Hello All, I have been toying with the idea of hosting my own server recently and stumbled upon falko's tutorial with Ubuntu. I have been going pretty well but have run into trouble with configuring postfix. Page 5 directs the following changes to the postfix config: Code: postconf -e 'smtpd_sasl_local_domain =' postconf -e 'smtpd_sasl_auth_enable = yes' postconf -e 'smtpd_sasl_security_options = noanonymous' postconf -e 'broken_sasl_auth_clients = yes' postconf -e 'smtpd_sasl_authenticated_header = yes' postconf -e 'smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_sasl_authenticated,permit_mynetworks,reject_unauth_destination' postconf -e 'inet_interfaces = all' echo 'pwcheck_method: saslauthd' >> /etc/postfix/sasl/smtpd.conf echo 'mech_list: plain login' >> /etc/postfix/sasl/smtpd.conf However, when I attempt to do this, I get: Code: postconf -e 'smtpd_sasl_local_domain =' >postconf -e 'smtpd_sasl_auth_enable = yes' postconf: fatal: edit accepts no multi-line input Where am I going wrong?
That's what I was doing. First I entered: Code: postconf -e 'smtpd_sasl_local_domain =' Which returned: Code: > Should I not then go on to the next?: Code: >postconf -e 'smtpd_sasl_auth_enable = yes'
PLease try to copy / past the line to your shell consle or SSH client. The bahaviour that you describe happens if you either forgot the closing ' at the end of the line or you use different quotes at the beginning and ending if the command.
Thanks, Till! This led me into so many new territories, but to take your suggestions, I needed to SSh into the server from my desktop in order to cut/paste. After some learning, I've gotten it and you're correct. Even though it looks correct to me as I typed it into the server directly, I must have made a mistake somewhere!
