Ubuntu :: Get Email From /var/spool On Its Account?
Jan 14, 2010
Does anyone know a way (the simple the better) to receive all the email that can be found in /var/spool/mail/user to a yahoo or gmail account?
i mean, instead of login to the server and read the messages from /var/spool/root, it will be a lot easyear and faster to found about them, if they will be sent to my email account
i know i can make the cron output be sent by email, if i place in front of the cron line something like :
MAILTO="email@something.com"
but in /var/spool/mail/ for root or other usernames you can found many other messages.
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:
I have like 4 email addresses on one Ubuntu One account and I'd like to remove them all except my current email... I also have an old account I'd like to delete. I used the contact form but to no avail.
I'm running Ubuntu 10.10 Netbook edition on my Asus EEEPC and cannot add a new email account to Evolution. I'm using Evolution 2.30.3, and whenever I open "preferences" the window extends below the bottom of my screen. I'm unable to resize or move the window in order to select any of the options below the bottom.I'm sure there is a simple technique to fix this, but it is beyond this newb.
I have several Yahoo e-mail accounts that serve different purposes (private, work, projects, etc.). I'd like to monitor all of them without having to log in and out of each. Is there a program available for Ubuntu Desktop that does this? Gwibber already does it with my Facebook and Twitter.
I wanted to try out new Ubuntu 11 and while doing it I managed to connect to facebook, twitter, all my chat accounts and MY EMAIL via Evolution. Everything went well until I restarted and went back to my lovely Karmic to log in into the email account and find all messages GONE!
I use evolution 2.26.1 on my jaunty machine. I have a couple of gmail accounts, and use pop3 to have that mail sent to evolution on my computer. All was fine until a few days ago. Then I noticed that I was no longer getting mail from my freecycle account sent to my machine. I went to the gmail web interface and saw that freecycle mail is still being sent to me. But gmail isn't passing it along to my evolution. The odd thing is, other mail from that gmail account *is* reaching evolution okay.
I created email account with commands "adduser -s /sbin/nologin test; passwd test";Is there any way to grant permission to user "test" to change his password by himself? My system is CentOS 4.4.
I have a shared email account few people are having access to it, Exactly I don't know how many people. Is there any way to find out how many people are accessing my email account? My server is Centos 5 and I am using IMAP. mail agent Postfix
I had configured a gmail account in evolution and used it successfully until recently when after a restart evolution asks me again to configure an email (Evolution setup assistant wizard) again.I already have my email configured but something must be preventing evolution to find my email account. What can I do to recover all that?My .evolution/mail folder still has all the data for example (got there some hundreds MB still). and I also have there other folders: addressbook, calendar..etc
i am working on a neat little bash script, and i want the output to be mailed to my email account. So far i have tried installing sendmail then running: mail -s Test myemail@gmail.com But that hasn't worked; and i did check my spam folder. Am i missing something or is there a better technique all together?
I've successfully set-up Drupal on my machine on a local network and have no problem accessing it with the virtual host names defined in /etc/hosts, but I don't have bind or any other DNS set-up.I've installed Postfix and can sent email with the mail command to unix account, and I can also read them with the mail command( from the command line).Now, my problem is with not being able to use the local Unix email accounts in drupal. Particularly, I would like to have one of the unix account receive email for the development site.I might like to also have various user on the drupal installation, and then test sending notifications to them.here is my /etc/postfix/main.cf# See /usr/share/postfix/main.cf.dist for a commented, more complete version
I am new to linux. I have a server with suse and I want to add a new email account. The server is already installed and configured as a mail server. Problem is that I don't know what mail service is running and how to find out. I know only is POP....
I have a hostname with dyndns and I was wondering if there where a way to make a mail server that works for all my user accounts with the hostname that dyndns gives for free.
I've a mail server(Postfix) running on Slackware linux 12.1 . I need to configure a control panel so that one can create/delete/modify an email account as well as manage email alias.
We have a new test trigger that fires on an insert to a table. If the person has a personal email address on file, we want to send the notice to this email address. The trigger works fine if we send the email to an internal email account inside the firewall, but when we try to direct the message to an outside email account it fails. We are running Oracle 10.2.0.4.
We have tried to identify the mail server and port and allow messages from the Linux server (RHEL 4.2 x86-64), but we must be missing something. What steps are needed to accomplish this on Exchange 2003?
I've been trying to send mail to email account even after installing postfix but am not able to do so.My distro is Centos 5.4. I followed the Centos user guide to install and configure postfix into the server,
Code: http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/postfix but still didn't receive any email.
An email was sent to my imap account 2 weeks ago. I just discovered that it's still sitting there unopened but for some reason Evolution doesn't retrieve it.I know it's still there because I can ssh in and run pine -- and there it is, still marked "N" in the INBOX.Evolution has been retrieving all my other emails with no apparent problems. Is there any way that I can "force" it to get this item, and do you have any idea as to why one particular email is being excluded when Evolution does Send/Receive?
Is it possible to send an email to abc123@gmail.com directly from Console? If it is possible, do I need to do some 'configuration stuff' to get it to work? How do I start it?
I am trying to figure out how if it is even possible to set up my centos server to email messages to gmail account I have tried mail -S Test account@gmail.com but every time it say in my log files that Connection refused by [127.0.0.1]
I'm trying to configure postfix so smart daemon can send out notifications emails. My system will need to send emails to a mail server that is on the same local network. I have not had much luck in getting this to work, and am confused on what I need to setup to do this and how to set it up. Does my system need to be apart of the same domain as the mail server? If so, how do I do this? Is there any restrictions sending emails from the command line as the root user? Do I need to configure a relayhost?
Basically all I need to do is send emails to a local mail server, i.e. a mail server on the same local network. I do not need to receive emails. I am rather clueless as to how to set this all up, and what I need for this basic email functionality. I have read and tried many postfix configuration tutorials, but when I try to send out a test email to a email address on the local network mail server I always get "Connection refused" to the server and deferred or bounced status on my test email.
I just set up a new email server on Debian Lenny. It's Postfix for MTA and Dovecot for IMAPS server. I use Dovecot for authentication. I have two UNIX users on the system (except root), one was added before the installation of Postfix and Dovecot. I'm not doing any virtual things, just plain UNIX users and one domain on a dynamic IP. The first user, "webadmin" can send and receive emails just fine through the server from my mail client.
Now I just added a new user, "scarleo", and it turns out I'm unable to send and receive emails with this account. If I log in (SSH) with scarleo I can use bash mail to send emails, works fine. scarleo can also receive emails from webadmin and can connect to Dovecot to read emails. However scarleo cannot send or receive to or from anyone outside the server from my mail client. I have restarted both Postfix and Dovecot after adding the user. Do I have to do something else to make this account work like webadmin's?
A few relevant lines from mail.log: (I've modded my real IP) Code: Dec 7 17:44:42 homer dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<scarleo>, method=PLAIN, rip=96.136.112.229, lip=192.168.0.18, TLS Dec 7 17:44:42 homer dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<webadmin>, method=PLAIN, rip=96.136.112.229, lip=192.168.0.18, TLS Dec 7 17:45:16 homer postfix/smtpd[5915]: connect from bredband.comhem.se[96.136.112.229] .....
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:
Have anyone used an email client that stays in sync with a free Hotmail account? I have setup Claws Mail but when I delete an email within the client it remains on the server. I remember this being the same for other email clients. Is there any client that will stay in sync? If I delete an email from within the client it will also be deleted from Hotmail's web bases interface.
ok so i ran into a problem, im using web min to access my server, and im setting up postfix and, dovecot first problem is i want to be able to access my email account from a web page, with log in, so my question is how can i do that?
Is there an alternate tar package for Ubuntu that supports sockets and such? I know there is in Slackware, which I use when I'm doing stuff on Slackware.
I just dl'd Thunderbird and its working fine with my Hotmail account however I'm having some problems with my Gmail account. I can send emails thru gmail just fine but when I click get mail, the error message: Unable to locate mail spool file pops up. The server settings for this account are Server Type: Unix Movemail Server Name: Local Host Username: (my gmail email - @gmail.com) I think this is all set up right, it did it automatically for me.
