This is the Postfix program <postmaster>

I think the <postmaster> should show an email address? (the email address of the server owner)?

Is there a place where I can set this, and if so.. where ?

Thank you..

 

Take a look here: http://www.postfix.org/bounce.5.html

 

Hmmm

1)

I do not have the "bounce.cf.default", so I created one named temporary_file with this in it (as test):

Code:

# The failure template is used for undeliverable mail.

           failure_template = <<EOF
           Charset: us-ascii
           From: MAILER-DAEMON (Mail Delivery System)
           Subject: Undelivered Mail Returned to Sender
           Postmaster-Subject: Postmaster Copy: Undelivered Mail

           This is the $mail_name program at host $myhostname.

           I'm sorry to have to inform you that your message could not
           be delivered to one or more recipients. It's attached below.

           For further assistance, please send mail to <postmaster>

           If you do so, please include this problem report. You can
           delete your own text from the attached returned message.

                                          The $mail_name program
           EOF

2)

This is a no go.... I get this error:

There is NO -b option !

Falko..... HELP PLS!

 

Please run

Code:

updatedb
locate bounce.cf

and post the output.

Maybe something's different on your Postfix version. Instead of reading http://www.postfix.org/bounce.5.html, you can do

Code:

man 5 bounce

 

Hmm I've setup the server with your 'perfect_setup_fedora_core_4'

this is what I get after updating the db (updatedb)

Code:

[root@host ~]# updatedb
[root@host ~]# locate bounce.cf
[root@host ~]#

Looks like I do not have a bounce.cf!

Still.. It does send the

re: man 5 bounce

Code:

[root@host postfix]# man 5 bounce
No entry for bounce in section 5 of the manual

Running 'man 8 bounce' does show me the readme :/


I guess I need to read: http://www.postfix.org/bounce.8.html

Hmmm I'm lost, or I'm missing something here.. There nothing that even looks close with the text

in it..

 

Maybe you must install something like postfix-devel on your system? What's the output of

Code:

yum search postfix

?

 

Lot's of info..

Whats next

Noel

 

Ok, there's no such package.
You should download the Postfix source code from www.postfix.org and check if there's a bounce.cf.default in there.

 

Okay falko, I'll do so, but the message that is send to users

must be somewhere on my my server, as it does send it!
Is there no way of 'hard' coding the <postmaster> to an emailaddress in some file?

 

Okay.. Getting closer now..

This is in the post-install file:

I guess they are talking about the /etc/aliases file.

In this I have 5 times postmaster.

I'm about 99% sure that I need to change the mailer-daiemon postmaster one...
falko.. can you confirm this?

 

This has nothing to do with your bounce message problem. Did you search the Postfix sources for a bounce.cf.default file?

 

Yes.. I downloaded the source**, and did not find the "bounce.cf.default" in it.

** = http://gnu.kookel.org/ftp/postfix-ftp/official/postfix-2.2.9.tar.gz (and also the 2.2.2 version I have: http://gnu.kookel.org/ftp/postfix-ftp/official/postfix-2.2.2.tar.gz)

 

Just found this: http://www.porcupine.org/postfix-mirror/postconf.5.html#bounce_template_file

 

me feel stupid....

Thanks again for your help falko.. I hope that one day I can also help people the way you (and the rest of the Howtoforge team) do it.
(that does not look like proper English to me)
