I'm going to be setting up a couple of servers for some friends. I'd like them to be able to email me some information after they do some maintenance scripts via cron. I got my own server to send email using a tutorial I found but that involved using my personal gmail account. getting email sending working on ubuntu server with minimal fuss and account credential exposure?

I want to setup an email client in order to send/receive emails, but since i am experiencing some issues with my ISP, i decided to setup an SMTP server with Postfix on my machine.The problem is that i can receive emails but i can not send.I read almost every thread in here refering to Postfix, but i could not find the problem on my configuration.So here it is..
Code:
# See /usr/share/postfix/main.cf.dist for a commented, more complete version
# Debian specific: Specifying a file name will cause the first

I'm looking for a smtp solution that will split all incoming emails and send them to two different servers.
On mail server 1 I have test@example.com
Om mail server 2 (different location than mail server 1) I also have test@example.com
MX-record for example.com should point to mail server 3. Of course there will be a mail server 4 that will do the same as mail server 3. Mail server 3 will receive all incoming mails and forward them to both mail server 1 and 2. This will be a simple and cheap but bullet proof redundancy solution. I'm interested in this solution, have already looked into clusters, backup mx, imap-sync and a ton more of solutions but this is the solution we want. ny one who can point me in the right direction? I've been searching for weeks, the solution exist but I can't find out how to set it up. Not all mail should be forwarded this way, only one example.com, not example2.com or example3.com.
I handle several hundreds of domains. Mails are handled with google apps (but previously I used to have a full postfix/courrier setup with virtualhosting). Now what I need is to be able to send mail (newsletter etc...) from my web servers, but I don't need to receive mail on these servers.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm writing a script that will send an alert email given certain conditions. I have the impression that sendmail is what I need to do that. I just don't know how to use sendmail at all. I assume I have to set it up like a typical mail client so that it has a mail server to log into to send from.
I've looked through the man pages, but I can't find anything in plain English there on how to set it up, or how to use it once it is set up.
I have a static IP from local ISP and my computer is configured with 192.168.1.2 (LAN IP).
I have installed ubuntu server 9.04 and want to send emails from my server for which I've configured postfix. But I dont know what to do next.
My questions are:
1. Do i need to install DNS server for using postfix? If not, what should I install to send emails from this server?
2. Do I need to forward any particular port in my router?
3. If I dont have a fully qualified domain, what are the configurations I need to do to send emails?
Here's what I'm trying to do to complete my rocking development server.
I would like all outgoing email on my Ubuntu server to be redirected to one email address (internal or external). I don't have any mail server installed yet (I'll probably use postfix unless you have another suggestion).
The reason I would like this to work is because I'm a web developer working on multiple projects. When I start working on a new project I would like to be able to test some of the forms and features in the web application (PHP) without having emails sent to the email address configured in the application. I can always change configurations but having my development server forward the emails would save me lots of trouble.
Example:
If one of my php application sends an email to: user1@domain.com, user3@domain4.com... I would like all of them to forward to myemail@domain.com
I have wordpress installed on my VPS, which is running 10.04.1 LTS. I appear to be having an issue whereby the server isn't sending out emails to new users, nor to myself when I get comments on the blog.I'm at a dead end for where to look next, because the settings are exactly the same as they were with my previous VPS (and they were always pretty generic), but yet it doesn't work.
View 5 Replies View RelatedOur main DNS resolves to a windows 2008 server box. What I want to do is have a secondary box with Ubuntu to receive sent emails (our@our.com). The problem my brain cannot get around is the DNS resolves to the windows server 2008 box(which host the website as well), how can we allow the email (ours@ours.com) to go to the Ubuntu email server even though the DNS name resolves to the windows server? We need the Windows Server but just Don't want it hosting our mail.
View 1 Replies View RelatedWe have a number of servers at work, some production and some non-production. We run some java applications on these servers. At present these java applications send emails via an SMTP connection to our live email servers.
In production all is well, the java apps send emails to customers. However, in the non-production environments all emails must not be sent out. Instead they must end up in some kind of generic inbox.
We don't want to mess with the production setup at all and it isn't an option to lose the non-prod emails altogether. So on non-prod we can reference another SMTP server and send all emails there. So far I've set up a postfix, dovecot, squirrelmail email server which appears to work.
how do I config my new email server so that any emails sent from our non-prod server to fred@hotmail.com, bill@yahoo.com, jenny@gmail.com etc all end up in one inbox?

I recently set up exim so that I could test emails sent from my php sites. I have now been getting daily emails that either report errors from cron jobs or report a failure to send emails to root@cory-laptop or cory@cory-laptop about cron errors.I first of all don't want mail sent to the above addresses, because they are obviously not actual email addresses. Second, I'd really prefer not to get emails when an email failed to send to these addresses.

Ever since I set up procmail filtering, all new emails are delivered into a new folder (e.g. msg.XxX) and skip the inbox.
I tried to set LASTFOLDER=INBOX in procmailrc but to no avail.
My procmailrc file is:
PATH=/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin
LOGFILE=/var/log/procmail.log
MAILDIR=$HOME/mail
[Code]....
How do I make procmail deliver to the inbox and not create a new folder for every new email?
BTW, the filter I have setup fails to pipe to script.cgi

View 2 Replies View RelatedI've suddenly stopped getting emails from logwatch which runs on an Ubuntu server daily using cron.After a good day or so of troubleshooting, I was able to establish that it was the 'Service = named' line in my logwatch.conf file, which was stopping the emails from coming through. If I commented out this line, the logwatch emails come through with no issues, uncomment, and I don't get an email. I don't get any error from logwatch itself when I run it, even with '--debug high', leading me to think that my email configuration is setup ok, at least. Furthermore, I tried running logwatch with '--output file --format html' and logwatch produces a valid html file.
I then thought: "Could I have a entry in my Bind/named log files which could be rejected by my ISP's smtp server?". So, (to the best of my knowledge) I cleared out the log files in /var/log that contained messages from named. I then ran logwatch (including the named service in my logwatch.conf file) and I got an email through, with a pretty much empty named section, which is exactly what I anticipated. Great! - it's fixed.
So, the cron.daily ran early this morning, but still no email in my inbox when I got up. I then tried to run 'logwatch --Range today' and lo and behold, I got a logwatch report email, which included a named section, with log entries in there. So it seems that something that's been logged by named overnight to my logfiles (i.e. '--Range yesterday') has caused issues again with logwatch's ability to send reports through my ISP's smtp servers.
I'm running Ubuntu 9.10 on a VPS with linode.I run around 10 sites from this vps and whenever I try to do anything thats related at all to email (such as user registration, contact form submission) the process itself can take anywhere from one to five minutes. I realize that this is most likely due to a misconfiguration with how my email has been set up.

It is the strangest thing. I can not receive emails on this server after it has been up for an hour. I noticed that everytime and email is received that a sshd opens but never closes. Causeing a memory issue that I dont know how to fix. Also the mailq grows and grows. Mostly with email stating the recipient and send are both [URL].. also postmaster@mail.jmchd.com shows mail system configuration error. I have to restart the server every 30 minutes so users can get and send emails. This is horrible because for every 5 minutes out of the hour emails are bouncing.i have looked through them but I know not what I am looking at.
PS. I was thrown into the position and have limited knowledge. I am used to a GUI.
I have a problem with my VPS not being able to send any emails to Yahoo! addresses. Each time someone with a mail account tries to send something to a Yahoo! address, the email stays stuck in the mail queue and a 'delayed mail (still trying)' message is sent back to the user. I understand that Yahoo! has a tendency to block mail servers on a whim, but what I'd like to know is, how can I prevent Postfix from specifically retrying to send emails to Yahoo! mail servers? I don't want to stop retries to other mail servers.

I am attempting to get mail working on a server, and having some trouble. I'm working with sendmail, and I am to the point where I can send and receive mail on the server (from one user account to another), but I cannot send mail from the machine to somewhere else (specifically a Google Apps GMail account).
