I recently created a webserver to host my website, using a Ubuntu 8.10 based system. (With some help from my experienced brother of course).I now want to create a mailserver to go along with my website. In setting up postfix to work with gmail smtp servers, I ran into a lot of permission errors.
View 2 RepliesI'm trying to set up my postfix server to relay mail (via a php cms) using Gmail's smtp on my account, but for some reason, Gmail returns an error code that StartTLS must be sent first, my postfix main.cnf file can be found at pastebin, because of this forum's text length I cannot paste my postfix main.cnf file as can be seen I have everything set and configured for Gmail, but postfix (for some unseen reason) can not send StartTLS.

For the past two days I have been in and out of the logs, changing parameters and blindly following tutorials but I can't get anything to work properly. So far I've narrowed my problems down to tls connection establishing and a failure to authenticate, judging by the local emails I've received from "The mail system".
View 2 Replies View RelatedI run a 6.06.2 Dapper server for a not-for-profit, and have had a very simple email set-up working for a couple of years. Users have their email address set up on the server, and use a gmail account as webmail access/storage. Emails are downloaded via POP to users gmail accounts, and are sent out from gmail via SMTP to the server. Like I said, this has worked fine for ages, but in the last couple of days its all gone wrong.
The SMTP log I get for an email I tried to send from gmail is as follows:

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 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.

Does someone knows if is possible to use PostFix as SMTP server for Joomla?
If does; would be necessary to install IMAP or POP3, Webmail etc if I just want to send automatics mails via Joomla.
I've search high and low.. does anyone know how to configure Postfix/Dovecot to use another SMTP server (i.e. smtp.comcast.net) as my ISP blocks port 25?

View 4 Replies View Relatedconfiguring my postfix server to send mail over smtps port 465. My ISP (as is the case with many ISPs), is blocking outbound SMTP, so I need to configure postfix to relay my mail out through my ISPs SMTP servers.
I was able to get it to work with gmail, which uses port 587, by using SASL: [URL] but that configuration is less than ideal as gmail drops the "reply to" address so when people receive my email, it looks like it's from gmail instead of from my server.
If I use my ISP SMTP servers as a relay the "reply to" address is not stripped, but the relay uses ssl over port 465 instead of TLS. According to the SASL readme:
Quote:
Postfix does not deliver mail via TCP port 465 (the obsolete "wrappermode" protocol). See TLS_README for a solution that uses the "stunnel" command.
I've looked at the TLS_README and can't figure out what I need to do. how to configure this?
My postfix is ok with receiving emails but i can send mail to my domain only [URL] When I want to send to other domains i receive this error (in the maillog):

it is the same via thunderbird or via telnet. This is my configuration

I have been faithfully following the postfix/sasl/etc install docs from [URL] and seem to have hit a minor snag with SASL authentication for SMTP. KMail cryptically leaves me with a generic auth fail notice and tailing the mail logs gives me

Im using posfix as a outgoing mail server, here i want to distribute the mails to different ips to avoid the ip blacklisting. I found a solution by using multiple transports , but here one thing blocking me was i could not able to select a transport using regexp or pcre matching pattern, log says that
Code:
Jun 5 07:12:49 server postfix/trivial-rewrite[6079]: warning: pcre map /etc/postfix/transport.pcre, line 1: regular expression substitution is not allowed: skipping this rule
the transport used for this purpose is:-
Code:
#cat /etc/postfix/transport.pcre
/^.*@([a-z])ol.com$/ transport$1:
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

Mutt can only read email's from my gmail account, but no emails can be send through gmail to the Internet. I need some guide for Mutt , don't know how to configure it , for sending emails via my gmail account. I tried many muttrc conf files from the Internet and even tried to configure my own muttrc file , but still no luck. My windows xp box ( Outlook Express ) is configured and works with gmail account , but I would like to explore the power of Linux.
Evolution works fine for receiving mail, but I cant send anything.When i hit "send/receive" itll receive but ask for smtp password every single time. My understanding is that the password is your email password, but it wont accept it.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm running Postfix primarily as a local email server. There is no email coming in from other machines, and there are no other machines using it to send mail. But I'd like it to be able to send mail. I use Evolution for my normal email stuff, and it's configured to send mail to my ISP's smtp server, and that's working fine. But I occasionally send mail from the command line, using the "mail" or "mutt" utilities. (Mutt because the standard mail doesn't support attachments.) These don't use Evolution's configuration, they depend upon whatever is listening to port 25 - and that's Postfix. So all I should need to do is to give Postfix the smtp server, user name, and password. My problem is that Postfix has voluminous documentation online, and I haven't been able to find this simple configuration in it.
