Hello, I got halfway through Drupal + Postfix Integration and thought it may not be for me because it started instructing me on how to set up e-mail accounts for Drupal users. Anyway, what I'm trying to do is enable the e-mail for Drupal registrations and reseting passwords, but my test user is still not getting a password reset e-mail. I'm going through the Postfix Debugging Howto, now, but if anyone has any suggestions, please help. Thanks
Let's see. I think I was looking in the wrong place for errors the other night, but yeah, I have some errors; and I don't see how to fix them because it says Code: postfix/trivial-rewrite[3064]: warning: do not list domain [my.domain.url] in BOTH mydestination and virtual_mailbox_domains but the latter doesn't list the domain like the former. The latter says, Code: virtual_mailbox_domains = proxy:mysql:/etc/postfix/drupal-domains.cf and drupal-domains.cf says, per the instructions: Code: user = [username] password = [password] dbname = [dbname] query = SELECT domain_name AS domain FROM mailfix_domains WHERE domain_name = '%s' hosts = 127.0.0.1 mydestination is set to Code: mydestination = [my.domain.url], localhost, localhost.[mylocal.domain] More errors: Code: postfix/trivial-rewrite[3079]: warning: do not list domain [my.domain.url] in BOTH mydestination and virtual_mailbox_domains postfix/master[2995]: warning: process /usr/lib/postfix/smtp pid 3204 killed by signal 15 postfix/qmgr[3213]: warning: connect to transport smtp: Connection refused postfix/qmgr[2596]: warning: connect to transport smtp: Connection refused Here's my master.cf: Code: 2525 inet n - n - - smtpd #listens to port 2525 since ISP blocks 25 pickup fifo n - - 60 1 pickup 25 cleanup unix n - - - 0 cleanup 26 qmgr fifo n - n 300 1 qmgr 27 #qmgr fifo n - - 300 1 oqmgr 28 tlsmgr unix - - - 1000? 1 tlsmgr 29 rewrite unix - - - - - trivial-rewrite 30 bounce unix - - - - 0 bounce 31 defer unix - - - - 0 bounce 32 trace unix - - - - 0 bounce 33 verify unix - - - - 1 verify 34 flush unix n - - 1000? 0 flush 35 proxymap unix - - n - - proxymap 36 proxywrite unix - - n - 1 proxymap 37 #smtp unix - - - - - smtp 38 2525 unix - - n - - smtp 39 # When relaying mail as backup MX, disable fallback_relay to avoid MX loops 40 relay unix - - - - - smtp 41 -o smtp_fallback_relay= 42 # -o smtp_helo_timeout=5 -o smtp_connect_timeout=5 43 showq unix n - - - - showq 44 error unix - - - - - error 45 retry unix - - - - - error 46 discard unix - - - - - discard 47 local unix - n n - - local 48 virtual unix - n n - - virtual 49 lmtp unix - - - - - lmtp 50 anvil unix - - - - 1 anvil scache unix - - - - 1 scache maildrop unix - n n - - pipe 66 flags=DRhu user=vmail argv=/usr/bin/maildrop -d ${recipient} uucp unix - n n - - pipe 71 flags=Fqhu user=uucp argv=uux -r -n -z -a$sender - $nexthop!rmail ($recipient) ifmail unix - n n - - pipe 76 flags=F user=ftn argv=/usr/lib/ifmail/ifmail -r $nexthop ($recipient) 77 bsmtp unix - n n - - pipe 78 flags=Fq. user=bsmtp argv=/usr/lib/bsmtp/bsmtp -t$nexthop -f$sender $recipient 79 scalemail-backend unix - n n - 2 pipe 80 flags=R user=scalemail argv=/usr/lib/scalemail/bin/scalemail-store ${nexthop} ${user} ${extension} 81 mailman unix - n n - - pipe 82 flags=FR user=list argv=/usr/lib/mailman/bin/postfix-to-mailman.py 83 ${nexthop} ${user} 84 dovecot unix - n n - - pipe 85 flags=DRhu user=vmail:vmail argv=/usr/lib/dovecot/deliver -d ${recipient} The line numbers are just apart of my .vimrc.

This means you have my.domain.url in mydestination and also in the MySQL database. You can have it in only one location, not both. If you want to use that domain for virtual users, please remove it from mydestination and restart Postfix.
Mailfix module You're probably right. This module is intended for centralized authentication between Drupal and Postfix. If you just need to send Drupal alerts, it should work out of the box. You may want to monitor the mail log: Code: sudo tail -f /var/log/mail/mail.log If the mail is actually being sent, check the anti-spam folder. If the mail is not being sent, check your Drupal site configuration. The Drupal log will help.
Okay, this is still a little over my head, but I want to hang in there. I could definitely remove the domain name from the main.cf even though I don't understand virtual users. My guess would be anyone who doesn't have an actual user account on my server, i.e. those Drupal users requesting a password or registering. On the other hand, I monitored the mail.log while requesting a new password, and it showed something interesting: I know I left the domain name in there this time because, what, I don't want visitors?? It's just a blank message board though. Alright, what I did was change the to and restarted the postfix daemon that's in init.d, but it didn't make a difference until I put case-sensitive letters in the captcha. Never can tell with those captchas unless they're explicit. This one, Mollum, was telling me an e-mail was sent no matter what I put in there. The difference was it left out the line about refused smtp connection, but four minutes later, it spouted all those original four lines out again. Then, I took out the domain name from main.cf and restarted the postfix daemon again, but same errors; so I'm reverting back both files. I also rebooted after making the changes, but that didn't work. PS Should the myhostname be my server's hostname or the web domain name?
Postfix configuration Handheld, It seems to be a Postfix issue. I don't think you need Mailfix domain to accomplish what you want (send Drupal alerts), so you probably don't need virtual hosts at all. It seems like you want your Drupal server to send out mail messages directly. Thus your Postfix configuration should have mydestination directive include localhost. To verify this: Code: sudo postconf | grep mydestination Check if localhost is included in this directive (my guess is it isn't). In case it's not, just reconfigure: Code: sudo postconf -e "mydestination = you.host.here, localhost, localhost.localdomain" Then your messages should be sent as expected. HTH
hmm, mydestination already says localhost :-/ I could uninstall Mailfix. I uncommented the smtp unix line, and the trial timed out; so I found out to set up a relayhost; but my ISP doesn't allow home servers; so I guess I better switch ISPs.
Drupal SMTP modules You may also want to try SMTP Drupal modules. PHPMailer is an excellent module for remote SMTP authentication, you may use a Gmail account, for instance.
thanks a lot It threw an error which I don't understand: but it sent the password reset e-mail!! thanks again
