Ubuntu Servers :: Iptables / Netfilter Config Stops Sendmail From Working?
Oct 8, 2010I have an ubuntu server virtual machine with a webhost. I am trying to configure the firewall. I am having a problem with sendmail and the required firewall configuraiton If I type the command:
iptables -F
Then sendmail works perfectly. I can see the emails sent in my googlemail inbox. I then configure my firewall as follows:
iptables -F
iptables -A INPUT -m conntrack --ctstate ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -i lo -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 2252 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT
[Code]....
(I have moved SSH to a diffrent port) Once this is setup sendmail no longer works. I had assumed that sendmail will establish a tcp connection and the first rule will allow all established connections to pass. why this iptables/netfilter config stops sendmail from working.
Ubuntu Servers :: Config - Change / Add From The Default OpenSSH Config Files To Get Tunnelling To Work?
Jul 10, 2011I'm running Ubuntu Server 11.04 with OpenSSH, trying to create an ssh tunnel (for web traffic) to it from my (also Ubuntu) laptop. This is the command I'm using to create the tunnel:
Code: ssh -ND localhost:8080 george@192.168.1.20 I had it all working on a virtual machine.. which was deleted What settings/lines do I need to change/add from the default OpenSSH config files to get tunnelling to work? I've Googled and AllowTcpForwarding is set to yes, as is X11Forwarding.. but it still doesn't work. Chrome can connect to the server, but says the connection was closed before any data was sent.
Server :: Getting An Error While Changing Sendmail Config File?
Nov 7, 2009I am trying to change the configuration of sendmail so that I can relay mail through google smtp server as suggested here.
First I ran 'm4 sendmail,mc > sendmail.cf' with the original .mc file that came with Fedora 10. There was no error.
I added the following lines.
Quote:
TRUST_AUTH_MECH(`EXTERNAL DIGEST-MD5 CRAM-MD5 LOGIN PLAIN')dnl
define(`confAUTH_MECHANISMS', `EXTERNAL GSSAPI DIGEST-MD5 CRAM-MD5 LOGIN PLAIN')dnl
FEATURE(`authinfo','hash /etc/mail/auth/client-info.db')dnl
define(`SMART_HOST',`smtp.gmail.com')dnl
define(`RELAY_MAILER_ARGS�, `TCP $h 587′)
define(`ESMTP_MAILER_ARGS�, `TCP $h 587′)
I ran ''m4 sendmail,mc > sendmail.cf' again and got this message:
Quote:
m4:/usr/share/sendmail-cf/mailer/procmail.m4:33: ERROR: end of file in argument list
I did not change anything in the procmail.m4 file. What do you think caused this error?

View 2 Replies View RelatedUbuntu Servers :: Why Sendmail Would Be Rewriting These Files
Jul 11, 2011I recently inherited an Ubuntu server where the previous admin had installed sendmail and FCheck IDS.The issue I am encountering is that sendmail appears to be rewriting both /etc/mail/m4/dialup.m4 and /etc/mail/sendmail.cf constantly (at least once per hour).dailup.m4 never seems to change (other then the creation date), while sendmail.cf has the line describing who and when it was built changed.So far I have had no luck tracking down why sendmail would be rewriting these files.
View 2 Replies View RelatedUbuntu Servers :: Sendmail Can Only Send To External Domains
Jun 15, 2011When I use sendmail (or, most commonly, a PHP or Perl script uses it) to send to any other domain except my own, it works great. When I use it to send to my own domain, however, it's trying to deliver it to localhost. Problem is, all our mail is handled by an Exchange server on a different machine, so I really don't want If I run sendmail manually for a test message to myself, here's how it comes up after the message is closed out:
Code:
echo "Subject: test" | /usr/sbin/sendmail -v me@domain.com
354 Enter mail, end with "." on a line by itself
>>> .
050 <me@domain.com>... Connecting to local...
[code]...
The message then gets dropped into my box at /var/mail/xxxx, but that's really not helpful to me -- I need to to connect to that other machine to deliver the mail there. This machine isn't used as a mail server at all. Also, if it's trying to send to a username that doesn't have an account on this server (we have many), it just fails entirely with "user unknown" (that makes sense, as there are only a couple of user accounts on the web server). how to get sendmail to connect to our mail server instead of "local"?

Fedora Servers :: Sendmail Delivery To Local Boxes
Jun 1, 2009I have fedora running as our email server at work using sendmail. It used to have spamassassin and MailScanner installed, but one of those died over the weekend and killed the mail server. We do not need either of these as we are using a web based spam filter now (postini), so I tried removing these. I have discovered that the mail is in the mqueue waiting for delivery to the users mailboxes. I have tried using "sendmail -q -v":
Code:
Running /var/spool/mqueue/n51Jx6Gg023820 (sequence 1 of 1174)
<abaughman@grandproductsinc.com>... Connecting to local...
<abaughman@grandproductsinc.com>... Deferred: local mailer (/usr/bin/procmail) exited with EX_TEMPFAIL
Running /var/spool/mqueue/n51JsuRe023619 (sequence 2 of 1174)
<ksullivan@grandproductsinc.com>... Connecting to local...
<ksullivan@grandproductsinc.com>... Deferred: local mailer (/usr/bin/procmail) exited with EX_TEMPFAIL .....
I do not have a procmail config file: /etc/procmailrc. I am not sure why, or what it should be, perhaps that is the problem. I guess I don't exactly know how this server runs all that well. I was able to get it up and running but never understood it enough to now find what is not working correctly.

View 2 Replies View RelatedFedora Servers :: Sendmail And Home Network Woes?
Feb 22, 2011I have a rather interesting issue. I have set up a home network and a fedora 14 box as a server. I am running the version of Sendmail that came with fedora 14. I wrote a PHP script that changes http access passwords(to give authorized access to the outside by multiple users) once a week and emails the users their new passwords. It also finds out my WAN IP (because it is dynamic, and I am using a Linksys router with NAT), and E-Mails users when this has changed along with the new access password. I have Sendmail set up so that it should log on to my websites mail server (smtp.example.net) and send the email through it.
The problem I am having is that I have set up my home server with an internal domain like exampledomain.home, but the wan IP reverse lookup returns xx.xxx.xxx.xxx.static.xxx.xx.charter.com, so that when my sendmail server connects to my smtp server for my website it gives "EHLO server.exampledomain.home" then my smtp server rejects it because the connecting IP (WAN IP) resolves toxxx.xxx.xxx.xxx.static.opls.la.charter.com gives a host not found error. Or it gives the error because server.exampledomain.home is obviously not a valid host name on the internet. I was hoping someone out there had some insight on how I could get around this without editing or adding any DNS entries to my websites domain. I would also like to avoid getting a static IP for my house as it is more expensive. I thought about making a dynamic DNS entry with dyndns.com and then making Sendmail use that host name. I dont know how to trick sendmail like that though.Here is a copy of my sendmail.mc (scrubbed of course).

Fedora Servers :: F15 Sendmail Service Not Starting On Boot-up?
May 29, 2011Just upgraded to F15 and I cannot seem to get the sendmail service starting at boot time.It starts and works just fine by hand after boot, so there's nothing wrong with the sendmail

Fedora Servers :: Migrate Local Users And Sendmail Mailboxes?
Apr 21, 2010I found 2 previous posts, one from 2005 and one from 2006. The 2005 post was not very helpful and the 2006 threads are not exactly what I was expecting. So I wanted to ask the question to be sure. I have already stood up the new fedora 12 server. The old server is also fedora 12. I need to migrate local users and sendmail mailboxes. In the past couple of years the environment was small enough to create a copy of the users and then have the users mail themselves, but I want to start migrating users/mailboxes properly.
On a unix level I am a jr admin, but I have extensive senior level experience as a windows engineer and network engineer. I do feel comfortable with using the unix command line, but usually operate the unix systems thru webmin because I am not familular with more complex commands. Ideally a software solution to migrate users and/or mailboxes from one server to another is what I am looking for, but in leiu of a software solution I still need to migrate user accounts and their mailboxes. LDAP is not in place, but if the process becomes easier with LDAP I am willing to do what is needed to set up LDAP. (I have no previous experience setting up LDAP)
I do not want to change my mail server from sendmail to different software. At least right now. Both systems are up and running. They can connect to each other via public ipv4 address' only. The new server has already been installed and configured with all the software to match the old server. How do I migrate users and sendmail mailboxes from one fedora 12 server to another fedora 12 server?

Ubuntu Servers :: New User Looking For Drive Config
Feb 4, 2010I'm planning to take a custom-built machine presently running Windows Home Server and convert it to a Ubuntu server to support the same backup functionality, but also allow me to support other server functions as well (WHS is great for backups and as a file server, but that's about it). The machine has two 1TB 7200 RPM drives. As the primary use for the machine is backups of files stored on the server as well as on the local PCs, I'd like to configure the box to support redundancy across both drives - So if one fails, I still have my data. What would be the recommended configuration of the drives to support this? I plan on using Bacula for the backups (clients and server).
I'll assume the disk format won't be NTFS.If one of the drives fail and its the boot drive, how easy is it to recover the data from the other drive? Just want to make sure there isn't some form of security that would prevent me from reading the data.
I'm new to Linux with only a bit of Unix experience, but I figure I have to start somewhere (and I have a bit of technical expertise, just with the Windows platform) This will also let me start playing with the LAMP stack.
