I have my postfix server configured to allow me to send email without authentication whenever my ip matches a value in my config. Only problem is, i have it open to accept anyone in my subnet, and i'm kind of weary of letting anyone in this area send mail through it.
I have a script on my server that gets my ip address whenever i send an http-based request to my winamp now playing script. When it gets my ip address, it updates a file called ip.txt with my ip address. What i'm trying to do is config my postfix main.cf file to grab the ip from ip.txt, and add it onto the mynetworks variable. Then when i try to send the email, i want it to recognize me, and let me send the email.
I recently moved to a VPS and installed Postfix onto it as my mail server. But I have following problems with its consistent working:
1. I experience that every now and then (once in 2 weeks) , it stops sending mails and put them in the mail queue with the following error:
Host or domain name not found. Name service error for name= type=MX: mysite.com not found, try again
I am not sure why it says so. However if I try to restart my mail server /etc/init.d/postfix restart and then try to flush the mails out of queue they are sent successfully. I am not sure where the problem is.
2. Secondly, I see that the header of my mails contains the hostname of my VPS machine "gospel" which is ofcourse not intended. How can I have my domain name in the mail headers?
I run a virtual server (Ubuntu 12.04, Plesk 12, Postfix 2.9.6) using plesk to manage multiple domains. The server address is server.domain1.com. I use plesk to also manage domain1.com regarding all services, including DNS and mail.
What I just found is that postfix sometimes issues the following warning:
server postfix/trivial-rewrite[7397]: warning: do not list domain server.domain1.com in BOTH mydestination and virtual_alias_domains
The essential part of my main.cf is: myhostname = server.domain1.com mydestination = localhost.$mydomain, localhost.localdomain, localhost virtual_mailbox_domains = $virtual_mailbox_maps, hash:/var/spool/postfix/plesk/virtual_domains virtual_alias_maps = $virtual_maps, hash:/var/spool/postfix/plesk/virtual virtual_mailbox_maps = , hash:/var/spool/postfix/plesk/vmailbox virtual_transport = plesk_virtual
And /var/spool/postfix/plesk/virtual_domains contains amongst others:
domain1.com domain1.com/
I do not have any issues with receiving or sending e-mails right now, but would like to get rid of the error message however.
Could it be the problem that postfix automatically sets mydomain to $myhostname with skipping the first part (i.e., mydomain is implicitly set to domain1.com)? Should I manually set mydomain to server.domain1.com instead? Any other recommendations? Since mydomain seems to be used in multiple options [URL] ..., I wonder what I might destroy with changing this? As all mail services run without any further troubles at the moment, I don't want to break this...
As I assume that quite some people use a plesk-based server to manage the domain to which the server itself belongs to, I would assume that there should be a general fix/check to updated mydomain accordingly?
My issue started ince a couple of months seemed to increase with update to Plesk 12.0 (though I can't guarantee it).I am using Centos 6.5, all updated. What happens is that postfix usage starts to increase without any apparent reason (during week-ends for example). Then postfix is not responding anymore.
I have a problem I am tracing on a single virtual host on a dedicated server running whm/cpanel and apache 2.2.9. I am tracking down a 500 internal server error on a group of cgi scripts (that works on another virtual host on the same server). Apache was installed with easy apache included with whm.
My problem has been narrowed to the cgi-bin itself. To test I created a simple hello world script that runs in the web directory of this particular virtual host, but gives a 500 error when run in the cgi-bin.
Looking at the configs for apache, boy is this a mess, I have a group of configs in /etc/httpd/conf and another group in /usr/local/apache/conf. When I restarted apache it seems to be reading the /usr/local/apache ones (even though they both look the same in /etc/httpd also.
On the httpd.conf file, the virtual hosts are listed there with all the paths I need. But above each one it gives a warning:
DO NOT EDIT. AUTOMATICALLY GENERATED. IF YOU NEED TO MAKE A CHANGE PLEASE USE THE INCLUDE FILES.
The include is listed on the virtual host as: Include "/usr/local/apache/conf/userdata/domain/domain.com/*.conf" on the one that works. And in the following format: Include "/usr/local/apache/conf/userdata/std/2/domain2/domain2.com/*.conf" on the one that doesn't.
The funny thing is that /usr/local/apache/conf/userdata does not exist.
This makes me truly appreciate my DirectAdmin server. Anyone have ideas where to look for adjusting apache server settings on this type of setup?
And is this complicated setup due to easy apache or cPanel itself?
We upgraded 7 servers from our network from PHP 4.4.7 to PHP 5.2.5, and Apache 1.3.3.9 to Apache 2.0.61. In only one of this servers we found problems with includes...
Include example that works:
Code: <? include("http://www.google.com"); ?> This doesnt work:
Code: <? include("path/file.php"); ?> And path/file.php does exist, also log error from apache doesnt even show a line .
allow_url_fopen was replaced by allow_url_include and it's set to On.
Im using PHP 5.2.5, Apache 2.0.61, cPanel and RHES 4.
I want to enable our server ssi server side includes (.shtml parsed).
My hosting company controls our server uptime, daily backup, server loads etc. when i request them; can you please enable ssi for shtml pages, i want to use ssi includes etc.. they suggested me use php instead of shtml for includes.
I want to .shtml, beacuse i use only ssi include header, footer same pages, also these pages search engine friendly.
Apache version: 2.0.52
I posted them please add following lines and restart apache afterwards:
Options +IncludesNoExec AddType text/html .shtml AddOutputFilter INCLUDES .shtml
They added and restarted apache, but not any affect. When i access .shtml pages via web browser, page opening successfully but not parse ssi includes, example:
<!--#include file="header.html" -->
but not parse, also i cannot use .htaccess files, our server admin say restricted them because security reasons.
I requested them our server root username and password, they say to me; before give you server root password, we remove all our server administration software from server and server administration service will be cancelled.
I am having some trouble with getting 'include' working. I have a new dedicated server running Apache 2.0.63 and PHP 5.2.6. Local includes on the same domain are running ok, but remote includes are throwing a problem. On the many sites we plan to host on this servber we use a central 'webmaster' page called as an include from a specific site (also on the same server).
I need to edit the PHP.ini and /or recompile the PHP with the appropriate modules to do one of the following...
1 (ideally) - allow includes from any site that is held on this dedicated server
Has anyone tried any online backup services which gives mobile access also. I have been thinking about trying one. But I'm not sure if any are better than others. My main concern is security.
I use the Apache server included with Mac OSX as my local development and testing environment for front-end web coding work. On the latest update to Yosemite (10.10), all of my .shtml files stopped processing my include virtual statements (or any SSI statements, for that matter).
I'm not seeing any errors, but the includes just show up like commented out code in the HTML when I view source. I've set up Apache to use a httpd-vhosts.conf for my various local dev servers (project1.local, test.local, etc...) Nothing seems to work.
I'm currently having trouble with Postfix. I recently installed some new web hosting software (ispCP) and so some new configs were written for all my software. Postfix was one of them and I can't figure out what's wrong with it.
Whenever I send e-mails to my server, Postfix denies it saying "Unknown address error 554: Relay access denied". The logs say NOTHING about it and I've been trying the old configs on Postfix and still nothing works.
Here are my configs: main.cf
Code: # # Postfix MTA Manager Main Configuration File; # # Please do NOT edit this file manually; #
# # Postfix directory settings; These are critical for normal Postfix MTA functionallity; #
I tried following the directions about 'The Perfect Setup' for SuSE 10.1 for my email server and finally got it to work, but now I am having issues with error messages!
In my /var/log/mail file I get tons of: Jul 6 18:15:17 <server> postfix/qmgr[8226]: warning: connect to transport error: Operation not permitted
and in my /var/log/messages file I get tons of: Jul 6 18:19:17 <server> kernel: audit(1183738757.049:122): REJECTING w access to /var/spool/postfix/private/error (qmgr(8226) profile /usr/lib/postfix /qmgr active /usr/lib/postfix/qmgr)
I can't find anyone having issues with the 'error' part of postfix.
I'm thinking of forcing the install but well maybe I should just post what's going on

My server's running Debian Etch, Postfix and spamassassin.
Spamassassin works: it flags spam messages correctly.
Currently I have set it to discard messages marked as spam and messages that doesn't have a proper ascii header (Eliminates mail from chinese & japanese spammers). But how do I make postfix to move spam to "Junk" (or such) folder, not to discard it.
I'm having some SMTP server security issues. I am running Postfix on my Debian VPS and I am trying to disable Postfix from being publically used by anybody except those with webmail.
I read Postfix's configuration at Postfix.org, but I couldn't find anything that I thought to be relevent to this situation. Do any of you have suggestions or ways to fix this? Besides disabling e-mail all together?
As another detail, I'm running Postfix on its original config, not through a MySQL database config.
I've got virtualmin installed and configured and working beautifully, and I'm able to add email accounts and have them checked by dovecot. Now I'm trying to work the SMTP side of things, but I'm stuck.
What's happening here is that when I attempt to send an email through Postfix, it replies with 'relay access denied'
I've searched google and tried various things, but none of them have worked so far. I can post any configuration files you need. After I get this working, I get to add another domain and see if the settings work there too
I'm trying to iron out this huge bug with Postfix. Right now I am stuck in a hole. I am trying to disable Postfix from relaying e-mail sent to my server. When I send e-mail without "relay_domains", I get a "554 Relay Access Denied" error. When I supply a "relay_domains" variable to Postfix, I get "mail for example.com loops back to myself" for an error.
I was skimming over the Postfix docs and it said you can make these errors go away with a "virtual_mailbox_domains" or "virtual_alias_domains" variable. My config has "virtual_mailbox_domains" but still these errors appear.
Is there a way to fix this, or a way to disable Postfix from relaying e-mail?
I'm using Postfix as my mail agent. I was wondering how to forward incoming emails to a script.
I did a search in google and couldn't find anything relevant only this.
create a alias like this.
email@example.com: "| php -q /home/user/full/path/to/script.php" But is not working not forward nothing. I have tried everything but nothing works and the logs not show me any errors.
I installed recently Postfix + Dovecot (yum) on a CentOS 5.1 test box. The configuration went OK, I can telnet on port 25, 587 and 465 with no problems.
