I have been following the guide atand it has all worked perfectly and as expected, except for when it says to run "telnet localhost 25". Instead of getting an ip address displayed as I have seen it is supposed to, it just out puts this."Trying 127.0.0.1...Connected to localhost.localdomain.Escape character is '^]'.Connection closed by foreign host."

I'm configuring a server but at this time I can't send mail. I tried using the PHP mail() function and it didn't work. Webmin says I have no mail configured. I'll be the only user and mail recipient. I've used Squirrelmail and Roundcube before and liked them.
Do I need to install Postfix in order to user Squirrelmail or Roundcube? How should I set up mail?
Here's my setup:
10.04 LTS Server edition
Webmin 1.520
Apache 2.x
MySQL 5.x
PHP 5.x
Running newaliasespostalias: fatal: open database /etc/aliases.db: Permission deniedin my /etc I do not have a aliases.db only an aliases.I cp aliases aliases.db but when I try and install post fix again it gives me the same error and aliases.db goes away.
View 9 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?

I can't seem to reinstall Postfix. I followed a guide and couldn't get it to work. After I retried a few times I gave up and deleted all files and folders I could find related to Postfix. Well I realized what the issue was and now that I want to try reinstalling Postfix it won't allow me.

I am trying to install a mail server (postfix). I followed the instructions (up until SMTP, I do not want that) on ubuntu pages, without any result. I can send mail, but I can't get any.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a static IP from local ISP and my computer is configured with 192.168.1.2 (LAN IP).
I have installed ubuntu server 9.04 and want to send emails from my server for which I've configured postfix. But I dont know what to do next.
My questions are:
1. Do i need to install DNS server for using postfix? If not, what should I install to send emails from this server?
2. Do I need to forward any particular port in my router?
3. If I dont have a fully qualified domain, what are the configurations I need to do to send emails?
I use Ubuntu Server 9.10 64bit
at first, sendmail was installed and everything was working great. all the email sent from forum and webform I host as been sent correctly in the reception box of the recipient. But I want postfix as MTA to do my delivery to all my virtual domain I host.
when sendmail is uninstalled and postfix installed and all services configured(php included) and restarted(apache included), when I send a email from command line or from web form, the email goes in junk mail for some ISP email address and for gmail and the email did'nt show at all for hotmail. but email sent from forum (phpbb) still goes in reception box like normal email do.
I tried do change the headers, who was working with sendmail, of the email sent from web form without success.
so I tried to uninstall postfix and reinstall sendmail, restarted all service and every thing was back to normal... email sent goes in reception box.
I tried it twice.... sendmail, postfix, sendmail, postfix and now back to sendmail for a working solution until I get postfix working.
I tried with spf entry in my dns, I tried allowed icmp packet from outside with iptables, I tried many different headers for my email. My ip is not blacklisted anywhere.
I have a problem setting up Postfix on my home (behind Router/firewall) Ubuntu driven server, I have been trying for days now with no luck. All I would like to do is use the server to send mail (MTA). So while installing I configured it as a satellite system.
file:
/etc/postfix/main.cf
settings:
myhostname = mail.example.com
mydomain = example.com
alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases

I'm getting a 553 From address not verified. I have tried what it suggested from the URL link, but it still doesn't work.
I've got a server running 9.10, and I'm having a few issues with SMTP. It's got Postfix and Dovecot installed, and eventually I'll add content filtering, but I need to get past this issue first.
I know there's a lot of posts out there for Postfix issues, but I haven'tbeen able to find one specific to my issue.
IMAP and POP3 work fine through SSL, and the server can send mail without any problems. That's all fine and dandy, but I need to utilize an e-mail client (like evolution or outlook). Everytime I set up a user in Evolution, the smtp connection times out, or is refused. I know it's not a firewall issue. Port 25 is open, as well as 465. So I should be able to connect through SSL. I want to be able to connect through SMTP using the same credentials as IMAP.
Here's my main.cf file:
Code:
myhostname = mail.adamwgay.com
alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases
alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases
myorigin = /etc/mailname
[Code].....
everytime I get things rolling, this issue pops up. I don't know if it's something I'm setting up wrong in the client, or if it's a configuration error on my part in postfix.
I'm also having a bit of an issue with my aliases. I've basically got a lot of addresses going to root, then root going to the main user, but it's not actually delivering the mail to the main user. It sends it straight to root.
I installed and configured postfix per the guide on help.ubuntu.com. Everything seems to work fine with smtp and it says that my emails are being sent, but I never receive them.What could be causing this problem?The local mailbox shows that the email was sent.Mail.log shows that the message was delivered to the mailbox.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have installed qmail on my 10.04 server (Because I prefer qmail and dont want to use postfix) and I would like to just install courier IMAP/POP server without the Postfix (Or other mail servers).
Is there an apt-get install switch that will install just what I want to install without deps; or at least a way to block unwanted deps from being installed.
I have just built an internal postfix server for sending mail only, it's not accessible outside our network. I will be sending from our domain, Rewriting the from field to abc.com is turned on in the postfix config. A friend is telling me this will not work as they will do reverse lookups on our domain. What does this mean? Obviously the domain the email is sent from is a valid domain. If they do a lookup from the IP the mail came from it would be global crossing, our internet provider? These outbound emails are critical client reports, I want to make sure they are not seen as spam.

I currently have a postfix / dovecot server running on one ubuntu server with nullmailer relaying webmail on a different server. This is currently working except the mail server is rejecting incorrect addresses which results in the messages being stuck in the nullmailer queue on the webmail server. Is it possible to force postfix to accept and manage all relayed messages from webmail, or is it possible for the nullmailer to manage the bounced messages correctly?

I've been following this guide: http://flurdy.com/docs/postfix/
And done the points up to "Advanced mail server" and are trying to test mailing mail@mydomain.com to mail@mydomain.com (yes, the same inbox) using Thunderbird, through my own DNS, from the server.
But I get the following error: The message can not be sent because the connection to SMTP server mydomain.com timed out.
And when I check /var/spool/mail/virtual where the mailboxes are supposed to be stored there are none.
So I'm wondering how I create a mailbox with postfix.
I can add that I am quite a noob at linux but have to do this in a school project.
I'm using ubuntu server 10.04 32bit with GUI (yes I know, I know)
I have read many tutorials and guides on how to apply authentication to SMTP on postfix and so far had no look making it work, I do have authentication on dovecot on the pop3 and IMAP servers I have been trying to make this work now for on and off 3 months now and am completely stumped I am running my own server with a dynamically IP address but I have a DNS service to give me a fixed domain name which works. as I am on a dynamic IP I can't send email to external accounts as they need to to through a relay host but I cant set that up until there is some form of authentication on the smtp of postfix even if its just plain-text

Does anyone know the trick to getting Logwatch to make its entries a little less chatty and leave out the "Detailed" section of the Postfix report? I can't seem to tone it down and the daily reports I get include every recipient, host, etc., which is too much info to make a summary report useful.The first portion I get looks like this:
****** Summary *************************************************
9 *Warning: Pre-queue content-filter connection overload
2 SASL authentication failed
432 Miscellaneous warnings[code]....
This would be fine for a quick review that I do first thing. However,the "Detailed" portion that follows is over 2,800 lines long!
