Hi!, Im super noobie in GNU/Linux.. and i've ubuntu 5.10. I was following this howto... http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect_setup_ubuntu_5.10_p4, i did all the steps.. in the step... "To see if SMTP-AUTH and TLS work properly now run the following command: telnet localhost 25" i get this... Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost.localdomain. Escape character is '^]'. Connection closed by foreign host. why? ,.. and how i fix that
What's your hostname? What's in /etc/postfix/main.cf as myhostname and mydomain? Do they exist in DNS? What's the output of Code: netstat -tap ? What's in /var/log/mail.log?
ok... lets say i tried to do it with my dyndns acount. i have an account (p.e : account.ath.cx), cause i have a web server running. i thought that myhostname.account.ath.cx will be ok.. and im begining to think im wrong.. like always. How can i have a web server, and a mail server with a free dyndns account? that will be the question........thanks
Simply register account.ath.cx at DynDNS.org, and use it on yyour server. I recommend to also create an MX record for account.ath.cx if you want to receive emails for <user>@account.ath.cx.
please explain me i have a dyndns account... but i don know how set up the mail server and a web server at the same time?.. i mean i choose a subdomain name .. example sergio.ath.cx. thats the domain name that points to my dynamic ip. but how do i point to my mail server if sergio.ath.cx its the web server? there are two options in the modifying link... "Enable Wildcard" -> i cant understand why its this for "Mail Exchanger" (optional) -> i think this is for mail servers but i dont know what im supossed to put in.... hostname.sergio.ath.cx? or anotherthing.ath.cx, or what? that will be my question (excuse my awful english)
I guess you're thinking of a web server and a mail server as two different physical machines. This is not true. In fact, a web server and mail server are software packages that can run on the same hardware and IP address. So sergio.ath.cx can be a web- and mail server at the same time. I guess it's a wildcard, so that any subdomain of sergio.ath.cx, e.g. anything.sergio.ath.cx would point to the IP address you specify there. Would be sergio.ath.cx.
