 |
|
Couple questions, first what ports do I need to have open so that i can receive mail?
Second i'm having problems with my mail server. I can send emails but not receive from outside sources.
Also, when I send email, the source is user@amd900.rshields.net and not user@rshields.net.
I'm also having the same thing happen with squirrel mail. I go to the squirrelmail login page and the address is "amd900.rshields.net/mail" and not just "rshields.net/mail" any help is appreciated as this is aggravating.
Here is my main.cf file.
| Code: |
inet_interfaces = all
myhostname = amd900.rshields.net
mydomain = rshields.net
queue_directory = /var/spool/postfix
command_directory = /usr/sbin
daemon_directory = /usr/lib/postfix
mail_owner = postfix
myorigin = $myhostname
mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain $mydomain

sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail

You're specifying your host name as the origin. You really want this:
myorigin = $mydomain

1. You just need to forward port 25 to your postfix box to receive email.
2. Can send, but can't receive:
Well... right off, it looks like your smtpd_client_restrictions & smtpd_recipient_restrictions are wrong. Here's what I have... and I also use saslauth so your settings should be the same unless you have other special circumstances.
| Code: |
smtpd_client_restrictions =
smtpd_recipient_restrictions =
permit_mynetworks
permit_sasl_authenticated
reject_unauth_destination
|
You usually want smtpd_client_restrictions blank. It has to do with outside MTA's sending messages to your postfix box, so if it's blank you'll be able to receive mail from outside. The smtpd_recipient_restrictions line is what prevents your box from acting as an open relay.
3. as for the user@amd900.rshields.net problem... it looks like Kashani just answered it. (Now you owe him a stuffed spinach pizza)
4. Squirrelmail problem... I don't use squirrelmail so I don't know... maybe once you get postfix squared away, squirrelmail will start cooperating. |

try login with "http://rshields.net/mail/", note the "/". There is a tetting with apache(?) somewhere so you don't have to add the extra "/", but I can't remember, may be someone else can help with that  |

I changed
myorigin = $mydomain
and am still receiving email as if sent from user@amd900.rshields.net. any other ideas?
and Now that I can receive mail, i tried to send mail as my regular user and am seeing this error in the log at /var/log/mail/current when i try to send an email. What does this mean? I get it from mutt or from squirrelmail.

You emerge courier-imap with fam support but didn't start famd
| Code: |
# rc-update add famd default
# /etc/init.d/famd start

I'm still having problems with the address being @amd900.rshields.net. I changed myorigin to be hard coded to rshields.net and that still didnt fix it.
Also still unable to send using non root accounts. I started famd and I'm not seeing the error about fam being misconfigured.
I then remerged postfix, courier-imap and cyrus-sasl and made sure that my use flags did not have fam in it so that there would not be that issue with fam. Started back up the mail services and still nothing at all when i try to send an email from a non root account. What else can it be? Is there any other files you need to look at possibly? |
