ive just installed ubuntu server 8.04 following the howto guide. how do i set up email accounts? thanks.
Something like this https://help.ubuntu.com/6.10/ubuntu/serverguide/C/email-services.html maybe you are looking for something like this ?
i have installed and set up postfix, pop and smtp from the howto guide, i how would like to know how add email users and domains. thanks.
If you followed one of the tutorials that use mysql to host virtual users and domains, you need to create a sql command and execute it with mysql or phpmyadmin. Have a look at section 13 on this page Virtual Users And Domains With Postfix, Courier, MySQL And SquirrelMail (Ubuntu 8.04 LTS) for an example of the necessary sql INSERT commands.
Which tutorial exactly did you follow? If it's the "Perfect Server", take a look here: http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2
i followed: http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-server-ubuntu8.04-lts. ive then follwed the howto posted by ralic (cheers ralic) and ive made the users and set up squirrel mail but when i sent an email from squirrel mail it gets returned instantly saying its 'Considered UNSOLICITED BULK EMAIL'.
everything came back ok apart from the last 7: CSMA TIMEOUT Return codes were: ERROR, Reponse code=2 0 0 HILLI TIMEOUT Return codes were: ERROR, Reponse code=2 0 0 INFORMATIONWAVE TIMEOUT 0 0 NJABLDYNA TIMEOUT 0 0 REDHAWK TIMEOUT Return codes were: ERROR, Reponse code=2 0 0 SOLID TIMEOUT Return codes were: ERROR, Reponse code=2 0 0 SPAMRBL TIMEOUT Return codes were: ERROR, Reponse code=2 0 0
after another try only these 4 timed out: HILLI TIMEOUT 0 0 INFORMATIONWAVE TIMEOUT 0 0 NJABLDYNA TIMEOUT 0 0 SOLID TIMEOUT 0 0
thanks for you help. i decided to reinstall my server and followed your post that you suggested previously and its working perfectly.
