Server :: Sendmail To Postfix Migration?

Oct 25, 2010

I have a lightweight admin background, but good enough to set up most servers. I have switched from sendmail to postfix for the first time, but I keep going around in circles on the following. In sendmail, I used to maintain a table (mailertable) where I would redirect email like this

[Code]....

I happily mapped any incoming email address of any valid hosted domain either to go out to it's final destination via smtp, or if the person has a local mailbox, it delivered locally. Any errors could be forced, and a catch-all for the domain could be directed also.

I've struggled with virtual hosts and transport and a combination of the two to come up with the same result for postfix. I have this feeling I'm missing something really simple, or I am not 'getting it' when I'm doing something postfixy and I still have sendmaily expectations. right path so I will at least know I'm pointing in the right direction and working with the right files to achieve my aims? Postfix is so amazingly powerful and flexible, I'm having trouble figuring this bit out.

I have this feeling I just need a calm hand on my shoulder, a friendly smile and a hand pointing me the right way..

CentOS 5 Server :: Cannot Get Sendmail Or Postfix To Send A 220 Response - Nor Respond With Details

Aug 11, 2009

I cannot get either sendmail or postfix to send a 220 response, nor respond with details. See below for sample telnet output. Details: I have a server that requires email, but only for light use. I'm definitely not an expert, but I have set up a sendmail configuration on a previous server. I tried to configure sendmail first and then postfix later, when I couldn't get sendmail working. I'm not sure exactly what the problem is, but I have a feeling the following might yield some important information. Note: this is the result for Postfix, but virtually the same thing happened with sendmail, too. That is, initially the telnet connection would close immediately. Afterwords, I could connect a second time but then it never responded with a 220 banner nor any 250's.

CentOS 5 :: Switch From The Default Sendmail To Postfix Doing A Yum Install Postfix On 5.2

Dec 12, 2008

I have isntalled a server with Centos 5.2 OS, now I would like to switch from the default sendmail to postfix doing a yum install postfix I've noticed there is already available an rpm version for the OS but I would like to compile my own 2.5 version, I've noticed compiling from source does not allow me to use the mail switcher to tell to the system I'm gonna use Postfix instead of Sendmail as the default MTA while this is possible when I use the "official" rpm version of the package. Now my question is this, would this be a problem? There is some specific procedure/best practice I should follow? Or once compiled and configured Postfix I can safely disable/uninstall sendmail?

Server :: W2k Pdc To Centos Migration

Feb 14, 2011

I have a Windows 2k server running the AD PDC. 60 desktops users and 6 Windows servers use it as a single sign on server to login. As I plan to install a Centos 5.5 server with Samba for NAS and print sharing, is it possible to migrate the PDC services to the Linux server? I want desktop users and windows servers to authenticate on the Linux server. Is this possible? I have never worked with LDAP services. Worse, should I attempt this migration, it must be completed in a very short time frame.

General :: SMTP AUTH, Sendmail Client To Postfix Server?

Dec 2, 2010

I'm hoping someone here can help, as I've been beating my head on the wall for a week now with little advancement. I've found a number of tutorials on setting this up, however none of them have gotten me 100% of the way there. Here's my situation: home-based Fedora server (Core 8), running sendmail 8.14.2-1. Connecting to hosting company's smtp server over port 587, to bypass Verizon's blocking of port 25.

My /etc/mail/sendmail.mc file looks like this (comment lines removed):Quote:

divert(-1)dnl
define(`SMART_HOST', `smtp2.datarealm.com')dnl
define(`confAUTH_MECHANISMS', `EXTERNAL GSSAPI DIGEST-MD5 CRAM-MD5 PLAIN')dnl
FEATURE(`authinfo',`hash -o /etc/mail/auth/client-info.db')dnl
define(`RELAY_MAILER', `esmtp')dnl

General :: Safe To Remove Sendmail By Running "yum Erase Sendmail" And Let Postfix Handles "mailx" Also?

Sep 5, 2010

I have installed postfix and dovecot on my server and thought postfix will not only take SMTP connection from my e-mail client like Outlook, but also handles "mailx" commands from the server. However, it looks like sendmail is still responsible for sending mails from "mailx". I tested this by turning it on/off using "service sendmail stop" and "service sendmail start". Mails sent using "mailx" will only be sent when sendmail is up. When I did "yum info sendmail", it lists sendmail as an installed package. Is is safe to remove sendmail by running "yum erase sendmail", and let postfix handles "mailx" also?

CentOS 5 Server :: Email Server Setup Using Sendmail And Dovecot?

Apr 24, 2009

I am trying to set up a mail server on centos5 using sendmail and dovecot, and eventually spamassassin and some antivirus filter as well. I'd also like to get the proper secure auth mechanism set up at some point too. But for starters, I've been having a lot of difficulty trying to even connect to the mail server from a client computer in the local network. I installed Eudora on the client and after some tweaking in dovecot I was able to connect to the mail server, but then when I try to send an email I get a "connection refused" error, with nothing being logged on the server that I can see.

The last time I set up a mail server was Fedora Core 2, so the configuration files have changed a bit to say the least, and I can't really refer back to those to set up this new server. Does anybody know of a good step-by-step doc on getting the mail server going? I've read the man pages and other various readme's, but these really only list out the available options with no really good explanation of what needs to be done to get the mail server going. If there isn't a full write-up on how to do this, I'll put something together when I'm finished so others can use it in the future.

Server :: Sendmail Bad Mail Location CentOS 5.5

Nov 18, 2010

We have moved from a Windows based SMTP server to Sendmail on Cent 5.5. We have a special application that was written to look at the "BadMail" folder on the Windows box. I am told by my developers that it is capable of monitor remote locations and they just need to know the format or extension of the badmail files.

My question is what is the default location of the badmail folder in Sendmail? This is a default install from CentOS.

CentOS 5 Server :: Disable Out-of-the-box Greylisting In Sendmail

Jan 28, 2009

I recently turned on sendmail in CentOS 5.2 and configured it to relay mail for its domain onto some other email account elsewhere. Anyway, it's kind of hit and miss, but I've got a few of these:

Jan 27 21:47:18 smhi sendmail[12176]: n0S3YLaX011994: to=<kevin@hiding.my.domain.com
>, delay=00:12:56, xdelay=00:00:03, mailer=esmtp, pri=120673, relay=mx.hiding.my.mailrelay.com
[65.87.230.26], dsn=4.0.0, stat=Deferred: 451 4.3.0 Greylisting is active,
please try again later.

I don't think I have any greylisting software installed, but it seems to be greylisting? What's up with that? And why would it be intermittent? how I turn this off?

I've previously configured sendmail on Fedora systems and CentOS 4 and haven't run into this before...

CentOS 5 Server :: Sendmail Broken After 5.3 Upgrade?

Apr 9, 2009

After upgrading to CentOS 5.3 my sendmail will no longer deliver messages using a program in my /etc/smrsh. It fails with the message "unknown mailer error 1". This program was working perfectly before I did the upgrade using yum. Here is the list of packages that were upgraded. Does anything jump out as being the source of the issue? I don't believe that sendmail itself was upgraded:

Packages Installed:
dbus-libs - 1.1.2-12.el5.x86_64
libselinux-utils - 1.33.4-5.1.el5.x86_64
Packages Updated:
initscripts - 8.45.25-1.el5.centos.x86_64

CentOS 5 Server :: Setup DKIM With Sendmail?

Jun 23, 2009

I am trying to make my webserver a well respected email sender and it appears to me that using DKIM is something I need to do.

I have no experience with this and would like to know if anyone thinks there are issues that I should be aware of before going down this path.

Also, I have not been able to find any good, STEP BY STEP, documentation on how to set up DKIM with Sendmail.

I am also not sure if you need a certain network configuration for DKIM to work...this is what I am working with:

My webserver (centos 5.3, sendmail 8.13.8) sends outgoing mail and has a valid reverse DNS that matches a forward DNS. The MX records for my webserver's domain point to a third party email provider who handles the incoming mail for that domain. I added an spf record that signifies it that my webserver is authorized to send mail for mydomain.

CentOS 5 Server :: Procmail + Sendmail Configuration On 5.2?

Aug 5, 2009

I have been trying to get procmail working on CentOS 5.2. I don't need anything fancy, just an auto reply for a "noreply@" account. Looking at the sendmail configuration, it appears procmail is the MDA. I have looked at many different tutorials and how-tos, but most are old, and/or the locations/paths and setups are markedly different from the defaults on my system. Can anyone recommend a good CentOS-based tutorial on Procmail w/ recipes? (I have an RHEL book and it's no help either.) Thank you for your time and consideration.
