Software :: Email Settings: Which Config File Identifies The Smtp Server
Dec 9, 2010
I have a recent install of Fedora14, and wanted to have outbound email sent to a smtp server elsewhere on the local network. I found the System->Preferences->Email Settings app and created a mail account with an smtp server. Now I am able to use mailx, mutt, and sendmail -- all send email correctly to the external server.
But I don't like being reliant on the GUI apps and wanted to know how this was done -- what system config files were affected. Assuming that my "smtp.xxx.com" server should show up somewhere, I grepped /home, /etc, and /var, but can't find it anywhere. On a whim I went into Evolution, deleted the mail account, and rebooted, but email STILL works. Where is this configured?
I am trying to see if a can get a centos 5.5 server setup as an smtp store and forward spamfilter by following the Centos Wiki and the freespamfilter.org guide by Mr88Talent at [url], which relates to another linux distro.
The spamfilter is essentially working! however, i have one issue with DCC.
test problem:
I'm not sure if anyone else would be interested in a Centos version of Mr88Talent's tutorial, but a very rough and completely untested first effort is available at the following url: [url]
Any opinions on this setup or just a total slating of everything i have done wrong would be welcome as i don't want to waste time trying to use a setup that is just not going to be practical or reliable to maintain / keep operational.
I have read that yum update can break this type of system - which concerns me.
The intended use of the spamfilter is for a small business (only about twenty e-mail accounts). However, they still need to reliably receive e-mails (hopefully with less spam though).
I have a server "test1" in domain [URL]. I installed sendmail on it. I have another mail server "mailsrv" installed in [URL] which is my primary mail server and contains all accounts and mailboxes. Now when I send email to [URL] from [URL] it sends successfully. But when I try to mail to user1@abc.com it tries to search user1 in [URL] but I want it to forward this mail to mailsrv.abc.com over SMTP port. Delivery will then be taken care by [URL]
My log shows following
Code: Apr 9 18:37:06 test1 sendmail[7512]: o39Db6Hs007512: to=user1@abc.com, ctladdr=root (0/0), delay=00:00:00, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=relay, pri=30047, relay=[127.0.0.1] [127.0.0.1], dsn=2.0.0, stat=Sent (o39Db6Il007513 Message accepted for delivery) It should not go to relay=[127.0.0.1], it should go to relay=[10.10.10.1]
Id like to ask you some advice. Im currently using as mail server Lotus Domino. Because of many reasons I need to create an SMTP server that receive the email from Dominothat relay those email into an authenticated SMTP on the internet. How can I do that? I create a Debian virtual machine and I installed Postfix. I edit the config file and set the relay host (authenticated SMTP on internet),the mtp_sasl_auth_enabled and smtp_sasl_password_maps parameters. If I try to send an email using that SMTP server I got a message that say âœRelay access denied, check the email address†What did I do wrong
Having my Diploma Final Project on setting up a virtual mail server within Local Area Network (LAN) only. I had follow this how-to [URL] and complete up to squirrealmail web mail. I added two new user to try on sending and receiving mail. It works. I run CentOS on VMplayer. I using my laptop to do all the stuff, the laptop default OS is windows 7, I install VM player on it and run CentOS inside the VM Player.
I want to do testing on Windows 7 side by installing Thunderbird email client program, I want to connect to mail server with SMTP, IMAP/POP3 using the email service. I have problem while setting up user account on Thunderbird, Thunderbird seems like cannot detect my CentOS mail server. How? Do I have to do any other configuration on CentOS? Any DNS? Port number for IMAP, POP3 or SMTP?
In my Windows environment, I use email client such as Microsoft Outlook to connect to our email server to send email with the following configuration:
Incoming server (POP3): 995 - (requires with SSL) Outgoing server (SMTP): 465 - (use encrypted connection SSL)
[code]....
And the mail server requires user ID login and password.how do I setup a text command based email client in my Linux (Centos 5.1) to send out email through the existing email server above, which is in another machine? The email client has to be text command based because I need to use command line to send notification email from anothar application installed in my Linux (Centos 5.1) Since the email client will only be used to send email notification, I don't require setting up of an email server in my linux.
I'm trying to set up a basic smtp server on my local computer that I can send basic, unencrypted email through on port 25. I installed postfix, and I chose the following options:
Internet Site, System Mail Name: localhost Root and postmaster mail recipient: I left this blank For other domains to accept mail, I entered : NONE, localhost No force synchronous mail updates Local networks: 127.0.0.0/8
I'm on a CentOS server and for the past hours I have been trying to unsuccessfully make a script that will start a binary and keep it running if anything goes wrong with it.
I want to be able to change the settings for my top down dual head display. Basically one monitor sits on top of another right now. How it was setup before was that they used to sit right next to each other so when you mouse over to the right it would go to the new screen. The problem is now when one sits on top of the other I want to be able to just mouse up instead of mousing over to the right. I don't want to use the gui to be able to do this. I want to find out what config file and specifically what setting in the config file would allow me to change this.
I'm rather (VERY) inexperienced when it comes to Linux, but Fedora 14 is the environment I have to use on my laptop at work, so please forgive any dumb that comes out of me.
How do I tell php to send an email with mail() using an external mail server?
The situation: I've got apache/php running a webserver on my local machine. It's for dev purposes only, and the website files I'm using are checked out from our SVN. This lets me make changes to our website while not actually changing our website.
I've come across an issue I'm fixing where I need to verify that an email is successfully getting sent out, and unfortunately, this email is sent out using php's mail(), and not our website's usual $mail object. Unfortunately, I don't have the authority to change how this sends out right now, just when it sends out.
I've been running everything fine on my machine for a month now, and haven't needed the mail stuff until now. How do I tell php to send an email using an external server?
I am working on linux server with below specifications.Linux EDT 2008 i686 i686 i386 GNU/LinuxWhile checking the status of the server using the command 'opmnctl status' and when server is down the output is not getting redirected to file.I m using the command as,opmnctl status > abc.txt.
I have a triboot windows suse 11.3 stable and suse 11.3 factory pc, I would like to share the browsers and email settings between the suse stable and factory, I succeed with thunderbird and firefox moving the /home/.thunderbird and /home/.mozilla in an ext3 shared partition and linking these in the respecive /homes, I found that there isn't a /home/.chromium folder, I found probably /usr/lib64/chromium could be the same as /home/.mozilla for firefox, but I don't know if is secure or can damage my system to move this in a ext3 partition and then link this to the respective /usr/lib64/chromium, /usr/lib64/chromium has root owner, root group, visible and modifiable for root and only visible for group and other.
In order to have greater control over the emails sent out the company I imagined the following scenario.ScenarioDescribing in words what I need.ser sends an email to user@hotmail.com for example, using the smtp of my isp (is the internet).Before the email is sent, the firewall checks if the recipient is blocked transparent, if you are locked out rejects the email.I searched several forums and mailing lists, but did not find scenarios similar to mine.Where found situations in which the mail servers were internally in the company, which is not my case.
I met some problems when I set my new smtp server to the msmtprc file. I work in the HKUST and the mail asks for TLS authentication, I do not know where the problem is, but when I test the smtp server like this
Code: echo "test mail of UST" | msmtp -a default myname@ust.hk It just says Code: msmtp: TLS handshake failed: The
I have nagios running fine on Linux. I would like my nagios system to forward all the emails to our internal SMTP gateway. How can I configure this? Is it necessary to run sendmail on linux to achieve this?
I'm trying to set up a tool that emails me periodically (in my case, psad). It allows by default to define just a destination email for reports. Is there a general way to get this or similar tools to use a non-default SMTP server, with TLS? (e.g. gmail's SMTP)
for like two weeks I have been trying to send email using evolution for some reason I always get the same Code: Could not connect to smtp.gmail.com: Input/output error
it may be a simple doubt i have but i really want to know this,in the httpd.conf file under the server root of apache server.they have instructed not to add a slash at the end when mentioning or giving the path for server root.I think both will still remain the same, then y is that mentioned that way?

Have someone used Linux heartbeat to send email when the Slave server becomes the Master? I've read I can configure the MailTo under.
But I really don't know how to do it. I basically need my primary server to send an email when it becomes inactive and all the activities are manage by the secondary node.

I'm using RHEL 5.4 and trying to use the system-config-kickstart to generate a ks.cfg file with all the settings already appeneded. After running the "system-config-kickstart --generate ks.cfg" command, the file gets created but it's missing the firewall configuration, partition information and so on.
How can these settings also be generated with the system-config-kickstart?

I'm building a new file/media server for my household to use, and would like to hear the experiences of others, and suggestions, or links to appropriate howto's. I'll be using two (2) 250 GB Western Digital RE4 drives mirrored via mdadm RAID 1 for the Operating System. The storage area will be handled by four (4) 500 GB Western Digital RE4 drives in a RAID 5 array, managed by an Areca 1210 controller.
What I'd like to configure is a basic Samba file server, on which we have individual user folders, and a shared drive. As well, I'd like to add the ability to manage our movie collection so it can be accessed by the Boxee Box attached to the television. Twonky looks promising (and I don't mind paying the $19.95 for something that works well). However, as this is new to me, there may be other solutions out there that are better, and easier to administer. Moving forward, I'd like to explore the feasibility of configuring LDAP on this machine to authenticate users on the network (perhaps even integrate the mail server somehow), and the remote users (only two) who VPN into the network using the pfSense firewall appliance. There are no Windows servers, so Active Directory is not a factor.
We have been struggling with a problem with the mysql-server package. This might be in the wrong category because our problems are with it on x86_64. Where the problem happens variables that should populate from the my.cnf don't, on other servers, they do, the my.cnf files are identical except for the server-id
The problem occurs on some of our machines but not others. All are using the mysql-server-5.0.45-7.el5.x86_64 The ones that work, when you connect with a client respond with server version 5.0.45-log source distribution The ones that don't work respond with 5.0.45 source distribution
It's unclear what the differences are between the two source versions and how we wind up with two different versions. One thing that might be involved, the mysql package is installed with both the i386 and x86_64
I'm using Sendmail 8.13.8 on a CentOS 5.5 vServer (Virtuozzo). I'm using a loop in PHP to send a lot of HTML-mails via sendmail. Each mail is a mail with individual statistics for our users, so its not mass mailing, bcc is not an option. It all works fine, but when I take a closer look there is a problem heading our way with a high number of mails: For each mail sendmail opens up 43 files. Sometimes these open files get closed again very fast, sometimes not.
Here is an example using the PHP-script below, it sends 20 mails in a loop: [root]# php test-mail.php START: number of open files: 2113 END: number of open files: 2973
This is the worst case. The number of open files (lsof | wc -l) used to send the 20 mails is 860 => 43 open files per mail. Sometimes the files are closed very fast, so I get results like this, too: [root]# php test-mail.php START: number of open files: 2113 END: number of open files: 2242
This shows 129 (3 * 43) open files, so the open files for 17 send mails are already closed, for 3 mails the 129 files are still open. In the worst case and with lots of mails our server crashes, the numfile limit of 8192 in user_beancounters is reached (our ISP won't give us more than 8192). Sendmail DeliveryMode is background. Could it be that sendmail tries to send lots ob mails asynchronously and uses 43 open files for each?
I'm only depending on sendmail to deliver the mails, normally I wouldn't dare to touch the sendmail config (like 'if you don't know what you're doing, don't!'). It is not a problem of PHP. I verified this by sending mails via SMTP localhost to sendmail (opened 43 files per mail) and sending mails via SMTP to an ISP-relay (did not open any files per mail). This is the code for test-mail.php:
PHP Code: <?php $output = shell_exec('lsof | wc -l'); echo "START: number of open files: $output"; // HTML message $msg = '<html><head><title>Test mail</title></head><body><p>Mailbody</p></body></html>'; // Set 'Content-type'-header $header = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . " "; $header .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . " "; for($i=0; $i<20; $i++) { // send mail, this opens up 43 files for each mail('you@yourdomain.com', 'Testmail '.$i, $msg, $header, '-f [email]bounce@yourdomain.com[/email]'); } $output = shell_exec('lsof | wc -l'); echo "END: number of open files: $output"; ?>
I'm not trying to setup a email server. ;) Firewall is set to disabled. SELinux is set to disabled.. How can i configure (which file?) the server to be able to send email out? When I try "mail -s testmail myemail@[URL]" and enter some text and then CTRL+D.. and return, I get command prompt again..
