Hey guys, I am having huge problems with getting the emails on the server working.. i followed the "pefect install" for cent os 5.1 i have added the account to outlook, i can email send an email from that account through outlook and it will send.. but i cant recieve anything.. its almost like the mailbox isn't working :S I have read through many posts and still have no idea what is causing the problem.. I have also been looking through logs.. i thought it could be a DNS issue.. but it cant be, as i have solved the hostname and domain name issues... Here a snippet from the /var/log/maillog PLEASE NOTE: XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX my servers ip. (i have masked it purposely) Code: Jun 24 15:19:50 assasrv02 postfix/tlsmgr[5830]: warning: cannot open entropy device /dev/urandomhome_mailbox = Maildir/: No such file or directory Jun 24 15:19:50 assasrv02 postfix/tlsmgr[5830]: exiting to reopen external entropy source dev:/dev/urandomhome_mailbox = Maildir/ Jun 24 15:19:51 assasrv02 postfix/tlsmgr[5831]: warning: cannot open entropy device /dev/urandomhome_mailbox = Maildir/: No such file or directory Jun 24 15:19:51 assasrv02 postfix/tlsmgr[5831]: exiting to reopen external entropy source dev:/dev/urandomhome_mailbox = Maildir/ Jun 24 15:19:52 assasrv02 postfix/tlsmgr[5832]: warning: cannot open entropy device /dev/urandomhome_mailbox = Maildir/: No such file or directory Jun 24 15:19:52 assasrv02 postfix/tlsmgr[5832]: exiting to reopen external entropy source dev:/dev/urandomhome_mailbox = Maildir/ Jun 24 15:19:53 assasrv02 dovecot: pop3-login: Login: user=<web5_test>, method=PLAIN, rip=::ffff:XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX, lip=::ffff:XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX Jun 24 15:19:53 assasrv02 postfix/tlsmgr[5835]: warning: cannot open entropy device /dev/urandomhome_mailbox = Maildir/: No such file or directory Jun 24 15:19:53 assasrv02 postfix/tlsmgr[5835]: exiting to reopen external entropy source dev:/dev/urandomhome_mailbox = Maildir/ Jun 24 15:19:53 assasrv02 dovecot: POP3(web5_test): Disconnected: Logged out top=0/0, retr=0/0, del=0/0, size=0 Please let me know what you think the problem is?..
Please post the content of /etc/postfix/main.cf, but please without comments (lines starting with #). In my conf I got the following line: In your case this should look similar to the following and maybe causing the error: Maybe its also mixed up with the followign line that in my main.cf contains the home_mailbox containing "Maildir/" that is also mentioned in your errormessage, so maybe just a newline is missing?
This is the main.cf file Code: queue_directory = /var/spool/postfix command_directory = /usr/sbin daemon_directory = /usr/libexec/postfix mail_owner = postfix inet_interfaces = all mydestination = $myhostname, assasrv02.$mydomain, localhost unknown_local_recipient_reject_code = 550 alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases debug_peer_level = 2 debugger_command = PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin xxgdb $daemon_directory/$process_name $process_id & sleep 5 sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail.postfix newaliases_path = /usr/bin/newaliases.postfix mailq_path = /usr/bin/mailq.postfix setgid_group = postdrop html_directory = no manpage_directory = /usr/share/man sample_directory = /usr/share/doc/postfix-2.3.3/samples readme_directory = /usr/share/doc/postfix-2.3.3/README_FILES smtpd_sasl_local_domain = safetynetwork.net.au smtpd_sasl_auth_enable = yes smtpd_sasl_security_options = noanonymous broken_sasl_auth_clients = yes smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_sasl_authenticated,permit_mynetworks,reject_unauth_destination mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8 smtpd_tls_auth_only = no smtp_use_tls = yes smtpd_use_tls = yes smtp_tls_note_starttls_offer = yes smtpd_tls_key_file = /etc/postfix/ssl/smtpd.key smtpd_tls_cert_file = /etc/postfix/ssl/smtpd.crt smtpd_tls_CAfile = /etc/postfix/ssl/cacert.pem smtpd_tls_loglevel = 1 smtpd_tls_received_header = yes smtpd_tls_session_cache_timeout = 3600s tls_random_source = dev:/dev/urandomhome_mailbox = Maildir/ mailbox_command =
In your config at line ---> tls_random_source = dev:/dev/urandomhome_mailbox = Maildir/ thats the problem : there are 2 lines in one try to split it : tls_random_source = dev:/dev/urandom home_mailbox = Maildir/ hm?
Sorry for the delayed reply i have been busy. That fixed a part of the error but i am still getting a reply email error saying this. Code: <[email protected]>: 203.201.149.70 does not like recipient. Remote host said: 554 5.7.1 <[email protected]>: Relay access denied Giving up on 203.201.149.70. We can send out from problem server but cannot receive. When we send from a working account to an email on this new server we get error 554 relay access denied.
