I recently upgrade my server from Jaunty to Lucid. The mail command no longer works for my scripts, so I installed mailutils. However, when I try to run mail, it doesn't seem to find it:
Code:
/home/frank# apt-get install mailutils
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
[Code]...
I have installed the package mailutils by following command:
sudo apt-get install mailutils
Now I want to send mail using the following format:
$mail <username>@gmail.com
I am doing the normal procedures but the mail is not sent.
So I installed and configured nut. used the help of 2 tutorials, [URL].. But I got most of just reading the comments in the /etc/nut configfiles and modifying them as described there (tut's where slightly outdated) .
So I pull out the plug and nothing happens. The script I invoke with the nut user returns a execute error 127 (shows in daemon.log). So I execute the command (with argument) as my user, and that works. when executing it as the nut user I get.
Code:
Cannot open `/root/.mailrc': Permission denied
This because I invoke a mail command by the script.
Code:
echo "Spanning is weg! Da spel wordt hier afgesloten als de batterie plat is!" | /usr/bin/mail -s"UPS monitor" mutrax@localhost
So My question is simple. How do I get nut mailing without to much risk? It'll probeably be something simple, but I don't want to grant evry troublesom thing admin rights. Anyway, If someone is intrested how I configured nut, I'll be glad to post it here.
Evolution e-mail has stopped working. Un-installed everything evolution using Synaptic and re-installed. No change: address book comes up but mail, calendar etc do not work. Clicking on any causes gray out and leads to a force quit. So how do I un-install evolution completely and then re-install as a completely fresh install. I am using Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx.

I am running CentOS 5.5 and am trying to get Nagios to send out Emails.
After a bit of reading I have the following in my /etc/mail.rc file:
Code:
[root@linux ~]# cat /etc/mail.rc
set ask askcc append dot save crt
ignore Received Message-Id Resent-Message-Id Status Mail-From Return-Path Via
set smtp=172.29.1.76
You have new mail in /var/spool/mail/root
[root@linux ~]#
I have Nagios setup correctly and introduced an error to generate an Email but nothing has come through.I suppose I have two questions:
1. Is mail.rc setup correctly?
2. Can I test to see if mail.rc is working correctly?
I have a Dell Latitude D530 Laptop (500 GB HDD). Installed Windows XP and then Ubuntu 10.10 to do dual boot. everything works fine in Windows XP.In Ubuntu 10.10 I had issues connecting to Internet(Through Wirelss), I was able to rectify this issue by dsiable ipv6 from firefox about:config and setting true to network.dns.disableIPv6. After this I was able to connect to internet and browse websites from Firefox.But I am having Issues with Evolution Mail(Connection Timed Out) and Google Talk Client(Connection Timed Out).Empathy Internet Messaging gets connected fine.I was wondering if I will have to disable IPv6 System wide and hence I added the following lines to /etc/sysctl.conf
#disable ipv6
net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6 = 1
net.ipv6.conf.default.disable_ipv6 = 1

View 4 Replies View RelatedI am using ubuntu since Intrepid Ibex. Since then I have learnt a lot and just recently setup my own home/web server. I am running my LAMP server on Karmic. I have been slowly transferring my website from my current hosting company to my server. Got everything working except the PHP mail() function is not working. I do not get any error messages but the mail does not reach. /etc/log/mail.log is blank.
I basically clueless about where to start. I did not install a mail server. Is this the reason? Should I check something in phpinfo() or the php.conf? I do not have sendmail/postfix installed.
I'm using Evolution in KDE and everything's working well except for the notifications (calendar and new mail particularly). I'm guessing those are in different packages? how to get these running? Oh and one more thing, regardless of my default browser, evolution opens things up in rekonq by default. How might I get this working for firefox?

Meanwhile the server mail is not working.
Installing PHPMailer v.5 (server running php5) with SMTP function. I have installed the main files in mail directory such as: # class.phpmailer.php: This is the main class file which contains the various email functions.# class.smtp.php: This additional class allows SMTP authentication.I don't think I need class.pop3.php as I'm sending mails server side (smtp)and should be accepted by most IP's pop3 servers.
All my mail functions work great with SMTP and I can send and receive. My problem is that my recipients only receive mail from admin@domain instead of "My Website Name" Sounds simple enough, I know and I have made adjustments to class.phpmailer.php and have inserted my specific mail attributes for my site such as mail address, mail from, smtp server, user/pass for smtp,etc.PHP Mailer v5.0 class.phpmailer.php is a very long script and I only found a couple of places to put the FROM address as follows:
PROPERTIES,

I built the system with one name and now want to change it.I do the usual things. change the /etc/hosts file change the hostname with the command hostname newname changed /etc/sysconfig/network and then mail stops working. Put it back to the old name and it works fine.So I am guessing I am missing something in the configuration for sendmail. I checked the sendmail.cf file under /etc/mail and no reference back to the hostname was found.I also tried the GUI on the console to change the hostbname.

Our primary mail server is Exchange 2003 Standard on Windows Server 2003 Standard - don't shout at me; I inherited it already set up this way.I have a couple of hardware identical redundant servers (HP ML350 boxes), all with very fast 2 or 4 disk arrays, multiple core CPUs and plenty of memory, and I am looking at two potential new additions to the infrastructure.
A secondary mail server is high on my list of priories. I've been well and truly bitten by Exchange in the past and given that this particular box has been running four years straight and that it's mail store is dangerously large, having a secondary mail server in place suddenly makes a lot of sense.
A new Exchange 2010 box is currently being set up, but the secondary mail server will remain in place even when the new Exchange server is brought online, so this won't be a wasted exercise.... I also want a gateway box in place to filter and relay mail to the primary server, or to the secondary server if the primary is unavailable. Currently our outer perimeter is:
ISP supplied CISCO router
Draytek VigorPro 5510 UTM
Untangle running in bridged mode (primarily used for SPAM filtering, URL blacklisting, and very little else) Exchange 2003 sits behind the Untangle box. This is how I want to end up:
CISCO >> Draytek >> Ubuntu gateway >> Exchange/secondary mail server
I know I could replace/remove the Draytek but I want it to remain for several reasons, including lots of VPN dial-in users already configured and that it offers us an additional layer of email antivirus scanning before things hit the Exchange box. No point switching all of our remote workers over to new tunnels unnecessarily...
I have done some research and have started testing a pilot secondary mail server using Ubuntu/postfix DNS is properly set up and MX records and reverse PTR records are all present and correct, and things are looking encouraging so far. Before I go out over deep waters and start to flounder, has anyone who has done something like this got any obvious howlers I should be looking to avoid ?
I set up my mail server using the guide here: [URL] I am able to receive mail, I can send mail locally, but I can't send to external addresses.
