Server :: Run Qmail And Sendmail On One Both On Another Port?
Feb 5, 2010
possible to run Qmail and Sendmail on one server, both on another port? I need qmail for Plesk and sendmail for OpenEMM Now qmail is working for plesk, but if I install qmail ( I tried install it also from source) and try to run sendmail, I still get this error: Starting sendmails: listener sendmail: illegal option -- q chich probably means, that there isnt full sendmail version.
I want to setup either Zimbra, qmail or sendmail. i have no idea of these three mtas (i am new to these mail servers)but give me the suggestion that which one is better in case of security, fast routing the messages, scalibility and portability and cost.
while sending mail form squirrer mail it gives erorqmail-inject: fatal:unalbe to exec qq(#4.3.0)iam not able to send mail.i googled but not got solution.
My problem is that when i try to open port 25 with telenet it takes lot of time like more than 1 minute to open session and another 30 - 40 seconds to respond to "ehlo" command.
Also when i try to open telnet session on port 25 in another server it hardly takes 1-2 seconds open session.
I have configured a sendmail MTA for incoming mails in a network and by using IPtables i have redirected the traffic internally to other port where one more SMTP by a application is running.Iptables rule:
I am aware that there is a qmail-ldap package to have ldap back end for qmail. But I need only user authentication for qmail through ldap (not the backend; i.e still keeping Mysql as the database). I am pretty new to mail server configuration. I have just configured a (q)mail server (which is currently my sand box) and am able send and receive emails. I am planning to add ldap authentication (just that) to it. Can anyone point me to the right direction?
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 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 been trying all day today to setup a sendmail SMTP server on our Red Hat 5.5 dev box. We have 2 network cards, 1 to the local network with a 192.168 prefix and an external card which goes out to the web through a BT leased line through a Cisco router.
First I followed one of the many helpful tutorials online to setup sendmail, installed all the required packages and made a couple of small config changes to allow the service to listen on all IP addresses rather than just the localhost 127.0.0.1.
The main change is in the /etc/mail/sendmail.mc file where I have changed the following line;
I have tried removing Addr completely, setting to either the local or external IP and then rebuilding the sendmail file using 'make -C /etc/mail' and then restarting using 'service sendmail restart'
The SMTP port has been added into the firewall and it is showing to be listening on IP 0.0.0.0:25 which I believe means it is listening on all IP's assigned to the machine, sendmail is also in listen mode and running correctly.
Finally I have changed the /etc/mail/access file to include the local IP range 192.168 and external IP range and rebuilt this into the /etc/mail/access.db file and then restarted sendmail.
Googling the error all the sites I have found talk about making sure the 'DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp,Addr=x.x.x.x, Name=MTA')dnl' line is uncommented and not much else in terms of what else might be incorrect.
I am starting to run out of ideas on things to change or check, telnet works correctly on other ports on the same server, ie httpd for apache on port 80. I have also rebooted the server to make sure that it wasn't something odd happening.
One of our client having issue with the qmail. The issue is if any one send email to abc@ourdomain.com (abc@ourdomain.com the email address which is not exist) it should send failure notification i.e."email does not exist" to the sender. The qmail server is not notifying that email address does not exist.
I would like to connect to a separate mysql server, yet I can't find any documentation on how to do this.How would one achieve this? I am running qmail on centos4.
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.
is qmail server running in the secondary office and it was working fine. yesterday qmail suffered some problem.i came to know about the problem today.now after troubleshooting and looking into the server, the qmailclt stat commands shows that all services are working and there is nothing going crazy in the server. The maillog is showing errors which i am pasting here for the convienance.
we have qmail server installed on rhl 9. it was working perfectly fine for last 1 year. suddenly it stopped accepting emails from internet. when i telnet on port 25 it takes about 90 secs to show the SMTP ready state.I have tried many things
1. stopped Reverse DNS Lookup by adding -H to qmail-smtpd/run file 2. stopped spamassing and AV 3. reverified DNS server settings in resolv.conf 4. dig is resolving dns query properly.
i also observed that when i do telnet to telnet localhost 25 response is very quick
but when i do telnet local_server_IP_address 25 it takes aprx 90 secs to show me SMTP ready messege.
can someone shed some light on this as what should i do next to rectify this problem..

Is it possible to have multiple servers in /var/qmail/control/smtproutes? I need to prevent if the server unavailable then it would connect to another ones.
After successfully installment of qmail instead of installing Squirrel mail I decide to installing round-cube mail or Horde. But both are not getting success.
I am installing qmail on centos 5.4. I run "rpmbuild -bb --with cnt5064 qmail-toaster.spec" then todo edit in file chkuser_settings.h in vi /usr/src/redhat/BUILD/qmail-1.03/chkuser_settings.h but I am not getting complete folder qmail-1.03 why is it so...
we are using qmail as our MTA. Now the users are using outlook and web client. There is one important thing that i like to share with people here and request from the experts to suggest some solution. when using outlook you can just give someone's else name who has got an account in the same domain having same qmail server running and you will be receiving and sending on the behalf of that person rather you will be using his/her account.
We have Exchange as our Mailbox server > Qmail as our SMTP server > and we use postini for filtering. We recently got word from a customer that he received a "451 error - can't connect to server" message from Postini - stating that the server is unreachable. This does not happen often so obviously Postini can connect to the qmail server. Are there logs that I can look at to find out why and when these would occur?
Anyone have an issue with Messages in Queue going crazy? and inside the emails is: Received: (qmail 13662 invoked by alias); 20 Aug 2010 10:07:14 -0700 Delivered-To: [URL]..
Don't really know what could be causing this, the other day my messages in queue was at like 5,000 or so, but now its up to 445,000 messages in queue!! All of them that exact message.
I am doing this project for our school. Basically we want to pipe all incoming emails to a script which filters out certain messages (not only spam but duplicates, large messages, etc). If they fail certain criteria, the script simply does nothing.If they pass , then the script should pass the entire message (headers and body) back on to qmail to send. The piping part is not a problem, but I am stuck with the next part. Is there a way to pass the headers and body back to qmail for it to process and send, as if it received it the first time?Some details:A catchall email account is created via Plesk control panel on linux (centos).THe .qmail file in /var/qmail/mailnames/domain.com/catchall/ is edited to include the line:-|/path/to/pipe/handler.phpThe handler.php file simply reads the entire message (headers and body) and they are then parsed and analysed.
