Hey, first post here. I'm a Linux newb and these walk throughs are great. I was able to get the server up and running within a couple hours. I even got the server working in a RAID0 configuration (Ooooo...Aaaaa) However I would like to host multiple domains and multiple emails per domain. From what I have read the easiest way to do this is with Virtual Domains. I've found walk throughs for VDs but not for CertOS. Since I'm so green at Linux, I can't figure out how to get it working. I'm pretty sure I've screwed things up pretty good now cause I can't even connect to the SMTP server that I've just made...I don't get a response at all. I pretty much have my setup as described in the perfect setup, might be some small changes as I've tried to mix this setup with another and another to see if I can get it working. I'm sorry if this question has been asked before, I couldn't find it on google. Also, please bear with me as I'm very basic with linux right now and I can't wrap my head around being able to get this thing working. Thanks for any help you can provide! PS - On a side note, I ran into an error during install: # mysqladmin -h 127.0.0.1 -u root password password mysqladmin: connect to server at '127.0.0.1' failed error: 'Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)' Or in the place of 127.0.0.1 I had the server name but it didn't make a difference. Not sure if that will be part of the problem or not but I'm sure I did something wrong here.
That should be Code: # mysqladmin -h 127.0.0.1 -u root -p password Or leave 'password' out, and you'll be prompted to enter your password secretly.
What are you referring to when you say "virtual users"? Do you think of Postfix with MySQL and virtual users?
That's what I've read it's called. Have mysql as a back end where postfix pulls the info. People seem to call it Virtual Users. Also would like to have dovecot for an imap service like in the perfect setup. Thanks.
Take a look here: http://www.howtoforge.com/fedora_virtual_postfix_mysql_quota_courier Should work for CentOS as well.
Hey, thanks again for the linky. I think I've got most of it working. However I'm at the following part in the How To: chkconfig --levels 235 amavisd on chkconfig --levels 235 clamd.amavisd on /usr/bin/freshclam /etc/init.d/amavisd start /etc/init.d/clamd.amavisd start I get through the virus database update but when I try to run /etc/init.d/amavisd start I get: # service amavisd start Starting amavisd: DBI version 1.43 required--this is only version 1.40 at /usr/sbin/amavisd line 9153. [FAILED] Line 9153 in /usr/sbin/amavisd: DBI->VERSION(1.43) if $extra_code_sql_base; # need working last_insert_id I changed it to: DBI->VERSION(1.40) if $extra_code_sql_base; # need working last_insert_id Am I going to break anything? Thanks. PS - Now for a problem. I'm quite tired right now so I'm going to leave it til tomorrow anyways but I'm pretty much done except two things: When I create the script for scanning mail then try to execute it "/usr/local/sbin/sa_rules_update.sh" it just drops one line and sits there til I hit Ctrl-C. I've tried recreating the script in case something got missed but no go. Also, when I try to telnet to the server on smtp it just drops a line and sits there (In Linux I can't exit the line, I have to close the window and restart the session). Does the same thing in windows...locks the window when I telnet to smtp :-/ Well, thanks again everyone.
I don't know if this will break anything. But you could try to install the newest BDI like this: Code: perl -MCPAN -e shell install DBI q What the line it shows? Did you save the script with Unix linebreaks (Windows linebreaks don't work)? Did you disable SELinux? What's in /etc/postfix/main.cf (please strip out the comments)? What's the output of Code: hostname and Code: hostname -f ? What's in /etc/hosts? Any error messages in your mail log?
Alright, that is done. Didn't seem to make any difference when I restarted the server. It doesn't show any line, just drops one line and sits there blank. I edited the script using vi, so I'm assuming it will have Unix linebreaks in it.

Alright, here is the /etc/postfix/main.cf w/o comments. I've replaced where my hostname and domain will go but the appropriate infomation is in the file. Same with the hostname output.
