I'm using Debian 5.0.4 with shell access only, exim4 and mutt. I would like 'all' outgoing mail sent by any/all users to be auto'ed CC (not BCC) to a specified e-mail account for auditing purposes. I do have it working for BCC using 'unseen', but I really want it be CC. I have spent hours of searching/reading/testing and have not been able to find out how. I have seen it done on other shells I've been on as a user; any mail that I sent out, I did not see it was being CC'd but once the recipient received it was also addressed 'toaddr@thatshell.com').
It's not practical to add an alias for every user on the system (/etc/aliases) and to remember to do so each time adding a user. If I set in etc/profile alias mail= mail toaddr Users can still find ways around that.
I have a small home network running mail agents Evolution and Thunderbird, and connected to the internet via Comcast. Originally I used my campus office computer as a mail server, but encountered problmes because Comcast started blocking port 25, allegedly because of span problems. I need to change the setup on my campus office computer so it uses port 587 when functioning as an outgoing mail server.
Can anyone recommend a tutorial which tells me everything to do in order to accomplish that?
At present I'm, using Comcast's outgoing mail server, but I started having problems with sporadic blokage of outgoing mail with attachments, which Comast can't explain.
I created a signature, for my outgoing mail, in Composer Preferences but it don't show when I create a new mail. how to get the signature in my outgoing mail, it would be nice to share.
I m using sendmail-8.13.8-2.el5 along with MailScanner-4.79.11-1
i want to set a rule so that user1@mydomain.com can send only to anotherdomain.com domain. sending mail to any other domain will be rejected. can it be done by sendmail or MailScanner ??
I'm setting up a server and trying to make it *very* secure. Before I configured my web stack, I was about to install some security packages, Tiger and Samhain, but these packages wanted to install sendmail so that they can send outgoing notifications. From the reading I've been doing, I believe I want postfix instead of sendmail. It is my (perhaps mistaken) belief that installing postfix first will prevent them from installing this sendmail I do not want.
I want to install postfix with the following goals in mind:
* let PHP scripts send mail using the mail function.
* various system notification functions (cron, etc.) will be able to send their emails
* emails destined for root@localhost will be redirected to admin@mydomain.com
* let tiger and/or samhain send their notification emails
* NO INCOMING OR LOCAL MAIL IS PERMITTED. Because mail for my domain is handled by google apps, nobody will be checking mail on this server. Also, this server has very limited disk space. It is therefore very important that we don't have mail accumulating in boxes that will never be checked.
* no unnecessary ports, services, or cron jobs are running.
I've been reading a variety of pages that describe postfix setup on Ubuntu but these articles are imprecise, incomplete, and describe installation of things I don't want like POP/IMAP/etc.
There's also one final wrinkle. I will be setting up postfix to send via Amazon SES.
I have installed a sendmail server on fedora 10 I try to configure my sendmail server as a mail server to send outgoing email using port 587( because port 25 is blocked). after finishing configuring my sendmail server, i checked out my sendmail server using telnet localhost 587, and it worked fine as below code...
I have tried two different ways for user name: name, or name@mail.mydomian.com, but not working at all, the two results are the same. PS: I have test port 587 and can use port 587 and Kmail to send outgoing mail using other external relay server
is my wrong configuration for sendmail server or kmail?
I just set up a new router for our home office. I've enabled traffic logging, and I'd like to have the logs emailed to me. However, in order to configure email-notification, the router needs and outgoing mail server. Forgive me, but I don't really understand the terminology being used here. I've googled this a bit, but I'm not sure I now what "outgoing" vs "incoming" mean in the context. I tried using my gmail account as the outgoing mail server (smpt.gmail.com) but it requires TTLS encryption, and there's no option for that on my router.
So I figured I'd setup a simple mail server on my local network. I have a dedicated server machine, so I'd just configure a mail server there. But I got stumped at the first input box (in the yast module):"Outgoing Mail Server".That's what I wanted to use this server for. What is this "outgoing mail server"? I understand it in a normal emai context (I think) but this is confusing me. I've read through the HowTo on the openSUSE wiki, but it still doesn't answer this question.Isn't there some way to have a simple, local mail server (without MX records and the like) so I can send email from a local machine?
I've got a web server that's hosting a few sites, and there are a few WordPress instances with these sites. With Wordpress, whenever a user registers with the site, they receive an email.With my server, it sends mail via Sendmail. This is all fine and good, except no matter what, it's flagged as spam. Is there any way to correct this?Keep in mind that this isn't a mail server, and the only reason the server ever sends mail is for new wordpress users and password resets.
I have setup mail server on Ubuntu 9.10 and it's is working fine.I am using Webmin to addministrate my mail server.My Ubuntu server name abcs.I send a test mail from Wedmin for user gom.Why it keep adding InfoNet. What I would like is setup as gom@abcs.com.
I'm going crazy with this one. For whatever reason, sendmail will not authorize any users. I've tried multiple logins (all with good credentials) but still get login fail, ie (FYI this is a sendmail/MailScanner setup if it makes any difference):
220 hostname.net ESMTP Sendmail 8.13.8/8.13.8; Fri, 19 Nov 2010 12:07:08 -0600 ehlo hostname.net 250-hostname.net Hello testdomain.com [123.123.123.123], pleased to meet you
I have a fairly standard Exim setup for inbound and outbound mail. Recently our development team has put together a PHP app that allows us to send out bulk mails to our clients. The PHP app uses standard PEAR libraries to initiate an SMTP connection to localhost (application and mail server are on the same box). The idea here is that the application will send out roughly 10'000 emails in a very short time period (60 seconds or so) which Exim will then hold in its queue for delivery.
The problem comes in where after about 50 emails, Exim stops accepting mail and loggs the following error in the exim_main.log file: SMTP command timeout on connection from localhost [127.0.0.1] Could it be that this is because Exim immediately starts delivering the mail and then stops accepting new incoming connections? I thought that increasing the SMTP limits may be the problem here, but even after setting new values in the exim.conf file to the following, I still get the same problem: queue_run_max = 5000 smtp_accept_max = 5000 smtp_accept_queue = 5000
This begs two questions: How do I resolve this? What is the best way for configuring Exim to accept a huge amount of mail into the queue in a very short time period, but then gradually delivery it once it's all in the queue? I've seen some people run separate Exim daemons for incoming and outgoing mail; is this a good solution?
Im trying to get postfix to filter my outgoing mail and basically drop everything that is not in my hash table.
So far I managed to get this going
Code:
Code:
Unfortunately those rules also apply to incoming messages. My goal is to disallow users on my host to change their "MAIL FROM" to anything they like and restrict them to domains I specify. I'm aware that the local part still is variable and a user of domain "foo.com" could use a email of domain "bar.com", but still some of my troubles would be solved if I get this running.
Working in a SW company. guys transfer their codes through email outside the company. mailserver running on postfix. Is there any method to filter mails according to contents of attachment not by file extension.
As a part of migration I am proposing different scenarios to my organization. One which is asked to prepare is to configure multiple mail servers to handle incoming and outgoing mails. Say I have -[URL], I need to have accept mails from [URL] and send mail from [URL].
I just configured my first postfix mail server today. Everything is working correctly except for the fact that on all outgoing emails instead of the mail format being user@mydomain.biz it says user@hostnameofpostfixserver. I've looked everywhere I can think and I cant see where I'm substituting the host-name of the server for the domain name of my email. Where else could it be?Below is my main.cf. I am running ubuntu 9.10.# See /usr/share/postfix/main.cf.dist for a commented, more complete version# Debian specific: Specifying a file name will cause the first# line of that file to be used as the name. The Debian default
I would like to set disclaimer like content in my meral mail server, so that all the users should be able to get that content automatically in their outgoing mails.
We run a service in which a customer types in a form and gets a confirmation email after submitting the form. We are on a server with no control panel. We are running CentOS 5.
When we did our testing sendmail sent mails just fine and I was able to receive them. After we went live we found that 75% of our emails are being rejected by other mail servers. Doing research is seems that the headers indicate the emails are coming from 127.0.0.1.
We need to correct this problem, as well as do everything we can to reduce the risk of our mails being marked as spam. We do not receive mail on this server, but rather send mail. We have another email server on another server for receiving mail for our domain, which is already configured with cPanel (which doesn't have a problem).
We can not use cPanel on this server because of certain security restrictions.
I know that sendmail is cryptic to configure. We are willing to switch to Exim if necessary.
As far as installing Exim, I understand it's as easy as:
I Have a system,on which I have dynamic internet, I want to generate a mail to my specific mail id as exp-123@yahoo.com. Like this,to give me the information about my dynamic IP Address. I also want that if my internet reconnects then the mail must be generated to give new IP address information.
i m using centos 5.4 for Data Server, there i hv shared a directory to store data. i want, when ever owner of that data does delete any thing from directory, system should send me a mail with logs of that deletion action with the detail some thing like bellow
1- IP of system, from where owner did access the server and delete the data.
2- Date, Time and Name of File with Path.
These logs should be sent me by email automatically.
Despite enabling the "auto-complete" to complete an e-mail address from my personal Address-book, it doesn't work. After pressing on the "To"-button, no e-mail address is visible in the list of contacts. That is strange since the contacts are visible within the address book itself. However, when I typed the name of a contact within the "Search"-field of the address book, it also shows no result. Strange... Additional info: two days ago I replaced addressbook.db in Debian manually by the addressbook.db from Ubuntu 11.04 (I'm migrating from Ubuntu 11.04 to Debian Squeeze). It seems that there is no connection between the visible contacts in the address book and the rest of the Evolution. How can I solve it?
how to remove some email addresses from the auto-completion list which appears when starting to enter a new mail address into the "to:" field. Since I'm using Evolution for several years now there are a lot of e-mail addresses which are either obsolete or simply incorrect.
I have configured mail server using Centos. I have also used procmail and used squirrel mail as webmail browser. I want to provide auto reply facility to my users? What should I do?
I code primarily in jQuery/JavaScript, and I'm looking for a text editor for Linux that has auto-indent and auto-outdent (seems to be tough to find that). Any suggestions? I've checked Gedit, Cream, vim, Bluefish.None of them seem to have this feature.
I recently installed 32bit maverick and wanted to make it login automatically. I tried enabling auto login from Admin > Login but that didnt work and I was still prompted for my password. Then I went to Users & Groups and changed the password option to Do Not ask for password at login now after I reboot, the user list is shown (only 1 user) and it doesnt ask for password after I click on my username.
However, then it gives a few errors (as i vaguely recall):
1. cannot load .ICE directory in my home directory 2. some error 256 about a gconf-sanity-2 file 3. nautilus cannot load my home directory etc
and then it gets stuck without loading anything (blank wallpaper). i ve tried navigating to my home directory using Alt F2, gksudo nautilus and my home dir contents are encrypted by the ecryptfs (there is a readme.txt file and a shortcut). i have tried to decrypt but it doesnt work... i ve also tried to start/stop gdm, and startx but nothing works. if i stop gdm, then the prompt doesnt recognize my password and keeps on rejecting the commands i enter... I think this has something to do with the home dir not being decrypted due to the dont ask for paswd option... how can i disable the dont ask for pwd without the gui (i can access my / by booting through an external usb).
