<0> hi, in my /etc/postfix/main.cf is relayhost = 200.185.109.87, but when I try send it, postfix make relay=local, sure postfix was reloaded
<1> unset your mydestinations
<0> rcsu: :) thanks
<1> np
<2> mydestinations = hawaii!
<0> !!! now it works
<3> dijz: Error: "!!" is not a valid command.
<2> !sleep
<3> Supaplex: Error: "sleep" is not a valid command.
<2> well it is for me!
<1> rcsu: command not found
<4> rob0, magyar : thanks for you help, it was just the fqdn of the mail server which was wrong :)
<4> your
<5> could someone tell me what some weird stuff I'm seeing in the /var/log/mail file is saying?
<1> cdubya: if you tell us what a 'weird stuff' is
<5> heh
<5> bah, I've run out of time. I'll have to post it later.
<5> Thanks, though.
<6> rcsu: you have strange preferences
<6> ;>
<1> hmm, either you want to get the errors solved, then you need some time
<1> or you have no time, then your errors cant be solved
<1> so its simply a matter of preference
<6> i was just kidding
<1> Zerberus: np, ill do it for the logs
<7> when I send mail it is received as root@localhost.localdomain
<7> I have no idea why
<8> NickGarvey, does it work?
<8> I mean do you receive it?
<7> yes
<8> NickGarvey, why bother then:)
<7> because it says localhost.localdomain
<7> which is very odd
<7> and I don't want to send people e-mail that says that
<9> NickGarvey: myorigin = $myhostname
<9> and probably your myhostname is localhost or something like that
<9> setup correctly your: myhostname, mydomain, myorigin, etc
<7> oh thank you
<7> worked
<7> all mail sent to root is instead sent to nick, how I can I fix this?
<7> /ubuntu
<6> NickGarvey: man aliases
<8> NickGarvey, check /etc/aliases -- or whereever else you have put those.
<7> thank you
<8> Yes. That too.
<7> that was it
<10> How come when I change my virtual file, so that @foo.com goes to user bob, it's all still going to my username?
<9> cds: 3 ways:
<9> 1 you didnt postmap it (or make is you setup a makefile for it)
<9> 2 you didnt restart postfix (and so it will reload the config in a few minutes)
<10> I ran postmap /etc/postfix/virtual after changing it?
<9> 3 you change the wrong file
<7> does postfix handle my out going e-mail?
<6> NickGarvey: you know what an MTA is for?
<10> higuita: What's that about a makefile+
<10> ?
<7> mail transfer agent
<7> so I'm thinking mail transfer
<7> but I really have no idea how any of this works
<7> jumping in head first
<6> time for reading - get a good book
<10> I suggest you don't get the sendmail book :)
<10> (Actually I lie, the first couple chapters is a nice introduction to mail)
<7> I don't really have money.. I'm 15... I get 7 dollars a month
<10> Your local library might have it.
<10> Or your local university's library (if you're allowed to take books out from there)
<7> university?
<7> and no my school barely knows what a computer is in the first place heh
<10> Do you have a university in your town?
<7> nope
<7> village
<9> cds: the makefile is just a "script" to build the update the postmap for the postfix files, search the net for postfix makefile newaliases postmap
<10> NickGarvey: Is there any libraries in your area?
<10> higuita: Cheers :)
<10> higuita: Aha... could it be I should put all this information in aliases instead of virtual?
<9> probably...
<9> i dont know what you want to do...
<10> I want mail for bob@domain.com to go to user bob, noreply@domain.com to go to /dev/null, and @bar.com to go to user cds
<9> both virtual and alias redirect email, each have their diferent objective (even if some of then is also taken care with the other)
<9> and domain.com is your mydestination?
<10> Yeah.. I have all my domains I host in mydestination, and my hostname in myhostname.
<9> cds? ALL your domains?
<10> Yeah, I host several domains.
<9> like domain.com , domain2.com, domain3.net ?
<9> %#$%
<10> Yeah.
<9> didnt you read the docs?
<10> Sure?
<9> ONLY your domain in mydestination, the rest to the virtual file
<9> that is the way it should work
<10> Hm.
<10> Lets read the documentation again...
<9> if you want to map directly domain2.com to domain.com (user1@domain2.com is also user1@domain.com)
<9> then put in virtual @domain2.com @domain.com
<9> 8)
<10> Well, I more want domain1.com to go to user1, domain2 and domain3.com to go to user2
<9> it may work look it works with all in mydestination, but it can also create several problems and its hard to control
<9> then it is really in virtual
<9> @domain1.com user1@domain.com
<10> Hmm...
<10> That's a thing.
<9> @domain2.com user2@domain.com
<9> @domain3.com user2@domain.com
<10> The default config (debian) had my hostname, myhost.hostname, and localhost in mydestination?
<9> ignore a little the default debian config, its setup for a small home and local mail server
<10> I think that's how I made the mistake :)
<9> try to follow the postfix default config file, its alot more clear for real setups
<10> I only got the debian one?
<9> no, the postfix default one should be in /usr/share/doc/postfix (or /usr/share/postfix)...
<10> Aah, ok.
<9> search for main.cf or postfix.cf or something like this
<10> Lets see if this works...
<9> debian postfix readme should be say where the file is and that it should be use as base for bigger setups
<10> Well, debian isn't great for readmes ;)
<10> Oddly, that only made all mail bounce.
<9> you also need to put in virtual the entry for the domains...
<9> domain1.com activate_relay
<9> domain2.com activate_relay
<9> domain3.com activate_relay
<9> put this also in the virtual
<9> the 2 field is junk, doent matter, the important is the first one so that postfis knows that should accept emails for that domain
<10> Oh, you don't have @domain1.com?
<9> @domain1.com user@domain.com tells postfix that emails @domain1.com should go to user@domain.com
<10> Hm.
<10> So... I need two lines per domain/user?
<9> but you need also "domain1.com somehthing" in the file so that postfix knows that it should use domain1.com as a "pseudo-mydestination"
<10> So...
<9> domain1.com activate_relay
<9> @domain1.com user@domain.com
<9> domain2.com activate_relay
<10> Aaah..
<9> @domain2.com user2@domain.com
<10> I bet that's the problem!
<9> user_a@domain2.com user3@domain.com
<10> Hm, do you need the @domain.com?
<10> I mean, it's unix users on the machine?
<10> (In user@domain.com)
<9> no, you can cut out the @domain.com and postfix will use the local users
<10> Excellent.
<9> you can also use other domains in virtual, external domains, other virtual domains (yes, its bumb to chain virtual domains 8), etc
<9> /dev/null redirects, create the user null or something like this and put in aliases null: /dev/null
<10> Hm, so you can't send directly to /dev/null ?
<9> not in virtual
<9> in virtual only email/users
<9> AFAIK at least...
<10> So I put null: /dev/null in aliases?
<9> yes
<10> How do I rehash the aliases?
Return to

Go to some related
