I'm using ubuntu, not seeing any errors within the logs so I'm looking for some advice on why MailScanner is starting postfix? (i.e. if both are stopped, I should only need to start MailScanner instead of both applications, correct?)
Looking through the MailScanner.conf I so see this section code...
i already installed mailscanner and other component as well as. the problem is when i log to mailwatch gui, mailscanner and postfix status show no.--it's should be show yes ..
how to overcome that or enable that problem?
how to setting mailscanner using postfix should the mail will filter first before pass to mailserver.
anybody have configuration file that's work well on setting mailscanner using postfix?
We are running MailScanner 4.83.4-1 on a CentOS 5.6 64-bit distribution. The status of MailScanner was checked hourly via the check_mailscanner script, and normally the e-mailed result was:

Which indicated the process was running without issue.
The server in question sits outside the company firewall, and was configured to deliver e-mail messages directly to their intended recipients. Our company recently changed its policy concerning external e-mail servers to require them to send their e-mails to their destinations via an e-mail gateway server. Consequently, the server was reconfigured to relay its messages to the gateway, and is no longer delivering messages directly to their recipients.
When the change was made, I noticed the check_mailscanner script was sending a new message which read as follows:

I have tried starting and restarting the MailScanner software via the /etc/init.d/MailScanner script. The output of the script seems to indicate that MailScanner starts, but a subsequent check for the application via the ps -ef |grep MailScanner command shows the command is not running.
I checked the /var/log/maillog file for any reference to this when I did the restart of MailScanner, and the excerpt shown below coincides with the time that I ran the script:

My MailScanner running on CentOs is blocking docx files, saying "The original e-mail attachment "****.docx" is on the list of unacceptable attachments for this site and has been replaced by this warning message.
I've tried adding it the list of allowed files:
/etc/MailScanner/filename.rules.conf:
allow .docx$ - -
but it still blocks them.
I've also tried manually coping the message file from the /var/spool/MailScanner quarantine/ directory into /var/spool/postfix/incoming
but this did not result in the mail being delivered.
I desperately need these mails released, and docx files to be allowed unconditionally. Anyone know why the above isn't working? Failing that, can all file blocking be turned off? I'd rather have virus relayed than legitimate mails blocked.
i have a postfix mail server in my office and mailscanner. recently i changed the password of mailscanner's admin login 'mailwatch' and now i m unable to get login in postfixmail scanner. even i changed the password of mailwatch user from mysql database, bt it does not work. get login into mailscanner to chk the mails of all users.

I for some reason can't get Cyrus-sasl to work completely. I have to manually start it via saslauthd -a show if I let it start up itself or do a service saslauthd start or restart testsaslauthd will fail. I need help getting this fixed. I tried setting /etc/sysconfig/saslauthd to shadow instead of Pam but still no luck. Also when I try to login my postfix server I get an error stating that my username or password is incorrect even though it is right and I can receive mail from dovecot.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have Postfix and Spamassassin setup on Ubuntu Server 9.10. The mail is working perfectly. Spamassassin is correctly marking messages as spam. My problem is with the milter and procmail. On past servers I was able to reject spam based on score via the spamass-milter. For whatever reason I can not get it to work. I have also tried with procmail, again, it does not work. Here are the relative lines in their respective config files:

When I type nautilus in shell and run, the nautilus doesn't start.
while I use Alt-F2 and then type nautilus, the nautilus start.
why?
I'm running a server with Ubuntu 10.04 and I have installed postfix and courier. The server can recieve mail and I can fetch them using POP, but when I try to send mail it doesn't work. Postfix itself can send email if i telnet from localhost and I am using my ISP as a relay because they block port 25. I'm using outlook 2007 on my client computer and it just says that the server rejects the login attempt and tells me to check my username and password. Postfix listens on port 12 as well because the client connection also has outgoing on port 25 blocked. I have tried to use telnet to connect to the server, and I can connect. This is what I get:

Now what? I've tried searching for the answer but all I can come up with is AUTH PLAIN or AUTH LOGIN, but I don't know what to type after that.
I got a request today from someone on the software development team that reads as follows: Quote: According to RFC 4409 client mail submission to an email server is supposed to use port 587. Server to server SMTP relays are to use port 25. When I am not on site, I can't email via my work account via my iPhone or my residential internet because my ISP(s) filter port 25 to only allow traffic to and from their mail servers. They do however allow 587 anywhere per RFC 4409. Just to send this email I am having to relay off my own server in California. get the proper ports opened on the mail server? [URL] So my question now is I'm wondering if my Postfix server isn't properly configured? Right now it's listening on the following ports:

View 1 Replies View Relatedso i set out to change the default smtp port the server uses because my ISP blocks port 25 and i need the email to work in outlook. this morning i could receive email, but not send it. so i did some research and thought that i needed to edit the master.cf file in /etc/postfix/ by commenting out this line: smtp inet n - n - - smtpd -oand replace it with587 inet n - n - - smtpd (587 being the port i want to use)somewhere along the lines postfix server stopped running and now i cannot get it to start.if i try using SSH it crashes immediately and if i restart it in simple control panel nothing happens
View 7 Replies View RelatedI recently moved over user from an old box running postfix(v 2.0.16) over to rhel 6 running postfix (v mail_version = 2.6.6). ive tried to make sure all the files are of correct permissions and that the main.cf file is configured corectly. However there is something wrong as when i run postfix: service postfix server i get no error but when checking the status:service postfix status i get: master dead but pid file exists Looking into /var/log/mailog i find this line being the issue:
Feb 25 16:24:39 puny1 postfix/master[3517]: fatal: fifo_listen: create fifo public/pickup: Permission denied
I gather this is a file permission issue and ive tried to make sure the public folder in /var/spool/postfix is correctly set but still no avail.
I was trying to write a graph plotting program with c++. I need to convert the infix expression from user to postfix expression for quick evaluation. However, the evaluation of postfix is kind of interpreted, and thus kind of slow for evaluating huge number of values. Say if I plot an implicit function the penalty is quite huge. Is there a way that I can compile the infix expression from my running graph plotting application for high speed evaluation.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have isntalled a server with Centos 5.2 OS, now I would like to switch from the default sendmail to postfix doing a yum install postfix I've noticed there is already available an rpm version for the OS but I would like to compile my own 2.5 version, I've noticed compiling from source does not allow me to use the mail switcher to tell to the system I'm gonna use Postfix instead of Sendmail as the default MTA while this is possible when I use the "official" rpm version of the package. Now my question is this, would this be a problem? There is some specific procedure/best practice I should follow? Or once compiled and configured Postfix I can safely disable/uninstall sendmail?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI installed OS11.4 on my old laptop, Compaq Armada E500., 512MB RAM, ATI Rage Mobility. During installation I chose "minimal server" and added some development packages, lxde and a little more. I chose to start in runlevel 3 which is full networking without X. Still, when computer is booted it tries to start Xorg which doesn't work because of some problem w driver. The start-up seems to stop there, it never loads completely - seems most things in runlevel 3 are not started (see below) I can manually login on laptop and fix it - but never permanently, same thing again after reboot.
I have checked /etc/inittab & yast - both states default runlevel is 3. I have checked services to be started both directly, browsing directory /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/, and with YaST, it is very clear X should not load during boot. But, as said, it does.. I don't really care about the driver problem right now, I can fix that later when I have more time. So how do I stop X from getting started automatically?
More info, if needed: The installation also stopped with message on tty1 "Starting YaST2" and tty8 showing errors with graphics driver (mach64). The system seemed to be installed though, so I simply rebooted (issuing "reboot" from tty2).
[Code]....
I'm not completely sure where it stops, network is configured but keyboard is wrong and mysql & everything after is not started, so somewhere between S02network and S06kbd. I'm going to use it as a server for testing purposes so no X is actually needed - however I do want to have X & lxde installed just in case, my Internet connection at home is terribly slow so I need most things I might need in the future installed today.
I am trying to install postfix but i'm having problems I run this command
sudo apt-get install postfix
and it downloads, does something else and in the terminal window I see a list of options and OK at the bottom. The problem is becuase it opens in a terminal window, i can't select an option. It is like a picture and nothing else. I've read loads of instructions and they all say to choose an option but i haven't got a choice. How can i get postfix to install so i can make a selection? Would it be worth using Synaptics and if so what packages do i download? Just noticed, the package configuration screen is nothing like i've seen on other sites with how-tos. The screen I get shows a description and there is no cancel option.
