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

[Code]....

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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 ?

Server :: Fedora Sending Mails From Root With Non-root Account?

Jul 14, 2011

I've started to get emails that would typically come from [URL] as [URL]. These emails come from services that send out emails (backup programs) directly, or from cronjobs. I've logged in as the non-root account and either sudo su - or su - to root and the restart the service at one point or another. If I login directly as root and bounce the service or cron the emails come across as from root. I don't see anything in my environment variables after I su to indicate what would cause this. I'm not sure where else to look? A pam setting? This seems to have happened between Fedora 10 and 14 (did a bunch of overdue upgrades recently) I've only got Fedora so I don't have anything to compare to. In Fedora 10 I did not have this problem.

Networking :: Sending Out Different Certs (Multiple Gateways)

Apr 6, 2010

I'm hosting a Sendmail Cyrus-Imap server on fedora 12. I recently installed a second NIC on a second internet gateway and successfully configured source based routing. Clients are able to connect over the mail.domain.com received from the gateway 192.168.0.1 to the interface 192.168.0.254. ETH0. Clients are also able to connect from pop3.domain.com and smtp.domain.com from the second gateway 192.168.1.1 to the interface 192.168.1.254. ETH1

I have cyrus-imap certs configured for the mail.domain.com and a Sendmial cert configured for mail.domain.com. My question is how would I tell sendmail and cyrus that the mail.domain.com goes out the ETH0 but deliver the second and third cert (eg cyrus sends pop3.domain.com and sendmail sends smtp.domain.com) to clients connected on ETH1?

Server :: Postfix As Sending MTA For Multiple Domains?

Jun 7, 2010

I am setting up a Postfix MTA that will be only sending mail for 10 different domains. We have other servers that will be receiving the mail for the domains so I only need to set up for sending on Postfix.

What my issue is I am trying to configure Postfix so that when it sends mail the header shows what domain the mail came from and not the domain the Postfix server is set to. For example....

[URL]

When I send mail from domain2.com I want it to show in the header it was sent from domain2.com and not from domain1.com. What do I need to set in postfix so that this happens? Right now no matter what domain the mail is from the header always shows the server domain and I can't have that.

Server :: Postfix: Sending Mail From Multiple Domains?

Jul 20, 2009

I'm running a server with two sites which both need to be able to send emails. Currently I have Postfix set up to send email via Google Apps. This works fine, but Google's servers ignore the From: address I specify and substitute the one I logged in with. Is there a way to make Postfix log into Google Apps with a different username based on what site the email is coming from? The server does not recieve any mail itself; Google recieves it and we have it set to forward it to the appropriate person's real email address. I'm only worried about sending mail.

(Postfix is not a requirement here, so if there's another mailer that can do this better, I'm open to ideas. However, sending email directly from the server isn't an option as it's a residential IP address and blocked by most of the big email providers.)

Software :: CentOS Postfix Emails As Root Only

Feb 25, 2010

I have a CentOS 5.3 system running a recently installed Postfix (I removed sendmail so I positively know it's running Postfix).

I am able to send out email as user root, but when I change to another user on the same server, the mail delivery fails.

Here's what's captured in the /var/log/maillog:

Here's my main.cf

No changes to other Postfix files since install, so they are the default files.

General :: Nagios3, Postfix: All Notification Emails Go To Root?

Aug 10, 2011

I have nagios and postfix on the same ubuntu box.Postfix is able to send emails out as root and my user id to my gmail acct, but not as user nagios, which does own the nagios process. I haven't been able to find a way to authorize user nagios to send email (really), but I don't know if this is the underlying issue. Frankly I don't care what acct they originate from as long as they arrive.Currently, all notification emails are being dumped locally into root's mailbox. There are no errors in either the nagios.log or the mail.log.I've added my gmail address to the contacts.cfg, replaced it in the nagios.cfg, and put it every other place I could find root's mailbox mentioned. I've also created an alias for root to my gmail acct with no luck (didn't want to do that fearing I'd receive emails for other system events, but it didn't work anyway)

Server :: Sendmail Sending To Root

May 10, 2011

I've searched high and low for an answer. This seems so simple...

Domain = chadmccan.com
Server 1 = admin.mo.chadmccan.com
Server 2 = leroy.mo.chadmccan.com

Email for my domain is handled by Google Apps. MX records point there, I receive a ton of email there.I have 2 systems. admin.mo.chadmccan.com, which is designed to be the "gateway" for all services, including email.On the same network, is leroy.mo.chadmccan.com. It's just an application server, for random apps, including a webserver.I just want all of my systems to email anything that goes to "root" to blahblah@chadmccan.com relaying via admin.mo.chadmccan.com. Is this impossible?

All emails sent to "www" will go to "root" mailbox. Is "www" a special account under sendmail that all emails will be re-directed to "root"?

Ubuntu Networking :: FTP Server With Multiple Users With Only Access To Their Own Web Root

Jul 24, 2011

I find FTP server software confusing in Linux. Using ServU for Windows for an example, all I need to do is to create users via the ServU interface and choose a folder I want that user to have access to and their permissions, and viola, they can connect to that directory, and that directory only.

But in the the land of Linux, it apparently can't be managed this easy. I have a web server with multiple domains, and therefore multiple users need access to their own web root. So with that in mind, what FTP server software should I use (there are plenty out there) and how would I go about to create a user per domain, so that they can log in using FTP to manage their site, and only have access to their own web root, and nothing else?
