Ubuntu :: Terminal Sending Emails From Invalid Address

Apr 27, 2011

When I am using Mailutils to send messages to myself as a test, I get them but they are from <"ryandward@ryandward"@gmail.com> which is not a valid email address and I have no idea why my system is configured to send them from this address. This is indicative of some problem there is going on in my system.

Ubuntu :: Postfix Not Sending Emails?

Jan 18, 2010

i'm not a techie but have tried my best to solve the issue without success. 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?

Ubuntu :: Root Job Sending Multiple Emails?

Feb 25, 2010

I have an rsync backup job scripted and run by cron at 12:00 every day. It emails me the log from rsync. The problem is that it sends the same email every minute starting at 12:00 and ending at 1:00. I can't figure out what I did to cause this. It is not happening on my other ubuntu server.

Code:
# m h dom mon dow command
* 12 * * 1,2,3,4,5 /home/barry/bin/backup.sh > /dev/null
Code:
#!/bin/sh
rsync -aut /usr/share/library /mnt/backup/WordPress > /home/barry/backup.log

Ubuntu Servers :: 10.04.1 Server Not Sending Out Emails

Oct 12, 2010

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.

Fedora :: Evolution Temporarily Not Sending Emails?

Jun 21, 2010

i've got Evolution as an email client in Fedora 12.ve got only one IMAP account configured, which seems to be working OK. However, temporarily it is not sending emails. I write an email and hit send/receive and get error. "Error while sending message" ir seems that it is downloading messages, but not sending. There is a quick, but annoying solution to it: restart Evolution. As soon as it is restarted (close and ope the application) it is working OK for some time.

Security :: Server Hacked - Finding Process Behind Sending Emails

Jun 13, 2011

I just got control over a server that was hacked several months back. The other day we started receiving rejected emails sent from my server to a yahoo email address that is no longer active that contained users login information. I am trying to find the process that is sending these emails. So far its been like finding a needle in a haystack. The email that is being sent is appending the login information each time it is sent so there must be a local file that contains this information. I have tried using grep and find without any luck.

Server :: Sendmail Is Sending Unnecessary Multiple Copies Of Emails From Php

Jan 7, 2010

I have a 64bit linux server with 5 virtual hosts on it. When someone fills out a contact form on one of the sites...I get 15-20 copies of the same email. At first I thought it was the kids clicking send multiple times because the first emails were coming from the children's ministry "Email The Cast" section. But then I started getting multiples from the adult sites too. All contact forms are set to come to me.

What's stranger is that my registration section for one of the sites uses the SAME php script (different file) to email me a notification that someone has registered but I only get 1 copy of that.

Debian Configuration :: Cron Sending Emails With Plain Text Password?

Sep 5, 2011

Since we switched our server to Squeeze, I'm receiving emails from the cron about a mysql error (...can't use locks with log tables). But this is not the issue I want to talk about here. The issue is that since the executed command is: /usr/bin/mysqlcheck -uroot -pmypassword --all-databases --check-only-changed --silent which is a command that was automatically added to the cron by the mysql package (I believe), the password is sent in clear text in the email's subject. In my sense, this is a serious security issue (sending root password in email subject...)

I don't know at what level it should be corrected, but it seems to me like it should be corrected in the Debian distrib, shouldn't it ?

And for now, how can I hide the password in the emails I receive ?

CentOS 5 Server :: All Emails Go To One Address?

Apr 6, 2011

I am working for the first time on a dedicated server with CentOS. I have sendmail and postifx installed and I realized all the emails send by the server are redirected to my own private address.

For example if I want to send an email to "luc@test.com", I will receive it in my box (ex "paulin@gmail.com")... I also receive in my box the logwatch which should be send to root@serverblabla.live-servers.net

That is very strange and I really don't understand what does that.

Ubuntu Servers :: Get Email Address Pushing Emails Out To Phone?

Mar 26, 2010

I have a domain hosted with some remote host where I pay $10 a month and they provide me with, among other things, a bunch of email addresses. One of these addresses is my default address I use for everything and is blackberry@mydomain.com. I no longer have a Blackberry, I switched over to a HTC Hero with Google Android so I'm wondering how I could get that email address pushing emails out to my phone. Android supports Exchange but the licenses are too expensive for me. Is there an Ubuntu alternative to make this work somehow?

Ubuntu :: WOL On Acer Revo- MAC Address Invalid?

May 30, 2010

xbmc 9.11 HTPC (confluence skin) on an acer revo 3610 running ubuntu 9.10 can someone possibly help me as I cannot get WOL to work. Went into BIOS under power management and enabled WOL.I have used this guide to set up. HOWTO: Set your system up for Wake On LAN (WOL my ipconfig is

Quote:
xbmc@xbmc-desktop:~$ ifconfig
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 90:fb:a6:2c:b2:1f

[Code]...

I then tried to follow this guide HOW-TO set up Wake-On-Lan (Ubuntu) and followed those steps also still nothing. I deleted this script however as it did nothing and didnt want to have two scripts that might be interfering with each other.How can I check that the magic packs are being received by the computer? I think it has something to do with the MAC address but Im a linux noob and gettng kinda lost now, ANY help would be much appreciated. I also have a another linux computer hooked up on the network to test however I want to WOL via the internet incase I am traveling and need to wake up my htpc. Can anyone please help me as I think I have the scrips installed and Im just not doing something simple like configuring the magic packs correctly to send the information.

Ubuntu Networking :: Invalid MAC Address Detected?

I've just installed a fresh copy of Maverick Meerkat 64bit and I wanted to setup static ip, but unfortunately I can't because of invalid mac address detection during each startup. The message looks like this

Code:

Ubuntu :: SCSI Error On Write (16,16): [5 21 02] Invalid Address

I've lost 6 CD-R's to this error. I have no idea what the hell could be wrong. I do not have a SCSI interface in this unit, but no matter, when ever I try to burn a cd it starts and then spits out this error; "SCSI error on write(16,16): [5 21 02] Invalid address" The log from the first attempt to burn that fails. Just before this I had burned a CD and the only problem was it couldn't eject it at the end.

Ubuntu Servers :: Delete Emails On Server Via Terminal?

We have a load of undeliverable emails backed up on the server. The problem we have is that the server we purchased from a well known host is rubbish. It does not matter how many times we use outlook to get the emails off the server, it just keeps timing out.Question I want to ask is:1) How can I view the number of emails on the server via the terminal2) How do I then delete these directly off the server via the terminal

Server :: Stop Root Sending Email To A Private Address?

Nov 4, 2010

system is RedHat v4. I removed root: admin-name@domain from /etc/aliases then ran /usr/bin/newaliases.

The admin does not get the emails but now the email generated by the cronjobs is being sent to my-name@domain outlook email from "root@localhost.localddomain". No other changes were made. Where should I start looking for the definition of sent crontab email to my-name@domain?

CentOS 5 Server :: Sending Logwatch To External Mail Address?

Nov 4, 2009

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?

Debian Configuration :: Raspbian On Raspberry Pi Always Get A Invalid IP Address

Jan 7, 2016

I got the Raspberry pi 2 Model B. I flashed my sdcard with raspberian Jessie kernel 4.1 (latest).Also tried wheezy and NOOBS, same behavior.With a ethernet cable (known working), I tried connecting my Pi to my home router, and I got a invalid ip address 169.254.xxx.xxx, and therefore no linkup. I got the same results by connecting my Pi directly to my modem (wired).

I know that /etc/dhcpd.conf is the new /etc/network/interfaces for network configurations.So I tried the debug option, and I noticed that the router doesn't seems to response to the DISCOVER command from the Pi (dhcp v4 protocol).Here's a dump of by /var/log/syslog | grep dhcp

Code: Select allDec 28 12:00:02 raspberrypi systemd[1]: Starting dhcpcd on all interfaces...
Dec 28 12:00:02 raspberrypi dhcpcd[349]: version 6.7.1 starting

ANd if i use raspbian flesh out of installation, I get this when i run

dhcpcd -k
dhcpcd eth0
eth0: probing for an IPv4ALL address
eth0: using IPv4ALL address 169.154.202.224

Seems like my home router TP-link (default setup) doesn't send a response to the dhcp request.
