Fail to ping

gani · 12-11-2006, 09:05 PM

I don't know of CC & BCC command in telnet. The 'mail' utility has it but I think this comes with
sendmail.

Quote:

I'm considering webmail "squirrel". If ISP blocks port 25, can I send webmail? Tks.

The same principles will apply. Webmail is just a user web interface that acts as his/her mail client.

Hi gani,

Ubuntu-6.06.1-LAMP-server-amd64

I encountered another problem after installing sendmail on the server which is to satisfy another package. Ubuntu does not allow 2 MTAs. Therefore on installing sendmail it removed postfix simultaneously which I was not aware.

Later I ran
# apt-get remove --purge sendmail

and
# apt-get install postfix.

and changed "satimis.freeddns.com" to "satimis.homelinux.com". The later is my current domain for this test.

But postfix can't work properly. I went through this thread and repeated all appropriate steps

# sudo postmap /etc/postfix/sasl_passwd

Code:

sudo: unable to lookup #mail.satimis.freeddns.com
satimis.homelinux.com via gethostbyname()

It is quite strange. It points to "mail.satimis.freeddns.com"

Which file shall I edit to fix this problem. Tks.

# ls /etc/postfix/ | grep sasl

Code:

sasl
sasl_passwd
sasl_passwd.db

Pls help. TIA

B.R.

You changed your domain so you need to as well adjust /etc/hostname, myhostname and mydomain in main.cf.

Then it needs restarting your network.

It's not present. If before it's there even you did not create it manually, it was then system-generated during package installation. Check it out. Or just for the sake of testing, comment out at the moment the line pertaining to this and just return to it later.

I think so.. It makes sure that it will first read /etc/hosts, then bind and then your ISP's nameservers. Just my idea.

This is the usual case when your dynamic. If still persistent, rearranged manually and save it to a different file name, say - /etc/resolv.proper. Then just copy it after boot up or create a script to be loaded by rc.local. I'm doing this in one of my as well strange OBSD installations.

Sorry if I lacked details. That's simply editting /etc/postfix/main.cf and uncommenting "virtual_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/virtusertable" and then reload postfix and no need to rerun postmap. That answered actually your previous question stating that in what part of your config lines it can be found.

That was your logs output. It seems cacert.pem is not present. You may uncomment in your main.cf the
lines using this file for the time being. This relates to TLS functionality that can be optional and if you
wish this added, you can search for several tutorials on this or simply read postfix documentation.

Most probably these are the pertinent lines:

# TLS parameters
smtpd_tls_cert_file = /etc/postfix/ssl/smtpd.crt
smtpd_tls_key_file = /etc/postfix/ssl/smtpd.key
smtpd_use_tls = yes

Quote:

With Maildir/ style of mailbox, it will default to your home directory as /home/satimis/Maildir/.
If you want to have a central repo of all your users mails other than the default, say in
/var/mail/mydomain/satimis/Maildir/, you will need to use third party app like Courier-IMAP and
Maildrop to use an SQL backend like MySQL or Dovecot IMAP/POP3 server. There are several tutorials
on setting-up Courier and Maildrop in postfix's website.

$ ls /home/satimis/Maildir/

Code:

cur  new  tmp

$ ls Maildir/cur/
$ ls Maildir/tmp/
both without printout.

$ ls -al /var/mail/

Code:

total 20
drwxrwsr-t  2 root    mail  4096 2006-12-14 18:12 .
drwxr-xr-x 17 root    root  4096 2006-11-16 13:37 ..
-rw-rw----  1 satimis mail 12000 2006-12-16 08:31 satimis

It is not the mail sent on Yahoo.com website.

Where is the mail gone? It was not rejected.

Quote:

If you want to have a central repo of all your users mails other than the default, say in
/var/mail/mydomain/satimis/Maildir/, you will need to use third party app like Courier-IMAP and
Maildrop to use an SQL backend like MySQL or Dovecot IMAP/POP3 server. There are several tutorials
on setting-up Courier and Maildrop in postfix's website.

Are following documents relevant?

Edit:
There is something unexpected happened after playing around with the config file of postfix. Now "satimis.homelinux.com" and "satimis.homelinux.com:8080" failed browsing the homepage on another network. Previous "satimis.homelinux.com:8080" worked without problem. Ping is still possible;

$ sudo ping -c 3 satimis.homelinux.com

It should be in 'new'.

Below is the howto I'm using. But this is only a suggestion.

We'll, smtp won't definitely affect http. It might just be coincidental when things went wrong with your http service. BTW, what's that particular config?
