how to solve postfix errors? 22 weeks 4 days ago

After following several tutorials on setting up postfix at basic level on CentOs for my VPS, continue to get the following:

-bash-4.1# postfix start /usr/libexec/postfix/postfix-script: line 317: cmp: command not found postfix/postfix-script: warning: /usr/lib/sendmail and /usr/sbin/sendmail differ postfix/postfix-script: warning: Replace one by a symbolic link to the other postfix/postfix-script

I have a server (Linux Centos 6) where Plesk was installed and running correctly (except for the mail server which wasn't working for some reason).

Wanting to replace the default mail server (postfix) for sendmail, I ran the following command:

yum remove postfix

For some reason, it also removed all the dependencies:

git perl-Git plesk-core plesk-l10n plesk-mail-pc-driver pp-sitebuilder psa ps

I have a machine I don't want postfix running on and am using sendmail. I modified /etc/mail/sendmail.mc to have this line(hoping it would send mail through that postfix server)...

define(`SMART_HOST', `postfixhost.yyyy.com')dnl

and ran make to regen the sendmail.cf file and checked it and it looks good.

I removed postfix, tried Apache James, removed James, and now cannot get postfix working again:

to my knowledge, I'm using postfix correctly as so:

thufir@dur:~$ thufir@dur:~$ telnet localhost 25 Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost. Escape character is '^]'. 220 dur.bounceme.net ESMTP Postfix (Ubuntu) ehlo test 250-dur.bounceme.net 250-PIPELINING 250-SIZE 10240000 250-VRFY 250-ETRN 250-S

Hi forum!

I've been over my head with threads which never describe my simplest of needs, so I will ask it here: To be able send mail with the mail() function in PHP, using my own server. I'm not interested in setting up an IMAP/POP server, just to be able to send this mail from PHP..

I would expect to find some howto about this elsewhere, so do anybody know about one?

We use postfix and sendmail interface and are trying to send mails using the php mail() function and are getting the following error:

Could not execute mail delivery program '/usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i' in /var/www/html/xyz/temp.php on line 9

/usr/sbin/sendmail exists and has execute permissions

Postfix spam attack on Cent Os 16 weeks 4 days ago

Someone is using my server (probably from insecure form) to send out mass spam email.

I had a look at mailq but I cannot seem to find out where to look in order to solve this issue.

Is there a way to track down where these spam emails are coming from?

I'm using CentOS and Postfix

This is part of my main.cf file:

sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail.postfix

# newaliases_path: The full pathname
