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?

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" . "

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?

All my cron jobs are configured to email output to [URL] Text content comes through, just fine. I have several cron jobs that output HMTL, however cron's output email displays the html tags as-is as text, instead of html. example: <br> Anyone got lucky being able to send cron output emails in html format (either by configuring fedora or through command line)? I have tried the following command lines in fedora crontab manager with no luck
TRY 1
CONTENT_TYPE=text/html /usr/bin/php /full/path/myphp.php | mail -s 'email subject' myemail@mydomain.com
(cron executes, but sends email as a text email, not html email)
TRY 2
/usr/bin/php /full/path/myphp.php | mail -s 'email subject' myemail@mydomain.com

I'm having problems with emails containing HTML content. When Google downloads the email messages via POP3 from my squirrelmail server, the message does not display using HTML. I'm not sure if this is Google's fault or Squirrelmail's fault, but I've never had problems before on other servers running the same script and using squirrelmail. If I login to squirrelmail, I have the option to download the email message as an attachment. The attachment, if opened by my local browser, shows up as HTML content, and it is properly formatted. However, I'm using Google to download my emails and file them under my Gmail account. After Gmail downloads the messages, it shows up like this:
From
To admin@domainRemoved.com
Date Sat, Jul 30, 2011 at 6:07 PM
Subject Pending Registration
Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1
From: Name Removed <admin@domainRemoved.com>
Message-Id: <20110730234302.6B6FEDC08BA@eric-desktop>
Date: Sat, 30 Jul 2011 17:43:02 -0600 (MDT)
<p><b> After registering your client via your server, please visit the following URL to send them confirmation: </b></p>
I really need it to show up properly once Gmail downloads the messages, as it takes a long time to login to Squirrel mail and download each message as an attachment. My PHP Code Headers Look like this:
$headers = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . " ";
$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . " ";
$headers .= "From: $uname <$email>";
Someone suggested that I remove the from my script. I did, and now the email shows a from sender as www-data www-data@domain.com. Before, the from field showed up as empty. However, my PHP script is designed to change the sender's information to the clients that contact me. Thus, if customer A contacts me, the email should be from customer A <custa@whatever.com>. However, it's not being changed by the PHP script. It works on every other server but mine. I think my postfix configuration isn't setup properly? What needs to be configured on it?

I need to be able to convert HTML email messages saved as text files (.eml or .msg) to PDF documents, one PDF per email, retaining formatting and images.
Are there any Linux tools that will allow me to do this from the command line (so it can be scripted)?

I'd like to find a way of
1) capturing an RDF formatted RSS feed as a file on my computer
2) converting the result to HTML using local command line tools
I've sorted 1) with wget? I've discovered xsltproc but I'm going round in circles. The master plan is to import my pinboard bookmarks into a static web site produced on my linux box using a handful of clever bash scripts.

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.

I installed sendmail in RHEL5.4 with TrendMicro Spam scan engine. The configuration like sendmail should forward all the mails to scan engine after scanning it will deliver it to the mail domains. same way all the mails coming from external servers are scanned and the delivered to local box. My problem is when i sent mail for local users its delivered locally. but when i sending mail for external like yahoo its going through scan engine. I added the smarthost in sendmail.mc file also.

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.

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:
Delivery to the following recipient has been delayed:

Can anyone tell me what the pros and cons are between heirloom-mailx vs mailutils? This is for ubuntu 10.04 LTS. AT this point my only purpose is to use the mail command line program to occasionally send log output to email aliases.

I have a server (RHEL 4.7) with an mqueue that keeps growing over a two or three day interval. Then I have to manually flush the queue by removing all the mail in the spool directory as the sendmail flush command doesn't work. I've looked at the mail queue manually with a sendmail -bp command and it seems to show an occaisional mail item in the queue. On the other hand, there seems to be a lot more non-legitimate emails in the queue spool. how do I find out the source of the email in the main queue? Next, how do I stop it from building the queue? Next, is there anyway to automatically flush the queue once it builds if I need to?

My setup is two laptops connected by crossover cable. One runs Windows xp the other Fedora 13. Neither is connected to internet. I'm using a subnet of 192.168.1.x On Fedora eth0 is up, apache runs because it creates pidfile. Everything pings fine. Windows xp ip pings fine from command line. Gave Windows xp a static ip of 192.168.1.1 mask 255.255.255.0 and gateway 1.2, same as eth0. xp says it sees the server. eth0 is up.
DirectoryIndex looks at index.html. I created that file with very simple code and put it in document root. Document root permissions are 755. Access_log 770. Error_log 644. Apache User 755. Listen 80 When I type the ip for eth0 (192.168.1.2) into firefox, firefox gives me an error message - can't find server. The connection status says its connected.
The error log includes a line: [warn]./mod_dnssd.c:No services found to register I don't know what this means. Apache is not writing to access_log. When I cat the path to access_log I get nothing, then a command prompt. I'm looking for the part I'm missing that will let Apache serve that index.html file to firefox so I can see how my code looks to firefox as I go.

Sendmail isn't sending mail for some reason and keeping it in the Queue. I attemped to flush them but it deferres the connection to the server in which it is trying to relay the message to. I have checked to see if there is a DNS error or anything like that. I attemped to flush the messages through webmin.
This is the result.
Code:
I am not finding anything in the logs to let me know their is an error. I can ping the mail servers that it is trying to send to. Now it has started delaying when ping MX servers. So I knew something was starting to mess with it. I have checked the /etc/hosts. It is correct. The server isn't black listed. Mail to root just gives me.

I'm thinking of a few ways to do this I'm curious how many better/equal ways there are to do the same task.in a file with format like: 20 text Gi0/2 some other junk I have it reformatted to look like this before going in a database: 0/2 20 text. But for whatever reason some of the new input text looks like this now: 20 text Gi1/0/2 some other junk
My script makes it look like this: 1/0/2 20 text. I want it to remove the leading number and slash if the input file is in the new format.

I have many years of experience with DOS and Windows, but this is my first dabble in Linux, in particular Fedora 13. The OS is great, but my lack of knowledge makes me uneasy. Is there a good book available in HTML or PDF format that covers. The basics, and is relevant to Fedora 13?

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?

I have recently setup a new mail server and have simulated sending and receiving on the new email server. The new email server will replace the primary one.I would like to setup the new email server in parallel with the existing one.This way i can observe issues that might occur and be aware of what could go wrong. I want to received mail to be delivered to both mail servers at the same time.I would like to use postfix, exim i find a bit to difficult to understand.I have thought of using transport maps, the only problem is that you can only forward mail to one server at a time using transport maps.I think recipient_bcc_maps and sender_bcc_maps could work, i would just like ideas of how i can do this.

Right now we send notification emails using a velocity template (apache and java), the thing is that the notification engine call the Email.vm file to add all the information and variables. This process only attach the information (text) on the .vm file.
We need to send that email on html. The thing is that if we write the html code on the file, when the .vm file is called that email includes the code not the result of the html.
We have tried adding the headers and everything.
The question is:
Is there some way that we can pre-process the html code and include to that email the result?
Or can we tell the .vm file that it should be handle as html? (like php for example <?php ?>, the <html> and </html> tags doesn't work.
