.128.129] said: 550-Verification failed for <cs@localhost.thinclientwarehouse.co.uk> 550-The mail server could not deliver mail to cs@localhost.thinclientwarehouse.co.uk. The account or domain may not exist, they may be blacklisted, or missing the proper dns entries. 550 Sender verify failed (in reply to RCPT TO command)

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 did a a basic install of postfix and dovecot instead of using courier-pop and courier-imap. This is only send and receiving e-mail locally within the test network 10.7.0.X and 10.0.0.X. I used:

This is the error when I send an email from a local machine on the 10.0.0.X network.

I am running Fedora 10, Postfix and Dovecot I recently changed the password of a user using the 'passwd' command. The problem is that the user can no longer receive their email messages in Thunderbird (Authentication Error). However, they can still login using SquirrelMail and get their mail.

Two exchange servers internally. One is setup for example.com (192.168.1.10) and the other is setup for example2.com (192.168.1.20) Both are behind a single public IP.
I want to use postfix to sit in front of the two exchange servers. Postfix will accept mail for both domains and relay to the appropriate server. I have postfix installed with only defaults at this point.

I'm running a Debian LAMP server and I am adding postfix. The initial config is working and I can send and receive mail both locally and over the WAN. The problem is that I cannot get mail delivered to the user's home directory using Maildir/. I have set the:home_mailbox = Maildir/ parameter in main.cf but mail still goes to /var/mail after Postfix reload. The system is now using Maildir/ instead of mbox but in /var/mail. I really want to get mail into the user's home directory.

Iv setup a postfix mail server.. and setup my MX records within DNS. I configured the posfix mail server with the Mail accounts.I sent the accounts a test message. They end up in the Maildir for the user. But for some reason i cannot POP the mail server from a client. I can telnet to the SMTP server.. But cannot telnet to the POP3. Iv opened the ports in the firewall correctly. and even tried disabling the Firewall but when i try to Telnet to port 110 or POP port 110 i get an error saying "connection refused"

I'm trying to get my network set up. There is an internal network separated, by a dedicated firewall, from the DMZ. I'm trying to send mail from the internal network, using mutt, to the postfix server on the DMZ.No firewall is set up yet on the dedicated firewall(the whole network is, at the moment, protected by the border router) Mutt was installed with the smtp, pop,imap,ssl,sasl,gdbm options.
I thought the fact that it was compiled with the SMTP flag set would enable me to either send mail without an MTA on the same machine that mutt is installed on(internal network host) Or that i could just specify the path to the sendmail binary and not have to start postfix as a daemon ?I've found out that sendmail is supposed to be a postfix command. So i added:
Code:
sendmail="/usr/sbin/sendmail"
to /Users/me/.mutt/muttrc
But now when i start mutt i get an error saying:
Code:
/usr/sbin/sendmail: Unknown command
Obviously i started postfix before firing up mutt The permissions say that i should be able to execute sendmail as a normal user.But mutt isn't dealing with it, even though permissions appear to be correct.What do i need to do to get mail, from a normal user, over my LAN working(with mutt and postfix)?Once i have this working then i can get a proper domain name and configure postfix on the DMZ for SASL+TLS etc etcBTW i can send mail to postfix from internal network using
Code:
telnet serverhost 25
etc

I have postfix installed on 2 different boxes for 2 different domains in my network. The 2 boxes are in a single network which has a PIX firewall as the internet gateway. In the PIX the external IPs are being mapped with internal IPs of the corresponding boxes. In fact, the boxes are able to resolve the IPs of each other from the DNS. But none of them can contact each other using external IPs. They don't even ping each other with external IPs, but works fine with internal IPs. When investigated on the issue, I found that this cannot be called an issue, but this is how a network is designed (Not sure if I am right). But all the boxes can contact each other using their internal IPs.
The tweak in my mind is to specify the internal IP of the other mail server in the same network, to postfix. Is there anyway to do this?
I tried specifying the internal IP in /etc/hosts, but did not help. I came to a conclusion that postfix is not considering /etc/hosts file (Again I am not sure).

We moved over from Cpanel using Exim. I was wondering if anyone knew of way to convert the mail so when a user logs in they get to all their mail in their folders. I notice exim has a ton of folders while postfix creates files that act like folders which contain all the emails. I sent up 1 of the emails into the our mail folder that was created by Exim and it can be Subscribed to in Outlook with imap but the emails inside doesn't show up. They both appear as text files so I don't know what the difference is.

how the whole mail server thing works, and what software handles what job. From my understanding POP3 and IMAP are protocols to pull email from a mail server, and SMTP is used to push email to a server. There are many programs that I've seen involved with creating a mail server, but I'm trying to use just Postfix. Postfix can send and receive email right?
My server runs in my basement and runs Ubuntu Server 10.10. It uses Cherokee as its web server, and it runs several other servers as well (SSH, FTP, Git, etc). My goal is to set up a mail server so that websites I run such as a Redmine or a web forum can send emails to people (e.g. an activation email for a user registering on a forum).
Anyway, I set up postfix, and now my server can receive email. I've been able to send an email from my Gmail address to drew@minipenguin.com (my server), and it works. However, if I try to send email from drew@minipenguin.com to my Gmail, it never goes through. I don't care about receiving email, as my only goal is to be able to send it.
