I have a server which runs suse linux on it. Postfix is already installed on it.
But, the problem is i am not able to send mail using root. I mean using mail -v command.
I could see the following in mail logs. I know 2 files main.cf and master.cf are there.
Not, sure what to change and how.

The same thing happens will Gmail also. I think outgoing mail is not working at all.

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.
Anyone out there have experience with SuSE over RedHat? RHEL is obviously the generalized Enterprise version used across most commercial hosting companies, but I'm interested in hearing about some SuSE experiences people have had.
It looks like SoftLayer offers SuSE and a couple VPS hosting companies do the same. I'm wondering how many large-scale sites are run on this operating system.
I am having trouble finding any providers that provide Opensuse on their configs. So far, the only one seems to be 1&1 and I certainly do not want to be going near them anytime soon.
Does anyone know of a reputable company that can provide Opensuse based servers?
I have been trying to compare Red Hat to SUSE Linux, and can't really come to a definitive solution. I can't seem to find anyone that uses SUSE (Well, hardly anyway), but I found out that they have over double to market share that Red Hat has so somebody is definitely using them. I also noticed that SUSE is cheaper too.
Based on your experiences, what are some of the pros / cons both ways? Who offers better product training (I wan't to get certified directly)? Who has better product support? Is AppArmor better than SELinux?
By the way, I am only looking for commercial linux distributions. Specifically companies that offer product training.
I'm working with a local startup and we are looking into potential backup solutions. We have roughly 9 servers all running some variation of susE linux (some straight susE and some X Server which runs off susE).
We are needing a backup solution that will allow us to securely get data off the servers on a regular interval. We are unable to move the data off site as we are running on a single T1 line with moderate utilization, certainly not enough BW to go off site.
OS is OpenSuse 13.1.Yast shows the installed version of Apache2 as 2.4.6-6.23.1..I created my own CA, and used that to create a server certificate. The CA crtificate (in PEM format), and the server key and certificate have been placed in the appropriate directories in /etc/apache2 (the key in ssl.key and the certificates in ssl.crt).
When I check the status, after restarting apache, I see an error claiming that socache_shmcb_module is not installed and that it is ignored. This is, of course wrong, as I included that module in /etc/sysconfig/apache2, and the appropriate LoadModule statement in the Loadmodule.conf file (with the proper full path - /usr/lib64/apache2). This error is the only error I see on the server.
I will be dropping my shared-hosting plan and ordering a small VPS as soon as I can decide on which operating sytem to use. It seems that most companies offer the following choices: Suse, Debian, Fedora and CentOS.
I freely admit that I am a full-fledged n00b when it comes to linux and will be learning as I go, the problem is I just don't know where to start because I'm not familiar with any of them. I have at least heard of Suse, Debian and Fedora before, but didn't even know this CentOS existed until yesterday... and yet, it seems to be one of the more popular choices.
So I was wondering if some of you seasoned VPS veterans here could recommend an OS, tell me what the differences are, or otherwise share any experience you might have with any of them.
My ISP service is highspeed from Comcast (speed right now not an issue), I would like to setup a domain name on the box to play around with - nothing serious yet.
I have several domain names purchased (Wildwest & Enom) and would like to use one of those on this box, or even more domains at a later day.
I am trying to transfer a domain from the server for Plesk 11.5 to 12 system is SUSE 13.1. After restoring the manager from within Backup getting errors:
Warning: python is not supported. It will be disabled for the following objects: xxxx.xx Warning: domain "xxxx.xx" Failed deployment of mail user bbbbb@xxxx.xx Warning: Execution of /usr/local/psa/admin/plib/api-cli/mail.php --create bbbbb@xxxx.xx -passwd '' -passwd_type sym -mailbox true -mbox_quota -1 -aliases add:bbbbb -forwarding false -ignore-nonexistent-options failed with return code 1.
Gazzin.com offers so many OSs on their VPS deals - CentOS, Debian, Fedora Core 3, Fedora Core 4, Gentoo, Opensuse, Suse, Unbuntu. Which one would you advise me to start from?
I have a domain with a few forwarding email accounts that forward to mac.com email accounts... for some reason every once in a while these accounts stop working...
This is the error I get when I email to that account:

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

I ran a dpkg-reconfigure and well I didn't had any problems The system is Debian 4.0
no mails are sent, without mail i'm lost because my users need confirmation emails to activate their membership, thank you
this is from my mail.log

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?
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.
