We're using sendmail with ldap routing. We've setup a new mailstore which some of our users are piloting.
We've been asked to configure sendmail to forward a copy of pilot users emails to the new mailstore (Zimbra) as well as the old (Sun Messaging).
I'm not exactly sure how to do this. I've tried modifying aliases to forward to 2 destinations, but ldap routing seems to take precedence before aliases.
I am using sendmail-8.13 & procmail as an MDA. Now as our mail users are increasing I need to put up mailbox quota limit for every user. I have gone through the search engine but could not found any effective help to configure mailbox quota with sendmail & procmail.

i have configured sendmail server in my lan and it is working fine for me.but there is one little problem for me. i want mails send sunita should be received by vinita.sunita and vinita both are normal users on same pc.
for this i made entry in
Code:
/etc/aliases sunita: vinita
I have a Linux server that has local mail service. There are few user accounts on this server. User may send the mail to each other but that only restrict to LAN environment only.
For example, I may
# mail user1
To send mail to user1. User are not able to send mail to public. Some service like hylafax using this local mail service to send notification of fax status.
I don't want to manage and maintain local mail service anymore. I have subscribed a package from ISP to host a public domain of my own. I wish to have my hylafax service to able to send the notification mails to public mail server, is that possible to do it? It is great if all mails that send to local mail server may forward to public mail server. That makes the local mail service serve mail forward only.
I already have sendmail dovecot and roundcube webmail in my linux centos 5.6Problem is that i want to change mailbox format mbox to maildir because maildir is faster and stable.So i search about this and i see sendmail doesnt save in maildir format.Is there any way to change sendmail save format mbox to maildir.Or do u have any idea for it.

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

Sendmail M4 base directory = /usr/share/sendmail-cf

i have setup mailrelay using postfix and relay email to exchange server. The problem is how can i relay email to multiple exchange server. For example: -
domain aa.bb.com relay to exchange server 10.10.10.10
domain 123.test.com relay to exchange server 192.168.10.5
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 need to check my mailboxes for errors. My imapd has permanent errors, it periodically crashes. I think that the problem will be with some errors which was created when I converted my previous maildirs to mailboxes.
It is possible to check the integrity of these mailboxes with some command or script?

I have an email setup where all of the emails from our email host is downloaded to our Linux server using Fetchmail. Then some of the incoming emails are sent to an MS exchange server (server1.domain.com) using Postfix.

View 11 Replies View RelatedI would like configure a DNS server on Debian, only to forward through my ISP DNS servers.
View 4 Replies View RelatedSo here is my issue in a nutshell. I need to take FTP requests that hit Server_A and forward them to Server_B. Server_B is not natted...Server_B is another public server in a completely different location in the world. One thing to note is that I only have one NIC hence why you will see both in and out being eth0. This is what I have in my iptables on SERVER_A:iptables -A FORWARD -p tcp -i eth0 --sport 21 -o eth0 -d SERVER_B --dport 21 -m state --state NEW -j ACCEPTiptables -A FORWARD -p tcp -i eth0 --sport 20 -o eth0 -d SERVER_B --dport 20 -m state --state NEW -j ACCEPTI've also tried both of the above without the --sport option. When I FTP to SERVER_A (where the above iptables rule are) it connects to SERVER_A instead of forwarding them to SERVER_B.

public ip :10.0.0.1
privite ip1 :192.168.1.1
matching website domain:www1.test.com
privite ip2:192.168.1.2
matching website domain:www2.test.com
and if someone access [URL] the iptables will know they want to access 192.168.1.1 and it will forward to the server 192.168.1.1!!

I recently setup an email server on Fedora Core (14). Sendmail is running and I am trying to authenticate from a client pc using imaps. I installed Cyrus-imap and it is running and listening on 993. When I try to login, it doesn't accept authentication even though I verified the user's password is correct. (tested with ssh)Is there something I have to do with Cyrus or on the server to allow connections to email? I have not used Cyrus before. I am attempting to access my mail folders via Sendmail and did not make mailboxes in Cyrus. I did allow imaps through the firewall.

After searching the forum I could not find a clear answer to my question so I am giving it a try...
I have installed a LAMP server with Postfix as mail server. The scripts send email as user www-data using the mail server on the same machine.
However, the email got rejected by external mail servers (failed reverse DNS check) so I setup a mail server that meets all needed requirements.
Now I would like to use this second server instead of the mail server on the LAMP server. I found that this could be done with changing sendmail settings in php.ini (I think).
However I am not sure how that will go: www-data is no actual user on the new email server (which requires authentication before sending). Do I need to create a new user on the email server or change the settings in php.ini to match an existing user?
