Server :: Setting Up Sendmail On A Blank RHEL 5.5 Server Setup

Jun 21, 2010

Having some issues setting up sendmail on a (basically) blank RHEL 5.5 server setup. My ultimate goal is to be able to automagically send logs / errors / notifications to ourselves from the server.

Our basic setup is a Win 2003 domain with exchange running on mail.domain.com.au.

I've edited the '/etc/mail/sendmail.mc' and added the :

Code:

line to it.

Also added the domain (domain.com.au) to the '/etc/mail/local-host-names' files

Also edited submit.mc and added

Code:

When I try and send a mail from root or a test user to one of the domain accounts, it seems to go fine, i.e no errors are reported but it never gets delivered.

From the mail logs:

Code:

So it seems to be sent to the queue no problems and when I check the queue :

Code:

Total requests: 0

Not nothing ever gets received. Am I missing something? I have read and read and read but dont seem to be getting any furthur.

So in the end this server doesn't need to do anything except be able to send mail from root to an external mail address.

domain2.com -> sendmail

If it is possible can someone let me know how i would go about doing this? If it is not how would i disable exim and use sendmail for all mail?

CentOS 5 Server :: Email Server Setup Using Sendmail And Dovecot?

Apr 24, 2009

I am trying to set up a mail server on centos5 using sendmail and dovecot, and eventually spamassassin and some antivirus filter as well. I'd also like to get the proper secure auth mechanism set up at some point too. But for starters, I've been having a lot of difficulty trying to even connect to the mail server from a client computer in the local network. I installed Eudora on the client and after some tweaking in dovecot I was able to connect to the mail server, but then when I try to send an email I get a "connection refused" error, with nothing being logged on the server that I can see.

The last time I set up a mail server was Fedora Core 2, so the configuration files have changed a bit to say the least, and I can't really refer back to those to set up this new server. Does anybody know of a good step-by-step doc on getting the mail server going? I've read the man pages and other various readme's, but these really only list out the available options with no really good explanation of what needs to be done to get the mail server going. If there isn't a full write-up on how to do this, I'll put something together when I'm finished so others can use it in the future.

Server :: RHEL - Sendmail Delay In Connecting To SMTP For Some Addresses Only

Jun 4, 2010

Sendmail on the RHEL server is set up to forward email to company internal mail server (via SMART_HOST). This has worked fine for years.

From the server, doing a sendmail dave@company.com, the message is sent immediately. No problems - and no change here.

From the server, doing a sendmail roberto@compania.com (compania is the part of the company in Mexico) causes a 2m40s delay before sendmail does anything.

No packets are sent until after 2m40s wait. Message is always sent after the delay. It is not clear what the server is waiting for.

For *each* user in the @compania domain specified in sendmail command, an additional 2:40 is imposed before email is sent. Email is always sent after the n*2:40 sec delay.

Sending email to some_name@AnUnusedDomainNameThatDoesntExist.com is processed immediately - with a bounce email received in a couple of seconds.

Q: How do I determine where this 2m 40s delay is introduced?

CentOS 5 Server :: Setup DKIM With Sendmail?

Jun 23, 2009

I am trying to make my webserver a well respected email sender and it appears to me that using DKIM is something I need to do.

I have no experience with this and would like to know if anyone thinks there are issues that I should be aware of before going down this path.

Also, I have not been able to find any good, STEP BY STEP, documentation on how to set up DKIM with Sendmail.

I am also not sure if you need a certain network configuration for DKIM to work...this is what I am working with:

My webserver (centos 5.3, sendmail 8.13.8) sends outgoing mail and has a valid reverse DNS that matches a forward DNS. The MX records for my webserver's domain point to a third party email provider who handles the incoming mail for that domain. I added an spf record that signifies it that my webserver is authorized to send mail for mydomain.

Networking :: CentOS Mail Setup - Sendmail Via External SMTP Server

Jul 30, 2011

I am setting up a CentOS box as a NAT firewall that needs to also send mail. It needs to send this mail using an outside provider's SMTP. The provider requires SMTP over SSL. None of the machines inside the NAT will ever send mail except via the provider's SMTP nor will they ever receive mail except to local clients via the provider's IMAP servers.

So for the example the machine is TESTMACHINE. There is one internet facing ethernet port connected to a DSL modem via pppoe.

The SMTP it needs to send mail via is mail.host.net which requires SMTP over SSL (port 465) and username/password authentication.

The sendmail documentation is quite confusing on how to get this simple setup operating, so an example showing the appropriate changes to sendmail.mc and other require config files.

Server :: Sendmail M4 Configuration Base Directory /usr/share/sendmail-cf Was Not Found

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

Server :: Sendmail Not Reading Default Sendmail.cf ?

Apr 1, 2010

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.

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.

Server :: PHP And Sendmail With External Mail Server / Failed Reverse DNS Check?

Jun 7, 2010

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?
