Running exim4 on debian and trying to forward all emails destined for root@mydomain.com to me@mydomain.com, I did setup the entry in the /etc/alias file in the following way:
root: me@mydomain.com
run newaliases restart exim "although not needed if I am not mistaken"
then on command line mail root@mydomain.com and the email still goes out for root@Mydomain.com and not me@mydomain.com I am using a smarthost, and that smarthost refuses to serve emails going for root@. I am OK with that as I should be able to easily rewrite those message to go to me@mydomain.com
But it is simply not working, anything I might have missed here ?
I have a server on CentOS 5.And I would like to set up an automatic forward so that every incoming message of a specified user gets forwarded to a specified email (my gmail account).In your opinion, what is the simplest solution ?
I recently P2V'd a debian box, and the aliases file (/etc/aliases) is no longer working. As the physical machine is still working, this machien has been renamed to buzz1 [from buzz].
I changed /etc/mailname, /etc/exim4/update-exim4.conf.conf [and ran the update-exim4.conf script] and also ran newaliases. however it still does not seem to be applying the aliases file:
Live Physical Machine: buzz:~# exim -bt root@buzz.domain.com R: system_aliases for root@buzz.domain.com R: smarthost for cronjobs@domain.com cronjobs@domain.com <-- root@buzz.domain.com
I installed Ubuntu 10.04 on my systems. In the file browser or any internet browser, if I click on back, forward or up, nothing happens. I stays on the current page/location. Even if goes back, sometimes, it again comes back automatically to current page/location. I can navigate using keyboard but not with mouse.
I am trying to use sed command to repalce one string with other but somehow replacement string contains forwards slash hence getting the error statement garbled!
I am "fleshing out" my USB flash drive Netbook Remix of Ubuntu and have run into a snag on getting Mplayer Movie Encoder to work. Synaptics eventually showed 28 new packages will be installed which was done. But, the skin showing the "controls" (fast forward, pause etc) is dead. I am using the USB flash on a HP desktop and all other Remix features work well. Plus the Nvidea gui card fills my 19" flat screen exquisitely well. And, the stick works very nicely on my Acer Netbook (aspire one 250) too.
I am trying to get the forward and back buttons on my Logitech Surface mouse working in openSUSE 11.2 running as a guest in VMware Workstation 7 on a Win7 x64 Pro host. I have read many places about editing the xorg.conf file and have done so successfully under Ubuntu in the past. I have successfully installed VMware Tools and everything is working as expected except the side buttons on the mouse. I have no current xorg.conf file
I'm running a Squeeze minimal install. I don't need exim4, which got installed with the base net-install (I think). So I did
#apt-get remove exim4
and it said it had done it. However, recently I noticed during bootup that there was a line that said "Starting MTA: exim4". Then, another time I did apt-get update and apt-get upgrade, and it wanted to upgrade three exim4 packages. So I thought "Hmm- exim4 must have come back." However, apt-get remove exim4 gets a "It ain't installed" (or words to that effect) response. "Find exim4" gets a list of about 40 files, including /usr/sbin/exim4, /usr/lib/exim4/ /usr/share/exim4, /etc/init.d/exim4, and a whole raft of config and man files. I've done apt-get purge exim4, and I'm now at my wits end- what on earth is going on? Can't apt-get do it? Might Aptitude (never used it) do it? (Don't have Synaptic installed- I try to keep as minmal as possible, it's an old machine.)
Having never used it, I did an apt-get remove --purge exim4this morning. Deborphan doesn't show any orphaned packages. But, I see a 44K file lingers as per below.

(Desktop with Debian sid) How do I configure Exim4 to send local mail locally and other mail through my ISP? I just did dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config and none of the choices seemed to give me the answer. I have a lot of frozen email addressed to: root@<My_ISP_SMTP_URL>. I also don't know what happens to regular email sent from Mutt. I have no problem sending email through my laptop on the same LAN.
Linux [URL] 2.6.26-2-686 #1 SMP Wed Feb 10 08:59:21 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux Currently I have exim4 configured to use my mail server as a relay to send php emails. Though I don�t think I want this setup. My goal is to be able to track emails sent out to make sure that nothing happened and they got bounced back. I need to be able to find the emails that are bounced.
If I configure exim4 to send emails from the current (apache2 / php) server any emails that bounce will end up there, correct? We have clients that are expecting emails and are complaining they do not always get them so something is not 100% configured correctly. I am going to re-run #dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config
I've installed it properly until it works now, it does send emails and receive them, but heres the problem.
1) it does not send emails to a certain domain, unless i do dpkg-reconfigure on exim4 and put the domain on allowed relay... can't i just put something on settings which allow to send emails to ALL domains?
2) EVERYONE can connect to the server by telnet from any position, terminal or pc, and just use an existing user to send emails to anyone.... example, i have testuser123 setted up in debian/exim4 .. then they simply write "mail from:testuser123@host.dot" and the server accepts it.. without even request an authentication for that. And this is a problem, because everyone can use my email addresses to send emails to whoever.. heaven for spammers/hackers..
I'm trying to set up a *simple* MTA in my local network. The only thing it should be able to do is send system / daemon mails to admin@mylocaldomain. but at the moment I'm pretty much overwhelmed by everything i *should* know in order to set up this MTA
I configured exim to be in "internet"-mode. now i have a variety of errors I can choose from (and a variety of solutions that i don't like ).. my test is always an email from test01.mylocaldomain:
echo "Hello World" | mail -s Testmail admin@mylocaldomain
- after running the config, i get the error: admin@mylocaldomain: all relevant MX records point to non-existent hosts --> google says, edit and udpate update-exim4.conf.conf --> dc_relay_domains='mylocaldomain' --> but this exim installation should not be a relay at all. it should only be able to SEND (to this domain), not deliver it. or do i get something wrong?
- after i added dc_relay_domains='mylocaldomain', i get --> SMTP error from remote mail server after RCPT TO:<admin@mylocaldomain>: host mail.mylocaldomain [192.168.x.x]: 550 5.1.1 <root@mylocaldomain>: Sender address rejected: User unknown in virtual mailbox table --> but i don't want to create an account on the mailserver for the SENDER...
- ...so i thought, i'd config exim with the domain "test01.mylocaldomain" (including the server name), so that the sender is clearly from another domain than the mail server handles (e.g. user@test01.mylocaldomain).. but then i get this --> SMTP error from remote mail server after RCPT TO:<admin@mylocaldomain>: host mail.mylocaldomain [192.168.x.x]: 450 4.1.8 <root@test01.mylocaldomain>: Sender address rejected: Domain not found
I really just wanna send mails in my local network.
I've recently had to rebuild our mail server - after the old one over heated - and I've realised I never backed up the config files for exim... so now tyring to work out how the hell to configure what I had....
The setup isn't the most straight forward, so I'll try and explain what happens...
- all emails @longdomain.com are received by an hosted server on the internet - they are then forwarded to @shortdomain.com, the IP for which is our internet connection which fowards port 25 traffic to the exim server - the exim server then spam and virus checks the emails and forwards them to an exchange server (sorry but it works well for us)....
I've installed exim4/spamassassin/clamav successfully, and it's setup to receive emails for the relevant domains and relay from the hosted server on the internet (and some local addresses).
how I then setup exim4 to foward all emails on the relevant domains to the exchange server?
My debian server has been attacked due to a security breach in exim4 4.69-9 (probably applies to loads of other versions too). The security breach allows the attacker to get root access by creating a buffer overflow in a header which then can be used to inject code.
[URL]
The securtiy breach is fixed with 4.69-9+lenny1 I want to share my actions with you on what I did to (hopefully) get rid of it. However at the time of writing this, the above website is down due to too much load (DDOS Attack?). How you can check if you've been attacked:
The attack creates a buffer overflow in exim4, which results in paniclog entries.
$ cat /var/log/exim4/paniclog 2010-12-17 07:34:11 string too large in xxxyyy() 2010-12-19 10:42:10 string too large in xxxyyy()
this would be an example of two attacks. One on 2010-12-17 and the other two days later 2010-12-19.with this information you can start find potentially infected files. There may be a better way, but I searched for them with this command:
$ find / -mtime 31 2>/dev/null # files,directories,links created 31 days ago (i.e. 2010-12-17)
My ISP recently decided to kill outbound traffic on port 25 for some reason. Therefore, I change the SMTP port to 24, everything work fine so far i can send email to local domain and remote. However, i cannot receive Emails from remote domain. i try use online "mail server test services" and all i got is timeout.
I'm more of a CentOS person, but after some issues on my new box I switched to Ubuntu server. I am working on getting it setup as a mail server (mainly for testing at the moment and soon be live). I performed apt-get install sendmail then apt-get install exim4 and got the message:Could not perform immediate configuration on 'exim4-daemon-light'. Please see man 5 apt.conf under APT:: Immediate-Configure for details. I have Ubuntu Server 10.10 32-bit on a Dell Intel Poweredge.
I installed exim4 package on my debian server as MTA. Now I want to send mail with this by SMTP. But when I connect to this via telnet, it returns this banner:
I set up an exim4 server successfully and was able to send/receive mail! I fired off a couple emails to my friend and never got a response. Oh well, I thought, must be because my domain name might be considered spam.Flash forward to today and I get an email from the people who host my server, telling me that I have left my exim4 relay open. Looking through some of my users' email, I see a series of messages with the subject 'Message frozen':
Code: Message 1QCCQJ-0004FP-OY has been frozen (delivery error message). The sender is <>.
2 round robin dns servers x.x.x.1 mydomain.com (hostname) x.x.x.2 mydomain.com (hostname)
My problem is that when I try and send an email that is part of the domain, it ends up trying to deliver it locally. I realize it is supposed to, but I don't want that for non-users of the server.
I want to be able to deliver certain emails []@mydomain.com remotely. (info@mydomain.com)
exim4 setup "internet site; mail is sent and received directly using SMTP". This works well as long as it is not an email from mydomain.com.
Is there a way to have exim check the users first and then deliver based on local user or not?
Next question. Is having the domain name as the hostname the best way to setup a round robin? (web server)
I have a ubuntu server 9.10 installed with exim4 as MTA. I configured a mail address on it (let's say me@example.com). Before i had it working i had a other email configured (let's say me_2@example.com). At the time i had this one it didn't work i removed exim4.
Now i can successfully send mails with it by the configured me@example.com. I also configured the password for this, but when i receive the mail the old configured mail is presented as "from" (so from: me_2@example.com).
Anyone knows how this can be changed so it says the mail is from me@example.com? The mail is not an alias, and in a mail client they work separately.
