Hello, I recently installed Zod - Fedora Core 6 and have been running through this HowTO "Virtual Users And Domains With Postfix, Courier And MySQL (Fedora Core 5)". I completed everything up to the point you telnet localhost 25, and receive no response back from postfix. See the quote box: HTML: [root@lace ~]# telnet localhost 25 Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost.localdomain (127.0.0.1). Escape character is '^]'. Some background for anyone able to assist me: Currently have kyse.us domain. kyse.us points directly to my box (for purposes of letting people using port 27910 for quake 2 connect). www.kyse.us is redirected to www2.kyse.us:81, and webmail.kyse.us is directed to webmail2.kyse.us:81. My intension is to leave www.kyse.us for regular web space, and use the webmail.kyse.us for connecting to the mail on this server, and also using a webmail interface if I can get one set up. The box is behind a router/firewall, however the ports are open. SELinux is disable, as is the box's firewall. /etc/hosts file: HTML: [root@lace ~]# cat /etc/hosts # Do not remove the following line, or various programs # that require network functionality will fail. 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost 192.168.1.7 webmail2.kyse.us webmail2 [root@lace ~]# /etc/postfix/main.cf file - edited out a bunch of #Description lines to reduce post to 10k.

Thank you, Kyse
Also, I know im getting a little ahead of myself. But is there a webmail program that works with this setup, that will let me have the following conclusion: I log into webmail using kyse as login name. I can view [email protected] email, view [email protected]l, view [email protected]l? Thanks, Kyse
After messing around with some things I got it to say something when I telnet in, but found another problem :/ I have no idea where this protocol mismatch comes from, but will post configs upon request. Heh... Here's what the telnet session does now. HTML: [root@webmail2 ~]# telnet localhost 22 Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost.localdomain (127.0.0.1). Escape character is '^]'. SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_4.3 ehlo localhost Protocol mismatch. Connection closed by foreign host. [root@webmail2 ~]#
Port 22 is for ssh communication. If you really want telnet (never do this if your accessing systems on the Internet) then use port 21. But as you are on a linux box, why not use the 'ssh' client command? It's there or if not, it's easily installed. just type Code: ssh But you're testing your mail server, right? (just skimming though your posting) ... Then you should use Code: telnet localhost [B]25[/B]
Here's the /var/log/maillog HTML: Jan 3 16:18:55 lace postfix/proxymap[8696]: fatal: unsupported dictionary type: mysql Jan 3 16:18:56 lace postfix/master[7883]: warning: process /usr/libexec/postfix/proxymap pid 8696 exit status 1 Jan 3 16:18:56 lace postfix/master[7883]: warning: /usr/libexec/postfix/proxymap: bad command startup -- throttling Jan 3 16:18:56 lace postfix/smtpd[7975]: warning: premature end-of-input on private/proxymap socket while reading input attribute name Jan 3 16:18:56 lace postfix/smtpd[7975]: warning: private/proxymap socket: service dict_proxy_open: Success Think that could have something to do with it?
Got some of the warnings gone, still having trouble with this one from my /var/log/maillog file Any ideas?
Ok, I think I've got why this is happening figured out. 1) when trying to buildrpm, I get the message '-mcpu=' is deprecated. Use '-mtune=' or '-march=' instead. 2) RPM is not placed in /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/ or /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/*/ even.. 3) I downloaded the postfix-2.2.8-2.3.i386.rpm and attempted to rpm it and got the following errors: file * from install of postfix-2.2.8-1.2 conflicts with file from package postfix-2.3.3-2 So, 1, postfix wasn't patched due to rpmbuild errors creating no rpm for me to install. And 3, now I can't even install the older postfix cause the newer version is out. Anyone know a way to fix this issue so I can either install the older RPM, or build my new 2.3.3 postfix? Thanks
OK falko, check it.. I got it all working, now im trying to edit the database using mysql. it gives me the same error for editing domains as users but I have users to copy/paste, so here it is: mysql> INSERT INTO 'users' ('email', 'password', 'quota') VALUES ('[email protected]', ENCRYPT('blah'), 10485760); ERROR 1064 (42000): You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ''users' ('email', 'password', 'quota') VALUES ('[email protected]', ENCRYPT('blah' at line 1 mysql> Any ideas?
OK, here's where I'm standing now... hehe.. I can send and receive email to and from the one account I craeted in the databases now. [email protected]. However if I try to send an email to internal user accounts on the mail server, such as [email protected] or external email addresses such as [email protected], I get undeliverable return messages back to outlook. What am I missing?
The correct syntax is Code: INSERT INTO users (email, password, quota) VALUES ('[email protected]', ENCRYPT('blah'), 10485760); What's in your mail log when this happens?
The very first email to cox.net didn't make it, but all the rest of them did, so thats ok. Apparently I need to get my ip address on a whitelist for verizon.net :/ So, how can I set this up to receive my cox.net email from the cox web server? [email protected] Inbox Outbox Trash [email protected] Inbox Outbox Trash make it where when I compose, I can choose which email address I want to send from (ie if I pick [email protected] it sends via the cox.net smtp server). Too complicated or doable? hehe.
I can send/receive emails just fine from within the router config. From outside the routers network, I can connect/log to incoming and outgoing ports/server, however outlook says sending a test email failed. Any ideas as to why?
I think what it is is, cox just like verizon wont allow sending mail unless you are using their smtp server? Anyways, I think I can get around that by having outlook use the isp smtp server to send the test email. Hopefully verizon will whitelist my domain sooner than later. I setup squirrelmail last night, works great with your setup. One thing I noticed is it's folder handling abilities isn't as good as I'd like. If you have a folder named Online Transactions, it dosn't work because looking for a directory Online Transactions causes it to find /Online/ which dosn't exist. In addition the created directories are not supported as far as the new mail notification and quota plugins are concerned. I'm sure the code can be edited for such purposes, but I am not that fimilar with php yet. Yea YET!
If your ISP is blocking port 25, you can have a look here: http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/showthread.php?t=72&highlight=relayhost
