General :: Copy And Forward Email To Multiple Email Servers Using Postfix?

Dec 31, 2009

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?

Jun 19, 2010

After upgrading from a working 9.10 system to 10.04 Postfix has stopped delivery email to users. Sending email is fine and IMAP(s) and POP are working fine but receiving messages now get the follwing message

Ubuntu Servers :: [postfix] Sent Email Returns To Inbox?

Jan 27, 2011

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.

Ubuntu Servers :: Berkeley Db Database For Virtual Users?

Jan 31, 2011

Im configuring virtual users for ftp and in few guides i find that i need this database.This guides were outdated so i cant follow them(by downloading with its commands), can anyone explain me something about this db(like, where to download, how, did i have installed other version of this db with ubuntu server default packages)...By the way i need to create login file with users and their passwords, for example:tomfoofredbar
Then i must create actual database file like this:

Code:
db_load -T -t hash -f logins.txt /etc/vsftpd_login.db
(that requires the Berkeley db program installed)

Ubuntu Servers :: Postfix Maildir - Get Email To Forward To Other Accounts?

Apr 8, 2010

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.

Ubuntu Servers :: Installed Postfix Setup - Can't Access Email

Nov 20, 2010

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

Ubuntu Servers :: Dovecot/Postfix Cannot Receive Email Via Client?

Apr 12, 2011

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?

Fedora Servers :: Postfix Does Not Receive External Email

Jan 14, 2010

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

Ubuntu Servers :: Setup Postfix To Relay Email It Cannot Deliver Locally?

Jul 17, 2011

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.

Fedora Servers :: Email Sender Address - Postfix / Dovecot Etc

May 21, 2009

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?

Ubuntu Servers :: Postfix - Stop All Users From Getting Mailbox?

Mar 13, 2011

I'm just getting started with postfix for the first time (using courier pop) and everything is working well. However I can't seem to figure out how to only allow some system users to have mailboxes?

For example I have a few accounts which are FTP only accounts but they still have mailboxes under postfix? Is there any way to tell postfix the accounts that I actually want mailboxes for?

Also on a side note, I notice that mail seems to be stored under the user's home directory. I'm scared they may accidentally delete them.

Ubuntu Servers :: Postfix Connection Refused - Email Bounces Back To Sender

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:

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:

alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases
append_dot_mydomain = no
biff = no

Ubuntu Servers :: Postfix 'status=bounced' Unable To Send Email To A Domain?

Sep 8, 2010

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>

How do I tell postfix that mydomain.co.nz is to be sent to Google email server?

Fedora Servers :: Postfix With System Users

Oct 28, 2009

Alright I have read through and tried many different tutorials but a VAST majority of them are with virtual users. This is my own personal email server so virtual users is unneccessary when I can just use the users personal mailbox.

My postfix main.cf there are 2 things I am unsure of. 1) For system users which local_recipiant_maps do i use? 2) What should mynetworks be?As I have been testing it out through telnet I can send mail but it doesnt get to my test email (a gmail account) and when i try to send an email locally it seems that everything works fine but the mail doesnt get there, and the error i am getting is that it cant find the user.

Ubuntu Servers :: Postfix Adds Trailing Slash To Users?

May 11, 2011

I followed this tutorial to setup a mail server, followed it to the letter, double/triple/quadruple checked everything for human error, and I can't find anything.[URL].. What's happening is it seems that postfix is adding a trailing slash to usernames when it does the user lookup, so they don't exist and then fail. I've attached the log below.

Code:
May 11 01:06:27 vmail postfix/smtpd[1688]: connect from localhost[127.0.0.1]
May 11 01:06:55 vmail postfix/smtpd[1688]: 3372E982BC: client=localhost[127.0.0.1]

Fedora Servers :: Configure Email Address Alias Using Regular Expression In Postfix?

Mar 8, 2010

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.

Ubuntu Servers :: Postfix Sender Spoofing - Implement Some Address Mapping To Users?

Feb 8, 2010

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.

Server :: Updated Postfix Not Running After Transferring Over Users From Older Postfix?

Feb 25, 2011

I recently moved over user from an old box running postfix(v 2.0.16) over to rhel 6 running postfix (v mail_version = 2.6.6). ive tried to make sure all the files are of correct permissions and that the main.cf file is configured corectly. However there is something wrong as when i run postfix: service postfix server i get no error but when checking the status:service postfix status i get: master dead but pid file exists Looking into /var/log/mailog i find this line being the issue:

Feb 25 16:24:39 puny1 postfix/master[3517]: fatal: fifo_listen: create fifo public/pickup: Permission denied

I gather this is a file permission issue and ive tried to make sure the public folder in /var/spool/postfix is correctly set but still no avail.

Server :: Routing Inbound Email To Multiple Email Servers?

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.

General :: Send Email Using Postfix

Jul 24, 2010

Currently i'm figuring out how to send email notifications to users when services went down in Nagios. I know i need to install and configure Postfix, which i did already. I assume that when i configured to point it to "Satellite mail system" is the correct one instead of other things like "Internet.." etc. So the configurations is when you have installed the Postfix and there would pop a lot of questions right? Other than that, what have i missed?

Oh ya, i remember something. Hmm. I do not have any so-called real smtp server so would that be alright? I heard that installed and getting the Postfix running would be enough as it serves as a MTA (mail transfer agent). So if i do not have any smtp server, the relay host= ' ' what should i put it as?
