Ubuntu Servers :: Sending Mail To External Email (Outside LAN)
Apr 14, 2010
I just setup a mail server on my web server and I cannot for the life of me figure out how to send emails to external (as in outside my LAN) emails or receive from external emails. I'm using Postfix with Dovecot and Squirrelmail. I get this delivery report in Squirrelmail when trying to send an email to my hotmail address.
Final-Recipient: rfc822; example@hotmail.com
Action: failed
Status: 5.0.0
Remote-MTA: dns; mx3.hotmail.com
Diagnostic-Code: smtp; 550 DY-001 Mail rejected by Windows Live Hotmail for policy reasons. We generally do not accept email from dynamic IP's as they are not typically used to deliver unauthenticated SMTP e-mail to an Internet mail server. [URL] maintains lists of dynamic and residential IP addresses. If you are not an email/network admin please contact your E-mail/Internet Service Provider for help. Email/network admins, please visit [URL] for email delivery information and support.

How is it possible to send email using the "mail" program? I tried:
echo "testing" | mail -s "test" myaddress@gmail.com
But nothing happened. I made sure that the sendmail daemon was running before I tried. Is there anything else that I have to set up first?

I come from more of a programming background but have been giving the task of sending backup results from a linux box in an email to external email addresses, I have spent days looking trough google for info but cant seem to find anything simple, I have looked at postfix but because I don't understand networks, hosts, nameservers etc. What I need to do to allow mail get sent from the linux box to external mail address. I have outlook connected to an exchange server on windows and I can ping the linux box from my windows command so surely it cant be to much involved.

My ISP blocks outgoing email if it does not login properly with a valid account. I successfully configured sendmail to use SMART_HOST and confAUTH_OPTIONS with confAUTH_MECHANISM set to LOGIN PLAIN.
It successfully sends email because I tested it with evolution sending through 127.0.0.1, but I need to specify myacount@mydomain.com as the email address for root.
But it doesn't work for logwatch because it sends as from root@localhost.localdomain, and my ISP's smtp server rejects it. The message I get back in root@localhost account is the following:
----- Transcript of session follows -----
... while talking to smtp.mydomain.com.:
>>> MAIL From:<root@localhost.localdomain> SIZE=581 AUTH=<>
<<< 550 5.7.1 Client does not have permissions to send as this sender
554 5.0.0 Service unavailable
I thought that I should masquerade all emails from this domain, so I configured sendmail as specified in [1] section "24.3.1.4. Masquerading", but it doesn't work. It seems that masquerading in sendmail is broken or something is wrong in the documentation.
[1] [URL]
I have sendmail 8.13.8-2 and centos-release-5-4.el5.centos.1.
Is there a way to specify the "From:myacount@mydomain.com" in logwatch ? or Is there a way to make it work the masquerading in sendmail so I can masquerade everything as coming from a specific account?

I'm not sure if this is a server problem or a PHP problem. I've tried the code on other servers and it seems to work - so I assume it's a server problem. I am running it on Ubuntu 10.10.
When run this code, it does not render in HTML on my OSX mail reader:
PHP Code:
<?php$to = "xxx@xxx.com";$subject = "HTML email";$message = "<html><head><title>HTML email</title></head><body><p>This email contains HTML Tags!</p><table><tr><th>Firstname</th><th>Lastname</th></tr><tr><td>John</td><td>Doe</td></tr></table></body></html>";// Always set content-type when sending HTML email$headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0" . "

I am looking to use Citadel in my machine, some questions come to mind before I install it again on my new server.
Can this tool support phpBB sending mail for activations etc?
Can I use CLI mail commands?
I have noted it can support a vast number of domains.

I've set up a mail server using Postfix + dovecot. It works just fine sending email to users in my domain. However, I can't send email to external domains (like gmail, yahoo, etc) different than mine. I've tried sending from a remote connection using Evolution and I get the following message on mail.log

I have been trying to solve this problem for two days now looking at various forums and websites but can't really figure out what's going on here.I have setup postfix on my ubuntu and I can send emails using "telnet localhost 25" and the ehlo thingy. Apache can also send emails. My problem is with incoming emails. When I try to send an email (through Gmail) I get the following error message:
Code:

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?

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 two servers relavant here: mail.domain.com (1.1.1.1) - which is the nameserver and the mail server for domain.com. www.domain.com (2.2.2.2) - which is the www subdomain for domain.com domain.com (cname www.domain.com) - an alias for www.
The zone file for domain.com lists mail.domain.com as the MX server for domain.com. 2.2.2.2 is actually being served web pages as a virtual host. It's real hostname is www.anotherdomain.com. Mail for domain.com works pretty well, in general. However, if I attempt to send mail from www.domain.com (or its alias domain.com), I get "mail for domain.com loops back to myself" in the postfix logs. On 2.2.2.2 /etc/postfix/mail.cf has mydestination = www.anotherdomain.com, localhost. How do I tell postfix on 2.2.2.2 that mail for domain.com needs to be delivered to mail.domain.com?

Basically, I think my Internet crashed while sending an email via Evolution and now whenever I open Evolution, or try and receive any new email it just sits there sending this email - it reaches 100% so I can only assume it has actually sent the email.
There's a button to "Cancel the current mail operation" though it doesn't appear to be doing anything; the email is still being "sent" each time.
This would be pretty tedious for the guy I sent the email to.
Has anyone had similar issues and knows of a fix?

How can I send an email from localhost via the terminal? I don't need pop just smtp. I believe this can be done with postfix which I have just installed but what is the command to input via the terminal, on my centos box I use the following to send the contents of some files which works just fine but what about sending through postfix on ubuntu?
Code:
sudo tail -50 /home/user/.bash_history | mail -s "bash history" email@mail.com

I'm trying to send an email using mailx, in a bash script, but I can't get it to work. In the terminal I can, and this is how I do it:
Code:
$ mailx johndoe@gmail.com
Message^D
Within seconds of doing this, I get sent an email. The problem is with the bash script I'm trying to make. Among other things, I tried this:
Code:
#!/bin/bash mailx johndoe@gmail.com < "Message" I honestly don't know what I'm supposed to do, and I've Googled a bunch of things too, and didn't have too much luck. Is there anyone who could help me out?
Edit: Figured it out. This is what I did, and it works for me:
Code:
#!/bin/bash
echo "Message" | mail -s "Subject" "johndoe@gmail.com"

Sent an email by using telnet on port 25 from the terminal. Telnet states my message was sent but I never got it. Is it on the hard disk somewhere. Is there a log file? Where did my email go? Did it go into the ehter? I opened port 25 on my firewall through gnome by selecting 25/smpt checkbox as a trusted service.
