Ubuntu Servers :: Mail Not Being Delivered Externally?

Mar 1, 2010

We've just setup an Ubuntu server as our main web server. The site's domain, say mydomain.com, has its DNS hosted elsewhere. A records are pointed to the IP address of the new server, so far so good. Email is however handled elsewhere. Sending mail to _anything but_ mydomain.com works fine. However when i try to send mail to me@mydomain.com the mail ends in /var/mail/me

how to deliver the mail externally?

Ubuntu Servers :: Email Is Sent From The Mail Queue Its Not Delivered In Html Format - File

Nov 3, 2010

I have recently set up an ubuntu 10:04 based email server using postfix, clamav and squirrelmail. The setup works like a beast, much better than the old sco based system we were using. Anyway I work for a law firm, and we have use a bespoke case management system to complete work on cases. We have started a paperless office initiative. This means we are asking more and more clients and firms to correspond via email. This is where my troubles are kicking in. The governing body of solicitors in the UK is very picky, and we have to have certain formats and information in documents when sent out to clients, this is the same for emails.

I have a script that will cat the html header information, then cat the body of the email and finally cat the footer html information. The output of which is perfect and usable to the firm. My problem comes sending this file. The end of the script I have the following:

Code: mail -s $SUBJECT $CLIENTS_EMAIL < email.$$$ Pretty self explanatory. But when the email is sent from the mail queue its not delivered in html format but in plain text. Any email sent using outlook from any machine on the network can send and receive html email. How can I make this happen from the command line?

Debian :: Mail Delivered But Not Being Read By Client

Jan 19, 2010

Whenever Debian is installed, a mail client is also installed. I don't have the faintest idea what is happening below the surface, but if something happens with the system, like a failed cronjob, a mail is sent to my account on that computer. I can't recall it exactly, but I think during Debian installation I had to specify where system mail has to go to. In my case I am installing as jlinkels, so all mail directed to root goes to jlinkels. I am not sure if that redirection is still asked, on older versions I know it was, but I can't remember I had to tell that while installing newer versions. Anyway, on all boxes, automatically a folder /home/jlinkels/Maildir is created and within that the subfolders new cur and tmp. Whenever I log in in such a box mail is checked, and when I run mail I get a listing and can read the mail.

However, now I am running a server for which it is extremely important that I get the mail if there is something exceptional, and this mail does not function. That is, I don't have the ~/Maildir/new ~/Maildir/cur etc, but for some reason I do have ~/new, ~/cur etc. Now when something happens, root receives a mail. This mail is placed in ~/new. But when I run mail I see that there is no new mail for me. Still there is new and unread mail in ~/new. Installed Debian Lenny on this box and did nothing unusual. I have installed tens of Lenny boxes and run thru the installation procedure almost with my eyes closed so I am pretty sure I did not do anything out of the ordinary on this box. Still the mail is screwed up.

A few observations:
- the system (programs like cron) know they should send mail to root. This happens. I see in the header the mail is sent to root.
- the mail system (whatever that is) knows that mail to root should be sent to jlinkels
- the mail system even knows where to find the mailboxes of jlinkels
- the mail client does not know where to find new mail for jlinkels
I have seen that exim4 is running on the box. Is exim4 responsible for forwarding and dropping the mail in ~/new? How this mail is produced, how it is dropped in my mailbox, and how the mail client can find this.

Ubuntu Servers :: Bind : ANAME To Server 2 Not Forwarding Externally?

Dec 8, 2010

I have 2 servers operating on my home network. One server hosts Bind9 and a few web sites. The other is an Ubuntu repo mirror that I recently configured (10.1.10.26). Inside my network, requests to the olyubuntu.nwlinux domain function as it should. However, external requests do not get forwarded. Instead, they end up at my DNS box at 10.1.10.25. Again, internal requests are forwarded correctly.Any red flags pop-up as to why this is occurring? Firewalls are not an issue.

Ubuntu Servers :: Secondary Mail Server And A Mail Gateway/relay?

Aug 3, 2011

Our primary mail server is Exchange 2003 Standard on Windows Server 2003 Standard - don't shout at me; I inherited it already set up this way.I have a couple of hardware identical redundant servers (HP ML350 boxes), all with very fast 2 or 4 disk arrays, multiple core CPUs and plenty of memory, and I am looking at two potential new additions to the infrastructure.

A secondary mail server is high on my list of priories. I've been well and truly bitten by Exchange in the past and given that this particular box has been running four years straight and that it's mail store is dangerously large, having a secondary mail server in place suddenly makes a lot of sense.

A new Exchange 2010 box is currently being set up, but the secondary mail server will remain in place even when the new Exchange server is brought online, so this won't be a wasted exercise.... I also want a gateway box in place to filter and relay mail to the primary server, or to the secondary server if the primary is unavailable. Currently our outer perimeter is:

ISP supplied CISCO router
Draytek VigorPro 5510 UTM

Untangle running in bridged mode (primarily used for SPAM filtering, URL blacklisting, and very little else) Exchange 2003 sits behind the Untangle box. This is how I want to end up:

CISCO >> Draytek >> Ubuntu gateway >> Exchange/secondary mail server

I know I could replace/remove the Draytek but I want it to remain for several reasons, including lots of VPN dial-in users already configured and that it offers us an additional layer of email antivirus scanning before things hit the Exchange box. No point switching all of our remote workers over to new tunnels unnecessarily...

I have done some research and have started testing a pilot secondary mail server using Ubuntu/postfix DNS is properly set up and MX records and reverse PTR records are all present and correct, and things are looking encouraging so far. Before I go out over deep waters and start to flounder, has anyone who has done something like this got any obvious howlers I should be looking to avoid ?

Ubuntu Servers :: Can't Send Mail Using PostFix - Only Receive Mail

Ubuntu Servers :: Postfix Relay - Exchange Sends The Mail Instead Giving Recipient Mail A Valid Reverse DNS Lookup

Jan 12, 2011

The scenario: We have an external server that runs HTTP/DB servers for out shop system. Then, there's our local, in-house infrastructure that runs a.. yeah... Exchange 2010. The shop system on the external server needs to send mails to customers (order confirmations, invoices, etc.). seing as sending them directly through the local MTA (Postfix) would cause mail delivery problems because of reverse DNS issues, i've set the Postfix MTA to act as a satellite to our in-house Exchange Server, so the Exchange sends the mail instead, giving recipient mail servers a valid reverse DNS lookup.

Now, mails sent by the (proprietary, uneditable) shop system are relayed correctly and sent to the target e-mail address. My problem is: Mails not sent by the shop system, but by our own PHP scripts which run on that same external servers, are NOT relayed properly. So the Exchange is fine with the mails sent by the shop system, but not the mails sent by our scripts. This is what i get in the mail.log: The successfully relayed mail sent by the shop system:

Server :: Configure Postfix To Relay Mail To Multiple Internal Mail Servers With Different Domains?

Aug 6, 2010

Two exchange servers internally. One is setup for example.com (192.168.1.10) and the other is setup for example2.com (192.168.1.20) Both are behind a single public IP.

I want to use postfix to sit in front of the two exchange servers. Postfix will accept mail for both domains and relay to the appropriate server. I have postfix installed with only defaults at this point.

Ubuntu :: Crontab Emails Bounce Others Don't But Are Not Delivered?

Aug 22, 2010

Does anyone know what might be causing the following situation?

Crontab emails are bouncing with the message "Message rejected as spam by Content Filtering." (I've contacted the mail server admin about this.)

But emails sent with the command "mail user@example.com" etc. are "stat=Sent ... Queued mail for delivery" (according to the log), but never arrive and never bounce. I've tried sending as root and as other users.

Ubuntu :: IP Address Cannot Be Accessed Externally?

Apr 22, 2010

I have finished something simple and would like some people to test it, and when I gave my url of my website that sits on my computer to someone, the response was that she kept getting messages saying that connection has been reset. She tried for a couple of times and could not see my website, which the address is accurate.

Are there specific things I need to do to allow users to see my site? Yet, why does she not get messages saying that "failed to access" or something like that?

Networking :: VNC Server - GNOME Desktop Delivered Via VNC Got Frozen

Security :: Iptables Configuration Causes Web Content To Be Delivered 'slow'

Apr 26, 2011

In December 2009 I switched my web-hosting package with 1and1 to their best VPS package. What a difference! At this time I knew absolutely NOTHING about Linux sys admin stuff. Now, I know a little more I now run 'several' VPS instances (all with 1and1). Back to the problem then... On all my boxes I run CentOS 5.5 (Linux 2.6.18-028stab070.4) with various different versions of Plesk (9.5.2 and 10.2.0) The VPS instances themselves are on Virtuozzo nodes. As you may know, Virtuozzo has a firewall GUI allowing modification of iptables. I only use this when I make a mistake and cannot SSH. My 'original' iptables: (the VZ chains are controlled by the Virtuozzo container)

Code:

Chain INPUT (policy DROP)
target prot opt source destination
VZ_INPUT all -- anywhere anywhere
Chain FORWARD (policy DROP)

[code]....

if this iptables chain limits the number of connections to 3 per second and 100 per second respectively, is this still secure or is there no point in having this rule? If the rule is a good one to have, then how can I allow http connections to bypass this chain/rule?

Networking :: Addressing Internally And Externally With A /30?

Jan 27, 2011

It's more just straight networking rather than Linux related - possibly a rather large gap in my knowledge.Been asked to set up a Linux firewall / router for a friend, and he wants an external address on his PC and his firewall. He's got a /30... ISP seem to think this is normal. My understanding was different router interfaces should be in different subnets when it comes to addressing. eg:

WAN 1.1.1.1LAN 192.168.1.1/24 (then PC 192.168.1.2)This is how I'd set up an enterprise router, and from memory how I had to regurgitate networking for my Cisco exams. But they would have been large devices within a BGP environment, how does this compare to home use? Can you have interfaces on the same router within in the same subnet? I'm looking for the real world answer - not my CCNA answer or the config addressing scheme I just blindly followed...Is this right or can different interfaces be in the same subnet?If they can be in different subnets How would you do that with an eternal 1.1.1.1/30? egWAN 1.1.1.1LAN (what IP?) then PC 1.1.1.2Would you actually just set the router up as a /29 and then use the additional IP addresses for the LAN NIC on the router? (yes I'm aware you couldn't route to where it had actually been allocated)

Then with that how do I route the 1.1.1.1/30? Which interface do I point it at? Even with a /29 I'd still have a routing issue right?Or are the ISP expecting you to do something with NAT / port forwarding. (and yes I could do this to get it working - but I want to understand it better) I'm asking the question here, because rather than just wanting a magic file to get things working, I'd actually rather understand the principles rather than just press a button and have it work.

Programming :: GTK+ Externally (to Main Window) Display A Men?

Feb 16, 2010

Usually the menu bar, and menus, are displayed within the applications main window. With a small screen this obviously wastes space so my idea is to reserve a location, small square space probably on a corner, on the screen that when clicked it will pop out the current selected applications menu, allow selection, and then disappear again. The application itself would look fullscreen, or if windowed will still not have a menu bar but access available via the "square."

Likewise instead of the usual task bar and "applications/places/system" menus (ala, ubuntu) a second square would be reserved which would pop-out and show the running tasks, followed by the menus, and allow selection, then disappear. Is this possible with GTK+ as it stands, as I'm guessing that by default everything must be contained within an applications main window?

Although having said that, gimp allows the tool windows to be external to the edited document, so perhaps it would be possible to make the menu bar into a toolbox? I guess the difficult problem would be how to make the currently selected applications "tool square" be on top when there could be multiple applications running. The "tool square" and "task/menu square" could be transparent (maybe just an outline) so that although always there they wouldn't hide any underlying windows/programs/etc.

Basically the idea is to get rid of wasted screen, in ubuntu (on gtk/gnome) a minimum of 5 "bars" is wasted screen real-estate:- 1, Running aplications: 2, Ubuntu's main menu bar: 3, Applications status bar: 4, Applications menu bar: 5, Applications description (min/max/close) bar. Take all the above and replace it with two clickable, potentially invisible, squares say where the default "hide all windows" and "deleted trashcan" icons currently reside.
