Ubuntu Servers :: Postfix Connection Refused - Email Bounces Back To Sender
Aug 8, 2010
I'm testing my mail server, and sending email works fine. However, when I tried to send emails to my server from gmail, I get this log:
Code:
Aug 8 14:18:17 anbient postfix/smtpd[14228]: warning: database /etc/postfix/virtual.db is older than source file /etc/postfix/virtual
Aug 8 14:18:17 anbient postfix/smtpd[14228]: connect from mail-qy0-f169.google.com[209.85.216.169]

Aug 8 14:18:18 anbient postfix/smtp[9995]: connect to net[174.132.240.146]:25: Connection refused
Aug 8 14:18:18 anbient postfix/smtp[9995]: F3D4B1DD02C0: to=<fidelix@net>, orig_to=<eu@felipefidelix.com>, relay=none, delay=0.15, delays=0.09/0/0.05/0, dsn=4.4.1, status=deferred (connect to net[174.132.240.146]:25: Connection refused)
And this is strange. 174.132.240.146 seems to be the web address 'net.net'. I am sure this has to be some setting in postfix, cuz its trying to deliver the email to 'fidelix@net', and that cant be right.
Here is my postconf -n output:
Code:
root@anbient:/var/mail# postconf -n
alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases
alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases
append_dot_mydomain = no
biff = no
broken_sasl_auth_clients = yes
config_directory = /etc/postfix
home_mailbox = Maildir/ .....

I have an email server configured with postfix, dovecot, saslauthd and squirrelmail. It works great. In fact I'd even say it works too well: in squirrelmail, I can configure any sender address and my server will accept it. Message will be sent, wether the sender's address is [URL] or [URL]. Is there any way of limiting it in such way that only [URL] is accepted as sender's address?

I'm looking for a way to redirect e-mail with postfix based on sender AND recipient. What I want: Let's say I have 3 users:
[code]....
and an external address, let`s call it [URL] sends e-mails every day to andy, mark and john Now, MARK and JOHN, need the e-mail sent by [URL], but TOM doesn't need it. Is there a way to redirect ONLY the e-mail sent to TOM from [URL], to some other address, let`s say [URL] without affecting the e-mail received by MARK and JOHN? Unfortunately using SENDER ACCESS redirects ALL e-mail from [URL]

I've set up an email server as per this howto: [url]
In a nutshell, it uses a combinatio of postfix, dovecot, amavis (ClamAV and SpamAssisan) and mysql.
However, with this setup, authenticated users are able to spoof outgoing message by simple changing the "from" tag.
Does anyone have any ideas on how I could implement some address mapping to users?
In this setup, postfix users are NOT system users, by are stored in the database.

I have just built a new postifx open relay server to allow my ISP clients to send emails. During testing of the SMPT protocol, I can managed to send emails to my localhost however, I can't send emails to other external mail server. Below is a test to a yahoo account. Aug 7 15:03:55 mx2 postfix/smtp[4050]: connect to g.mx.mail.yahoo.com[98.137.54.238]: Connection refused (port 25) Aug 7 15:03:55 mx2 postfix/smtp[4050]: F084EC8D76: to=<ellyu4@yahoo.com>, relay=none, delay=8.5, delays=1.2/0.05/7.3/0, dsn=4.4.1, status=deferred (connect to g.mx.mail.yahoo.com[98.137.54.238]: Connection refused)

I have an email setup where all of the emails from our email host is downloaded to our Linux server using Fetchmail. Then some of the incoming emails are sent to an MS exchange server (server1.domain.com) using Postfix. What i want to do is to send a copy of all emails to Another server (server2.domain.com) for redundancy.Can postfix be configured to send copies out to both?

Connecting remotely through FileZilla works ok, but I can't connect from localhost (FWIW I'm running WordPress and would like to be able to upload plugins from the dashboard).
I've got vsFPTPd installed and - I think - running:
Code:
# service vsftpd start
vsftpd start/running, process 25782
All ok so far... however I can't see it on any of my ports:
Code:
# nmap localhost
Not shown: 995 closed ports
PORT STATE SERVICE
22/tcp open ssh
[code]....
And of course if I
Code:
telnet localhost:21
That's 'Connection refused...'
Nothing in 'netstat --listen' either.
The odd thing is, I can connect fine using FileZilla.
To confirm, I have
Code:
local_enable=YES
set in my vsftpd.conf.

I'm running ubuntu 10.04 as a server that hosts a website and our email. I set up the email (Postfix) to work with Dovecot to enable IMAP and POP support.The mails can be retrieved and sent through this server with no hassles. We just have an issue that all emails sent via a client to any other address (be it on the same domain or not) will return to the inbox of that client.So basically, I open MS Outlook. Click new message and send it off to my GMail address. After I send it, it pops into my inbox on Outlook (stating that it came from me). The intended recipient also gets the message.

I have a new Ubuntu server (10.10), named Denholm, recently installed and updated. I came in this morning, attempted to add a package with apt-get, and got a "Connection refused" response. I have another server (also 10.10), named Moss, on the same network that can connect successfully.
Here's what I've found/tried so far:
This doesn't look like and apt problem anyway, but the sources.list files on Denholm and Moss are identical.
I can ping [URL] (and other sites) successfully from Denholm.
I have tried 'wget www.google.com'. From Moss the wget is successful, but from Denholm I get "Connection refused."
I have a web server on Moss and Denholm can successfully access it.
To the best of my knowledge, Denholm is not configured to use a proxy server (no http_proxy variable set).

I recently Re-did my Postfix configuration using [URL] The thing that that guide did not tell me was how to get email to forward to other accounts or if I can point multiple accounts to the same place like here:
[Code]...
finally I tried putting a .forward record in /home/vmail/domain.com/username directory which didn't work either.

I installed Postfix, Amavis-new + Spamassassin + Clamav, Dovecot, and SquirrelMail today, using the Ubuntu guides for each. I have 10.04 LTS Server. My PHP scripts can send email, but when I tried to log into Squirrelmail, I couldn't. Here is what my error log produced (the server name and user name have been changed) :
Code:
myserver dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<username>, method=PLAIN, rip=127.0.0.1, lip=127.0.0.1, secured
myserver dovecot: IMAP(username): opendir(/home/username/Maildir) failed: Permission

I have a very basic install of dovecot and postfix on the latest version of Ubuntu server. This is an internal only email server with internal only DNS. I can send email via clients and check said emails via the command line when logged in as the appropriate user. I cannot for the life of me check said emails via SquirrelMail on the server nor using IMAP clients. I have no idea where to look and I can't find a basic tutorial for the life of me. Where should I start?

I have been running an email server on a Red Hat 9 system for 5 years, and wanting to upgrade it to the latest Fedora OS. A few days ago it crashed. The server is running Fedora 11 (up-to-date). Clients are Fedora 11 and Windows XP machines using Thunderbird for accessing email. The server is running Postfix and Dovecot. Within my local network I can send and receive emails. I can also send email to addresses outside of my local network. The only problem is that I cannot receive any email from outside the local network. I cannot think of anything aside from my firewall (iptables) or postfix config that could be causing the problem.
Below are my iptables file, and the postfix main.cf changes that I have made.
Iptables (the same file I was using on Red Hat version 9 with one minor deprecated syntax changed):
*nat
:PREROUTING ACCEPT [22:1894]
:POSTROUTING ACCEPT [14:840]
:OUTPUT ACCEPT [17:1356]
-A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE
COMMIT
*filter .....

I have sendmail running (quite well) on my ubuntu box. It worksfine with Thunderbird locally. It runs fine with a few other MUAson (allowed) remote machines. It has one small problem I have notbeen able to clear up: it will not send mail that is initiated bythe 'mail' program locally. It gives me a "[127.0.0.1 connectionrefused] error in the logs. The /etc/hosts file is fine (as faras I know). The sendmail.cf file has been rebuilt from sendmeil.mc.'hostname' and 'dnsdomainname' return proper values. Okay, I'mstumped and looking for another set of eyes on the problem.

I'm trying to setup postfix (or exim, I don't mind which), so I can move away my last remaining PC from Windows.I've tinkered with Postfix for good part of a month and I can get it to accept emails using SMTP and post them to a virtual mailbox based on MySQL tables. And it rejects mail addressed to local email addresses that it can't find in the table.
First question (or problem.) I've set up Postfix to relay email it cannot deliver locally such as is the case when you send out an email. My remote host requires authentication. How can I set this up?
Second question: I want to force my clients to use either AUTH, TLS or SSL, and not allow anonymous connections (to prevent an open relay server.) How do I set that up without interfering with the smarthost setting? The smarthost login is not one of my clients, it's a pre-determined login and password that is solely used for the email relaying aspect.

I downloaded the ubuntu server (command line only) iso and set up a server on a spare computer. The only partition is ubuntu. LAMP server installed, and runs. Its plugged into my home network and the router assigns it a DMZ. I use ptty and that allows me to connect the server from my Windows PC. I installed samba and that works, I set up the server as Z: to my windows PC, and I can now use Filezilla FTP to move gigs of files over from my windows PC to the ubuntu server. I have to log in to activate the connection to Z: but it works.
Problem is getting a database connection from my windows PC (client) to my ubuntu server. Server is running a MySQL server and an Apache Derby server but both give connection:refused every time I try to connect with a java app, or with ij from my client. I tried MySQL Workbench, as that has a GUI, that doesnt connect to MySQL either. Every time I start my server I have to add lots of jar files to the CLASSPATH just to get the Derby server running. The Derby client connection on my client PC is also properly set up with PATH and CLASSPATH etc etc all configured and tested. But the server refuses every attempt to connect even though it tells you the Derby server is up and runnign as listening on port 1527!!!
What I want is a script or app that will "unlock" my server so I can actually do something with it instead of constantly trying new settings and packages in the vain hope it will then actually 'serve'. I am missing something here. There is nothing of value on this server that cannot be 'exposed' to the internet, so I'd be happy to turn off all the security just so the damn thing allowed connections...!

After a reboot of my VPS, I keep getting the following error when sending email to my domain (hosted on Google Email). I can send to other email addresses but my own. So it seems like postfix thinks all mydomain.co.nz is to be sent internally?
Sep 9 09:25:05 mydomain postfix/pickup[20784]: 0316C3CC68: uid=1000 from=<sidb>
Sep 9 09:25:05 mydomain postfix/cleanup[20806]: 0316C3CC68: message-id=<20100908212505.0316C3CC68@mydomain.co.nz>
Sep 9 09:25:05 mydomain postfix/qmgr[20783]: 0316C3CC68: from=<sidb@mydomain.co.nz>, size=326, nrcpt=1 (queue active)[code].....
How do I tell postfix that mydomain.co.nz is to be sent to Google email server?

I am experiencing a bit of a problem with openssh-server. I installed the server like I normally do. It wouldn't work, so I tried using this. It still didn't work. Later, I have realised that when using service sshd start SSH says it started, but when you check if it's running with service sshd status it says it doesn'triend advised me to use /etc/init.d/sshd and I managed to get it started. However, that doesn't return anything, and when I try to connect it says connection refused even when I try to connect from localhost to localhost

I have FileZilla installed on this machine, and OpenSSH (with an open port 22) on another machine on my home network. When I try and connect, I get: Quote: Status:Connecting to 192.168.2.3... Response:fzSftp started Command: open "alphatwo@192.168.2.3" 22 Error:Connection refused Error:Could not connect to server
Which has left me puzzled as I have an open port. Does the username have to be defined somewhere? E.g. the machine acting as my SFTP server can be logged on to locally as alphatwo so that's what I logged in as (with the correct password). Is this correct? If so, does anyone have any ideas as to how I might rectify it? I want SFTP set up so I can copy PHP files from my laptop to /var/www/html/ on another PC (across the home network).

I am trying to configure virtual alias using regular expression.
For example :
Email send to user.1@example.com and user.2@example.com will deliver to user mailbox.
Email send to user2.1@example.com and user2.2@example.com will deliver to user2 mailbox.
And the numbers or alphabet in between user name and the domain will be vary , I can't just do a normal alias.
I been try to play around with main.cf and the virtual alias table but still not able to get work. So I am not sure is the main.cf didnt configure correctly or the regular expression is not working.

I want a mail server that can relay mails to the internet using GMail and fetch the mails of different accounts into the mail server and distribute them to their respective users. I am using Postfix, Fetchmail and Dovecot. I have a PC with 3 users.I use the PC having Ubuntu 9.04 and share the internet. We all send mail and retrieve mail. We do use Evolution and Mutt sometimes. We want to send our mails with our email_ids without even logging in.
Hostname
mail.myhomepc.com
Domain
myhomepc.com
[code]....
I have created my custom certificate using SSL. I've created the Postfix's main.cf file following a tutorial on the net. Currently mails are going fine, but with our local email_ids. I want Postfix to rewrite our local email_ids with the equivalent email_id on the net.

I need to have a postfix server to rewrite the sender's address. For example, if the sender is: [URL], then the recipient would receive all emails from [URL] as [URL]. I tried using the generic file and created a table out of it, but this did not work:
postmap /etc/postfix/generic
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 9977 Dec 27 15:24 generic
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 12288 Dec 27 15:25 generic.db
I added this line to the generic text file:
[code]....
I am running two boxes with postfix 2.3.3. and 2.1.1 respectively. Both need this configuration. I also added this line:
smtp_generic_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/generic
on the main.cf file. However, this did not work. The one running postfix 2.3.3 is on Centos 5.5, the other one is on SuSe Enterprise 9.

Ubuntu 9.04 - recently, I have been getting a newsletter from a certain sender. If I select the mail even to delete it ( not opening it ) Evolution promptly shuts down.
So long as I don't even put the mouse cursor on the offending mails, there is no problem. Now, I am building up a nice collection of unread mails which I cannot delete.
