<0> are their any other decent admin tools other than postfixadmin, I have a working setup with mysql tables etc and postfixadmin seems geared towards a full install from scratch
<1> Postfixadmin is basically just a mysql frontend, so use whatever mysql frontend you like.
<0> yeah... its just nice to have something that just works
<0> it would'nt be hard to write a bit of php to do the basic tasks I dont think
<2> how can i tell postfix to not relay messages?
<2> originating from off this machine
<3> guys, I'm getting User unknown in virtual alias table
<3> but I know these accounts exist
<3> I have virtual_alias_maps=hash:/etc/postfix/virtual
<3> and postmap -q <address> hash:/etc/postfix/virtual shows the correct addr
<4> Is it possible to wire up a Yahoo mail server to a linux machine somehow to receive mails directly on the machine even though free Yahoo service doesn't allow forwarding?
<5> hello
<6> hi
<3> hi, all. when using REDIRECT, can I have the target address be an email address belonging to one of my virtual domains?
<3> e.g. someone@foo.com REDIRECT me@virtual.domain.com
<3> Everytime I do that, postfix complains that me@virtual.domain.com isn't in my virtual alias, even though when sending directly to it (from other accounts) works
<7> anyone here set up mailman? Its telling me I'm missing a site file.. not sure where it is supposed to go or what it is supposed to contain. Sorry for asking here. #mailman is dead.
<8> Greetings. I'm having an issue with configuring postfix to talk to mailman.
<8> Every instruction and tutorial manual I find says to add a few specific lines to master.cf.
<8> And every time I do so, postfix refuses to start.
<8> Specifically, one of the lines it says to add is: argv=/var/lib/mailman/bin/postfix-to-mailman.py ${nexthop} ${user}
<8> And the error from mail.err when trying to restart postfix is: bad transport type: ${nexthop}.
<8> Am I completely missing something here? Am I supposed to be filling in a value somewhere for that line?
<9> Crell: here is the line in my postfix for mailman:
<9> mailman unix - n n - - pipe flags=FR user=list argv=/usr/lib/mailman/bin/postfix-to-mailman.py ${nexthop} ${user}
<8> All one line?
<9> no. the first line is:
<9> mailman unix - n n - - pipe
<9> The rest starts on the next line after a tab. You probably could do it in one line though.
<9> If you use more than one line, you probably need some whitespace at the start of the second and third lines.
<8> ... are .cf files whitespace sensitive?
<9> That is how postfix identifies configurations that span more than one line in main.cf. I ***ume master.cf is the same.
<9> Yes when you have configs that span multiple lines.
<8> ... Two weeks I've been trying to figure this out, and NOT ONE SINGLE HOWTO OR TUTORIAL OR README HAS BOTHERED TO MENTION THAT!!!
<8> They all put it on multiple lines, and make it look like they all start at the start of the line.
<9> does it work now?
<9> when you get a chance, make sure you look at:
<9> http://www.postfix.org/postconf.5.html
<8> Not yet, but at least those lines don't keep postfix from starting now.
<8> Hm. If I want a server to accept mail for both example.com and lists.example.com, but to not fold both domains into one, should I be listing lists.example.com in relay_domains or virtual_mailbox_domains?
<8> The log file is yelling at me for having it set in both.
<9> I am not sure about that. My mailserver accepts mail for multiple domains and delivers them locally (not virtual). In my case, I list both domains in: mydestination
<7> I just created a mailman message list and when I tried to send an e-mail to it I got the following error 'Recipient address rejected: User unknown in virtual mailbox table'. Anyone know what I've missed?
<8> JeffH: I've been trying to figure that out for 2 weeks now. :-(
<7> hm.. that's not good.
<8> protonchris: Both domains CNAME to the same box. I want to use the one for lists and the other for everything else.
<8> I've no idea if that's virtual or not.
<7> I should probably get rid of the virtual mailbox setup.. I just did it for the heck of it.
<8> I have virtual mappings because I use MySQL as my alias backend.
<7> so do I.. but I just did it to check it out.. now that it's causing problems there's really no reason to use it.
<9> Unfortunately, I don't use mailman. I only had a config file laying around that had the mailman entry :(
<8> I HATE mail servers.
<7> I think I'm going to investigate what it takes to just revert back to a 'regular' postfix setup.
<8> protonchris: So with just listing both in mydestinations, does it keep them separate properly?
<8> It keeps expanding @lists.mydomain.com to @mydomain.com, and then saying the address doesn't exist (which is true).
<7> I should just be able to remove postfix and reinstall it and it'll be back into a 'regular' mode rather than a virtual mode, right?
<8> Um, maybe?
<8> If you purge the config files, too.
<9> Crell: if you list them both, both will be delivered locally. It won't differentiate. chris@crazy.com and chris@reallycrazy.com will both be delivered to local user chris.
<8> protonchris: Ah, that's not what I want at all.
<8> I'm not using any local delivery, except via localhost.
<9> You probably want to use virtual, but I am not the person that can help with that.
<8> Hm. Thanks.
<7> when I first installed postfix I found a good pdf file that showed the architecture and explained things.. now I can't find it. anyone know where I can get that?
<8> Gah!
<8> Every combination I try, it still expands the domains. I don't want it to!
<8> Can postfix cope with having some aliases defined via /etc/aliases and some defined in a MySQL table?
<7> I just installed courier-imap. and then configured my e-mail client to use imap to get my e-mail. It fails and in /var/log/syslog I see a line that says 'imaplogin: LOGIN FAILED' How do I find out what is wrong?
<9> JeffH: that isn't a postfix question, you would probably have better luck finding answer in a courier channel.
<7> I asked in courier and there's no answer.. thought I'd throw it out here in case someone knew.
<9> can't help you with courier, I use dovecot.
<10> JeffH: first of all, read up on couier-imap and figure out how to turn the debugging level up higher, so it will give you a more exact error msg ;)
<10> protonchris: whats with that dovecot, for something that has never made a production release (that I know of) -- there sure are a lot of people using it now
<9> I switched to it primarily because of it doesn't use many resources. I used UW-IMAP before and I didn't like it at all.
<9> Also it supports maildirs (UW-IMAP did not).
<10> uw-imapd is trash, always has been
<10> I've just always used courier-imapd ... Dovecot wasn't around when I started :P
<8> Gah!
<9> I have never used courier-imapd. So I can't tell you if it is better or worse.
<10> whatever gets the job done :)
<8> Well postfix isn't for me right now....
<8> How do I tell postfix to not mangle incoming email addresses that are not to the default domain?
<8> Has anyone worked with virtual maps?
<7> does postfix default to Maildir format?
<1> no
<7> where does that get defined?
<1> depends on cl*** of addresses.
<7> not sur I know what you mean.
<1> !basic
<11> rob0: 'basic' : http://www.postfix.org/BASIC_CONFIGURATION_README.html : a good starting place for Postfix beginners, many common questions are answered here.
<1> start there
<1> look in your main.cf, did you install from source or from a distribution?
<7> distribution
<7> okay.. got that.. now is there anyway to redeliver the mail that it dumped in /var/mail so that it goes into the maildir format?
<7> how do I allow a client on my network to use my server as a relay?
<12> I installed the debian postfix-tls, why dont I see port 587 being bound to?
<1> For the relaying, see !basic. For maildir, postconf.5.html#home_mailbox (path relative to $HOME) or mail_spool_directory.
<7> I got the Maildir figured out.
<7> okay.. last question.. how do I tell postfix to send all outgoing e-mail to my ISP's mail server?
<9> JeffH: you are looking for relayhost. Check the docs.
<7> yeah, found it after I asked. Now I just need to find out what server to relay it to.
<7> Sweet.. everything seems to be set up.
<1> Wow JeffH, what, a half hour from start to finish? Not bad.
<7> haha sad isn't it?
<7> now its time to install/configure mailman which is what I originally started doing.
<1> Postfix is made to be simple to configure for simple needs. Ah, mailman might get tricky. :)
<1> Probably not, for local(8) addresses, though.
<7> it got tricky when I first installed it.. that's when I decided to uninstall/reinstall postfix to get away from the virtual setup I had.
<13> Mailman is cake. Just use the mailman python addon.
<1> virtual(8) is unnecessary complexity for small sites. No benefit, a lot of extra work.
<1> (Great for an ISP or large company though.)
<7> rob0: yeah.. when I first set up postfix I set it up as virtual just because I could. :) Now that it caused problems I just removed it.
<13> Hrmm.. What kind of problems?
<7> is there anyway configure postgrey to not be used if the person sending the message is on my network?
<7> Is it possible to tell postfix to use a relayhost for only certain destinations?
<1> transport_maps
<7> thanks
<1> the earlier thing about postgrey: just rearrange your restrictions so that permit_mynetworks is before the check_policy_service
<7> yeah, I figured that out. thanks.
<7> sorry if I'm being a PITA
<1> Not really. It's one thing to ask questions and RTFM, where all the answers (in the case of Postfix) can generally be found. You're being a PITA if you don't do the RTFM part. :)
<7> too bad there's no automatic way to get postfix to add a site to the transport_map.
<14> hello, i'm fooling around with a problem here, is it possible to setup a relayhost for one domain only?
<1> transport_maps
<14> yes, i've tried that
<14> smtp:[ip] does not work
<14> relay:[ip] also doesnt work
<14> as destination
<14> so i'm a little confused which service and how i should use for this
<1> You have the transport(5) table syntax correct? "domain.fqdn smtp:nexthop" ?
<14> hmm... as an example: 'gmail.com smtp:gmail.com' is okay?
<1> Syntax, yes, but probably won't get your mail to gmail.com. :)
<14> hehe, yes, since it's a loop
<1> what happens when you try to send to sites listed in your transport_maps?
<14> i get a unknown user
<14> User unknown in virtual mailbox table.
<1> pastebin your postconf -n
<14> here http://paste.debian.net/5780
<14> doh. sure. i'm using the transport table for local virtual domains.
<14> thanks for your time ;)
<14> yaay, it works :)
<1> I thought it might have been something like that.
<1> I think someone has that in a HOWTO somewhere.
<14> i followed the workaround.org howto a while ago :)
<1> hmmmm
<14> quite a while ago :)
<1> Yeah I don't see anything about transport_maps in there now.
<15> bit off topicness.. if I'm gonna have sasl authenticate against ldap, I can build sasl without bdb, right?
<16> How does postfix write to /var/mail/username, without root privileges?
<17> GoGi: What are your permissions of /var/mail?
<16> drwxrwxr-x root mail
