Ubuntu :: SSMTP Removing Postfix - Will That Break MySQL?
Nov 26, 2010
I want to install SSMTP to (hopefully!) simplify sending MDADM notifications via Gmail. On issuing the command...
Code:
sudo apt-get install ssmtp
I'm informed that...
Code:
The following packages will be removed:
postfix
The following NEW packages will be installed:
ssmtp
However, I believe that MySQL (which I need for my Squeezebox) depends on Postfix. So can I install SSMTP without removing Postfix? Will removing Postfix actually break MySQL? BTW, this is on Ubuntu Server 10.10 64 bit
I was playing around the default mysql that comes with Slackware 13, and I think I broke it somehow. I don't want to fix it, I'd like to start from scratch, building from source and everything, but first I have to remove this broken installation. How can I do this?
When a user logs into my webmail application, it creates entries in a table on MySQL called "identities" which works great however once the user is deleted fro Linux with the "userdel -r" command, the data still sits in MySQL. My question is how I can I remove the table data from old users? It appears as show below:
I tried to install the package from centosplus repo but got the error cannot find libmysqlclient.so.15.Not surprising as I have libmysqlclient.so.18. If not does anyone know how I can build postfix with support for MySQL 5.5. It doesn't help that I have never built a binary before - I found a couple of good tutorials on how to build from source that seem straight forward enough but I have no idea what needs to be specified for the postfix build.
I did a basic U9.10 server install of postfix with the minimal config. Added a test user and things worked after a few minutes. I now want to setup a few new things and want to switch to use mysql as the back-end. I have mysql installed, setup postfix.admin which in turn setup the database/tables. Now when I logged in to that admin, the original test user is not there (which is fine), but I created the test domain again, created a user and an outside test failed saying user unknown.
Now I looked through the main.cf page and don't see anything obvious to say hey, put backend is mysql, here is the info. I then noticed via apt that postfix-mysql was not installed, so installed that, I see my .cf was backed up, but still don't see anywhere to connect the 2. So currently mail is still accepted from the test1 user running local. I don't mind wiping everyhing, but is there a simple place to just make a change or 2?
I was following the above guide to get a mail server up and running. The major difference in it all is the fact that my server is running i686, but I compensated for that easily, just a difference in folder/RPM names. [URL]. Otherwise I followed it to a "T." Everything seemed to go smoothly, no trips or falls until the very end.
After installing squirrelmail and trying to login on admin@withfrosted.com returns ERROR: Connection dropped by IMAP server. Uncle google tells me to run this command because SELinux is overzealous: setsebool -P httpd_can_network_connect=1
And that works, and I thought I was home free. However, after that, I'm presented with a new error. However, google told me to send an email to create the mailbox because it wasn't there, yet. So I send a test email on over, but that fails, and so does mailx. Next I created /home/vmail/withfrosted.com/admin while logged into the vmail user for proper permissions. Squirrelmail now logs into the mail box but gives me yet another new error, in which I am now stuck on: ERROR: ERROR: Could not complete request. Query: SELECT "INBOX" Reason Given: Unable to open this mailbox.
As a summary, because I'm all over the place, here: 1. Can't view the mailbox via Squirrelmail. 2. Can't receive email, tried with mailx and a test email from gmail.

Slackware 13 64 - full installation Postfix from slackbuilds dot org Dovecot from same
has anyone recompiled Postfix using the Slackbuild script, modifying the script to include support for Cyrus-SASL, OpenLDAP, and MySQL in the build, while retaining Dovecot SASL and TLS? If so I would appreciate it if they could post the CCARGS and AUXLIBS commands. I am having some difficulty getting this working.
For 3 days now I've been trying to setup a CentOS box with Apache, PHP, MySQL and iRedMail (Postfix/Dovecot) Everything is great apart from Apache, which is returning 403 errors: "You don't have permission to access / on this server.". The apache error_log file says: "[Mon Jul 26 14:02:32 2010] [error] [client x.x.x.x] (13)Permission denied: access to / denied" (I've blanked out my IP). I have no idea what's happening here. Apache works fine until I add my VirtualHost which is:
<VirtualHost mydomainname.com> DocumentRoot "/home/myuser/public_html" <Directory "/home/myuser/public_html"> allow from all Options +Indexes RewriteEngine On
make install then i got this error: postfix: fatal: chdir(/usr/libexec/postfix): No such file or directory make: *** [install] Error 1 I don't understand why it's checking the usr/libexec folder for the daemons although I've set the folder to /opt/product/postfix-2.6.5/libexec in the makefile. Here is also the cat of my makedefs.out:
Code: root=[my address]@gmail.com mailhub=smtp.gmail.com:587 AuthUser=[my address]@gmail.com AuthPass=[password] UseSTARTTLS=yes And this is what I do on the command line, and what I get in response:

recently we decided to make our own panel (like Plesk or cPanel) but for Ubuntu and it will be licenced under GPL (like any other professional sofware).want to make a panel not only that fits our needs but also the needs of other system administrators and domain owners. We researched other panels and found out that non of them has security/look/ease of use in one package. Bad codig is another problem found in other panels.I made a short overwiev of what I think we have to have in the beginning.I Security :1. Completely chroot enviornoment where every single service is in chroot mode (bind,mysql, postfix, .... )2. Easily managed IPtables trough web-based interface. 3. Coding rules has to be strict.
II Software selection : 1. MTA - Postfix 2. POP - dovecot
I have been trying to get command line email working for cron email reports and such. I have set up stunnel for ssl and this works with thunderbird (set to route through stunnel with no ssl in thunderbird). I am trying to use ssmtp as I don't need all the complexity of sendmail - just trying to use an [URL]..account It complains that my address is not verified. I think the from line is not set up properly but I have been unable to see this in the stunnel logs and ssmtp doesn't seem to have logs. Is there a way to get more logs from stunnel. How do I make sure I am sending the right email and not something like "localhost"?
I am attempting to run ssmtp from an initrd image to send an e-mail, via Gmail MTA, upon reboot of the machine. I have already successfully installed and configured ssmtp on the running box (in other words, ssmtp successfully runs after completion of the boot cycle). When attempting to mail something via `echo "Test" | ssmtp username@gmail.com`, I receive the following error message:
I've got a working Virtual Postfix server running with mysql doing user authentication. I have a support email address set as support@hostname.com, which has 5 aliases associated; user1, user2, user3, user4, and user5. When an email is sent to support@hostname.com, all 5 users receive the email, just as planned. What I'm looking to do is when an email is sent to support@hostname.com to have it rotate through the members of the alias group. That way all members of the group get support emails evenly and not everybody all at once. Is this possible?
I think this goes here, but I'm not sure. I decided that XAMPP had been troublesome enough. MySQL never worked. So I decided to instal the LAMP stack offered by YaST. I went about installing it thinking that it would all work. But it seems that I was wrong. So I try to start mysql, and here's what I get:
Code: the-matrix:~ # mysql start ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/mysql/mysql.sock' (2) or Code: the-matrix:~ # rcmysql start Starting service MySQL warning: /var/mysql/mysql.sock didn't appear within 30 seconds chmod: cannot access `/var/run/mysql/mysqld.pid': No such file or directory
what i did was, remove evolution mail from synaptic, what i wanted to do was just remove the indicator applet from the task bar. i read a bunch of bad stuff about removing evolution from synaptic vs just removing the applet.
im worried. did i break anything or put my security at risk. after, i used a command (older) (sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop)to install ubuntu desktop. because i thought that it would fix evolution. then i went to synaptic and installed a package called evolution. i rechecked evolution in applications menu. however, i notice that i have both a checkable evolution and two evolution icons. nothing 'seems' broken. im not sure if it ever was. and evolution calender pops up as normal, as does the the installed plain evolution. they both seems to be an exact copy of the other.
all i really wanted to do was remove the indicator applet. did i make a serious mistake. since ive had ubuntu, ive reformatted a lot because i was worried i made a mistake of some kind. however now im into the more "make a mistake and fix it stage' as im pretty happy with my current desktop and have worked hard to customize it. the command, sudo apt-get remove indicator-messages removed the mail icon. i still am worried that i broke something, or put my security at risk. also, now i have two mail icons. evolution mail and calendar, and another just called evolution.
i am using liferay5.2(mysql included in the download pack) on fedora. while liferay is working fine but i cannot connect to mysql.i am getting the error
[ [root@localhost ~]# ln -s /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock /tmp [root@localhost ~]# /etc/init.d/mysqld start Timeout error occurred trying to start MySQL Daemon.
[code]....
i didnt find the mysql.sock file in the location /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock. i cannot find the portal-ext.properties file also to make intial settings.
I know a bunch of commands and I am comfortable using the terminal, I even set a powerpc server but I can't figure out how to remove epiphany on this new computer I'm setting up. I didn't install anything with tasksel. I installed gnome and xorg afterwards... I load it up and 'startx' just fine. then I check around for the programs that were installed. I lik'em gimp, lot's of utilities. gedit. anyway I find epiphany, which I have already established that I dislike, I immediately go to the root terminal (another nice program that comes with gnome) and type apt-get remove epiphany-browser-data the output says it will be deleting gnome... however I have researched and found these are simpy meta packages that don't really matter.... however under the section that states all the packages that will be removed by autoremove there is a huge list... I doubt these packages are safe to remove. how to remove epiphany without removing a huge amount of probably needed software
These should be my last pleas for help with regard to Fedora 13. I've been unable to turn off the notifications that appear in the top right corner, despite a decent amount of searching on google. I can't remove any notifications package without removing a bunch of important software along with it. Also, F13 refuses to "Safely Remove" either of my external disks. I have to yank out the usb cord, touching wood each time.
is there any HOWTO for configuring Webmin Postfix server with multiple postfix virtual hosts? Seems to be a tough challenge to set it up without any easy manual..
I have been trying to set up ssmtp so I can send email using Gmail's ssmtp servers. However, when I try to send mail (using mailx), I get the following message:
Code:
Can't send mail: sendmail process failed
Here's the last line from dmesg (the only one applicable, according to the timestamps and message content):
Code:
[484114.608378] sendmail[17975]: segfault at 0 ip b7dbbbf3 sp bfb0dc4c error 4 in libc-2.11.2.so[b7d44000+14e000]
Here's my ssmtp.conf:
Code:
# # /etc/ssmtp.conf -- a config file for sSMTP sendmail. #
so 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
I 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:
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.
I 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?
So I have this emerald theme I wanted to install on my Ubuntu 10.4 gnome installation that has compiz. I didn't know how to do this so i looked at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=495997 to understand how to do this and when did the steps which you will see her shortly, I got some errors and my windows broke to the point you can move them, close them and all you see is the menu bar and then the rest of the window down.
