Software :: Domain Alias Email And Actual Forwards In Postfix?
Jul 6, 2010
I want two alias functionality:
1. when a mail is sent to an account; if it has a forwarder set; it should forward a copy of email to the mentioned email address.
2. all the emails sent to a domain alias should be automatically forwarded to the respective email account in the main domain.
eg for 1. xyz@abc.com => hfg@gmail.com
eg for 2. xyz@alias.com => xyz@maindomain.com
We have a database that stores the mailboxes as we have our own control panel. I can get only one working at a time. I have the mysql query in the .cf file and mentioned it in the main.cf as 'virtual_alias_maps' but i need both to work not just one at a time.
I moved the catch-all mapping to the bottom of the virtual_alias_maps hash, and I realized my problem description wasn't accurate. All mail is going to user1. The header tells me it's going to user2 or user3, but everything is delivered to user1. postfix 2.5.5 fc8 /etc/postfix/virtual:
Code:
me@domain2.com user2 another@domain2.com user3
[code]....
my catch-all for [URL]t is working ok. however, everything sent to [URL] is delivered to user2 (local). i am expecting [URL] mail to be delivered to user3 (also local)
I have a website sitting on my private server (CentOS 5x) running plesk 9.2.2. There is a form for customers to fill out and when they press send it sends the data to a specified email address and a BCC if desired (email address present in BCC Field) and and response to the person submitting the form. The problem I am having is everyone gets their email after the submit button is pressed except the person listed in the TO field. Below is the output from postconf -n and below that is the maillog
I've setup postfix using mysql tables and all works except for sending to an alias. The mysql logs show that postfix is only looking at the mailbox table for where to deliver the mail for the alias. However it is not looking in the virtual alias maps table. There are no complaints from postfix on startup to indicate that there is anything wrong, and if I send to a virtual domain listed as a relay on the server it does look up the virtual alias table... even though the domain is not hosted on the server....
So the question I have is where to look next? The mysql log shows the expected lookups from postfix EXCEPT for the virtual alias map queries.... why would it not be checking the table? Since it is not looking up the virtual alias it bounces the addresses back to sender complaining that the user doesn't exist... It does deliver to a virtal mailbox, however again it never checks the vitual alias table.... so it only delivers since there's a mailbox for it rather than needing an alias...
I am trying to configure virtual alias using regular expression.
For example :
Email send to user.1@example.com and user.2@example.com will deliver to user mailbox.
Email send to user2.1@example.com and user2.2@example.com will deliver to user2 mailbox.
And the numbers or alphabet in between user name and the domain will be vary , I can't just do a normal alias.
I been try to play around with main.cf and the virtual alias table but still not able to get work. So I am not sure is the main.cf didnt configure correctly or the regular expression is not working.
Im pretty sure this is trivial to config, but I havent had any luck searching on google.My situation is: I want to forward any emails sent to my domain to another account. So:
After a reboot of my VPS, I keep getting the following error when sending email to my domain (hosted on Google Email). I can send to other email addresses but my own. So it seems like postfix thinks all mydomain.co.nz is to be sent internally?
I am thinking about buying a domain name and hosting my web server.
I have seen pricing from $8 to $30 a year. Any favorites from fellow ubunters? Also this whole "whois" thing scares me, if I am correct my information I enter when buying the domain is enter into some big pool of information. People can find this information out and dig up important information. url Can I prevent this with private Whois or how do I set it up? This website examples some of my fears with this whole WhoIs thing, url whois/Private-Whois.html Does most/all domain registers come with email or just email forwarding or both? How does that work? At this moment, my only question about Web Hosting is how do I get Website Statistics as in: Stats, web analytics, web traffic stats and more? I will be web hosting through Ubuntu 9.10 gnome.
I'm trying to figure out how to access the local part and the domain part of an email address in postfix's main.cf. For example, myname@mydomain.net has myname as the local part and mydomain.net as the domain part.I get the whole email address with %s. I want to speed up the lookups by writing better database queries.I've had no luck finding this in the otherwise well documented postfix.
I set up a mailserver using this tutorial:[URL].. It works fine so far. I run this server for a small company with about 20 mailboxes where a address looks like that.[URL].. Now I want to set up an alias domain so that [URL].. also automatically is directed into the mailbox of "user".
I have an email setup where all of the emails from our email host is downloaded to our Linux server using Fetchmail. Then some of the incoming emails are sent to an MS exchange server (server1.domain.com) using Postfix. What i want to do is to send a copy of all emails to Another server (server2.domain.com) for redundancy.Can postfix be configured to send copies out to both?
I setup a virtual server with these configurations:
1. Mail server: POSTFIX / DOVECOT 2. Webmin / Virtualmin
I am getting email to desired folders locally but I am not getting email from outside to desired users. Emails are bounced back with message "Address not found in virtual alias table".
Recent log errors are:
Sep 8 04:25:49 server1 postfix/smtpd[28002]: cannot load Certificate Authority data Sep 8 04:25:49 server1 postfix/smtpd[28002]: warning: TLS library problem: 28002:error:02001002:system library:fopen:No such file or directory:bss_file.c:122:fopen('/etc/pki/postfix/root.crt','r'):
my mail server [URL] is hosted abc@[URL] is a pop id below are alias:

fetchmail is configured to download all mail for alias email id on local linux server and distribute to local users.
fetchmailrc config: [Code]....
everything works fine except bcc copy is not getting delivered to email alias (at local linux server). It is delivered to local postmaster account :abc@[URL] (in Linux server) I have tried all envelope option in fetchmailrc file, but it did not work.
I have a postfix relay running in RHEL 5. It serves as an SMTP server. Mail traffic is delivers to the exchange server/Active directory system that is handled by another admin. So far postfix serves [URL] I am asked if it's possible to configure the same server to relay inbound and outbound email for the domain [URL]
I have a mail server up and running sending and receiving mails with one primary(dom1) and a virtual domain(dom2). My problem is that i get the header anyUserOfDom2 at dom1.tld when i receive mail on my gmail account which i sent myself from user at dom2.tld . So the part after the at sign should be dom2.tld but i get dom1.tld so people can't send replies.
I'm configuring a postfix server for the company I work for and have a question about limiting access by IP address.
First off, we're not using this for SPAM. We're a manufacturing/direct marketing company and will use the email server to contact our salespeople. We do not send UCE. That said, we have had problems in the past with our legitimate email being labeled as spam by a few carriers. This email server is being setup specifically to avoid future problems on that type.
Because of the nature of our business we operate several domains. We want to be able to limit outbound email for a given domain to a single IP Address. For example, say we have have 3 domains - a.com, b.com and c.com - and 3 IP addresses - 1.2.3.1, 1.2.3.2 and 1.2.3.3. We want to set things up so that a.com can only send out email on 1.2.3.1, b.com can only send out email on 1.2.3.2 and c.com can only send out email on 1.2.3.3.
My first impulse is to set these up as virtual domains on the Postfix server but I'm not sure that's the best method. Are there alternatives? What are your recommendations for doing this?
I have a slackware machine which has preinstalled the sendmail mail server. For this machine I have given a domain name (I have a static IP), so I'm able to administer my email through the UI of webmin, i.e. I can send and receive emails.
However I would like to use it only as an email server, i.e. what I would like to do is Conecting to it, by using an email client (e.g. Thundirbird) in order to receive and send emails Conecting to it from a web server so a to send new posts etc.
By searching around I found that in order to test the mail server from outside you can use the following series of commands:
Currently i'm figuring out how to send email notifications to users when services went down in Nagios. I know i need to install and configure Postfix, which i did already. I assume that when i configured to point it to "Satellite mail system" is the correct one instead of other things like "Internet.." etc. So the configurations is when you have installed the Postfix and there would pop a lot of questions right? Other than that, what have i missed?
Oh ya, i remember something. Hmm. I do not have any so-called real smtp server so would that be alright? I heard that installed and getting the Postfix running would be enough as it serves as a MTA (mail transfer agent). So if i do not have any smtp server, the relay host= ' ' what should i put it as?
I am trying unsuccessfully to have a more permanent fix so I can receive emails from an invalid domain. The message is 'Sender address rejected: Domain not found' in the postfix mail logs. Fair enough, there may be an A record or MX record problem there, but there is nothing I can do about this with the Sender at present. Mail *will* come through from the invalid domain if I delete
Code:
reject_unknown_sender_domain
from the list at: smtpd_recipient_restrictions in /etc/postfix/main.cf (see coded area below for full list). I have added the Domain in question as an 'OK', both by name and by IP address, to: /etc/postfix/recipient_access, then used postmap to successfully create the database which appears as: recipient_access.db
ie recipient_access (not recipient_access.db) has contents: invalid-domain-name.com OK ; the space betw is a tab space 123.456.789.012OK ; the space betw is a tab space I suspect the failure is something to do with postmap and the recipient_access.db database file created by postmap, but just cannot work this out. Running: postconf -d indicates that the hash format is the default database format
As indicated below,
Code:
check_recipient_access hash:/etc/postfix/recipient_access is listed up front in smtpd_recipient_restrictions Postfix was restarted on all occassions Everything above was done as root and permissions on the .db files are the same as other files in /etc/postfix
I am looking at setting up a multiple postfix SMTP servers for a single domain. Below is my requirement, I would appreciate if someone out there could guide me to achieve this using postfix..
1. Want to setup 2 postfix SMTP Server with 1 POP3 Server.
2. Server1 will host POP3 & SMTP services for domain "metallica.one".(IP: 1.1.1.1, MX: mx1.metallica.one)
3. Server2 will host only SMTP services for domain "metallica.one" (IP: 1.1.1.2, MX: mx2.metallica.one)
4. Server1 & Server2 will be used as load balancing for sending mails. (either manual settings in email client, or auto-loadbalancing is still preferred).
5. Mail received for domain metallica.one on Server2 should be pushed/forwarded/relayed to Server1 where POP3 services are running.
6. Outgoing mails for other domains from Server2 should be sent directly to the other-domain-recipients without relaying to Server1.
easier way to forward email, in postfix, from a user to one domain for the user without listing every domain and user name? Example:send all of user joe's email to joe@somewhere, in which there are mulitple domains other than "somewhere".
Usual Given Example- /etc/postfix/virtual: joe@example.com joe@somewhere jane@example.com jane@somewhere-else
[code]....
I'm looking for an easier way to forward email, verses having (ex) 50 different lines for 5 users and 10 domains.
I am trying to setup a simple SMTP server to relay scanned documents from a Xerox machine to email addresses. Unfortunately the Xerox machine doesn't support TSL or SSL so sending mail over port 25 on gets blocked. I have setup postfix on a desktop running Fedora 13 and have been able to set it up to forward the mail onto the correct server (gmail for example). My question is, how do I get the server to encrypt the emails (scanned documents) when sending them over the internet?
I have tried adding:
Code: smtpd_use_tls = yes smtpd_tls_cert_file = /etc/postfix/smtpd.cert smtpd_tls_key_file = /etc/postfix/smtpd.key But when I look at the wireshark capture of the sending I can read my test message in plain text.
I have a server with an sms-terminal attached. There I use "gnokii" to send sms. Now I'm searching for a solution with postfix or something else to receive an email and resend the subject of this email as an sms with gnokii. I have already searched a lot. I found that I have to create a special "sms"-user and a .procmail / .forward-file. But I had no success with this solutions.
tell postfix to send email sent to one email address to another email address. What I really need to do is tell postfix that every email sent to [URL] and [URL] be sent to [URL] I tried transport maps like this: [URL] but that did not work. I then tried canonical maps like this:
but it did not work either. I am really exhausted and I need to find a solution for this one since it is my boss asking me to get this working. This is what if in /var/log/mail in box1:
Dec 28 16:10:25 box1 postfix/pickup[19291]: 54D258F726: uid=0 from=<root> Dec 28 16:10:25 box1 postfix/cleanup[23489]: 54D258F726: message-id=<4D1A5241.mailIBZ11LRR6@box1.thisdomain.com>
I don't have idea how could I create a script that will forward my email from postfix to a script automatically to sms gateway right now I can receive a mail from solarwinds and I'm done configuring my kannel sms gateway .Could anyway help me how could I send my email-> sms automatically using script?
recently i was raised my question about external and internal emailing using one domain name.Now i have another question about restriction.I can able to set email account and permit only local and external
now my question this kind of setup external and internal one thing i've noticed is that using prinzz1@domain.com(local only) was able to receive email from outside.is it possible to block all outside email if the prinzz1@domain.com is local only?
