I'm follow the TUTO setting firewall/gateway of you guys, everything look fine but I got problem when try to login squirellmail. after searching forum i know that we must send a welcome email to a user so that Mairdir will automatic create. As the TUTO you guys say that I can use webmin to send a welcome msg to the user, but i can't find out how to do this after click any where in Webmin's Postfix configuration TAB Pls help me out thanks much! KEN
Hi, Simply send an email inyour console like this : $ mail [email protected] Subject : Test mail Test mail. . cc: [email protected] This will create the maildir.
Thank bro I try the command mail use the [email protected]main when finish i check Maildir but still zero ... May be because my domain name doesn't point to my server yet (right now u can't surf the domain to my server yet), so how can we send an email by "localhost" way? many Thanks
To send to localhost just leave off the domain name. So, if I'm [email protected], I'd just send to "joe" if I'm running mail on virtualmin.com echo "Welcome text" | mail -s Welcome joe If you're using Virtualmin to create your accounts (either version), it takes care of all the gritty details, including sending a welcome message. Webmin does allow you to run an optional command on creation of a new user, but it's not specific to mail. But you could use that post-create command to send a welcome message...or anything else you wanted to do.
thanks so much for quick reply just found out that webmin have an options to create user folder when this acc created. if we do as this pictures, Maildir for this user will avaiable and offcourse webmail working smoothtly i try both way (from both of you) to send a msg to an old user (not create by webmin so that they don't have Maildir) but still can't receive any msg. So that i force create Maildir for an old acc mkdir -p /home/olduser/Maildir mkdir /home/olduser/Maildir/new mkdir /home/olduser/Maildir/cur mkdir /home/olduser/Maildir/tmp and chown -R olduser : olduser /home/olduser/* after that that olduser can log in webmail and as i mention above no msg in this acc, still don't know how to send mail via command anyway thanks both of you for helping me! U'r guru Best regards
after done with Maildir problem above, I got some weir error as you guys show me some command to send email to user, but there is no msg or mail in the user inbox (i don't mention about MX record here becoz fist i don't know how and why my users localhost can't mail to each other <<< it's must be wrong config in my server?) Note: if i use mail command and send mail to my my yahoo mail, i got mail in my YAHOO. => Myserver sending GOOD but refuse to receive mail Pls help me TIA
fix the receive mail local already! when check /etc/postfix/main.cf i found out, just becoz i install procmail after config webmail so mailbox_command turn out mailbox_command = procmail -a "$EXTENSION" while the TUTO said that mailbox_command = i change to fit the TUTO and i can mail local users each other damn good! Just wanna ask some questions about MX i know that if my domain is abc.com (or www.abc.com) so www A my_static/dynamic_IP (to update domain www.abc.com) and @ A my_static/dynamic_IP (to update domain http://abc.com) MX record must be @ MX mail.abc.com do we need to update record type A: mail of abc.com too? (mail A my_static/dynamic_IP <= to update domain mail.abc.com) but if my domain is router.abc.com (router is a hostname of abc.com and router.abc.com is alive) how can i setup an mx record for user mail: [email protected] my /etc/hosts is: 127.0.0.1 localhost localhost 192.168.1.181 router router.abc.com
