Load balancing in Postfix MTA

linux-howto

http://serverfault.com – I have a CentOS 5.5 64 bit mail server running Postfix. I want to do load balancing of mails sent/received to this server. My Postfix MTA will relay mail to other two servers who will perform the SMTP service to send or receive mail messages. Can anybody help me with this? (HowTos)

postfix outgoing mails 3 years 27 weeks ago

hi all guys ,i installed postfix to use my own mail server ther is no problem incoming mails but when i tried to send mail anyone postfix can not deliver the mail

this is looping part of "mail.log" file

Code: Dec 13 03:25:44 ubuntu postfix/smtp[7979]: fatal: specify a password table via the `smtp_sasl_password_maps' configuration parameter

I just install mutt and postfix on my server and I've been playing around with it.

I have the following scenario i must implement using Postfix (but don't know how to begin):

Say we have a domain aaa.com which is hosted somewhere (this is already functioning without any problems).

I use Postfix to send messages to a mail server outside my organization which frequently rejects/defers my mail. My Postfix server sees that these messages are deferred and tries again, eventually getting through. Final delivery can take up to an hour, which makes my users unhappy.

Hi, I am looking for a guide to Postfix configuration. I have an OpenSuse 11.2 system that is running 2 BBS systems independently, both of which are capable of receiving smtp mail on prot 25. What I would like to do is set up Postfix on the OpenSuse OS to receive all mail for both those domains and then send the relevant mail to the correct BBS.

I am concerned my mail server setup may cause some ISPs to reject mail that is sent by it.

I am using Postfix to send mail for a web application, light load, user notices. It also sends cron notices and "monit" alerts. It is for sending mail only. I guess it wants to be "null client".

The postfix server and webapp live on the same box. The webapp builds the "to" and "from" email mail headers.

I have an Ec2 instance on amazon AWS. i have installed , dovecot,postfix on server, mail incoming mail server is IMAP mail.xxxx.com .

I am able to configure my mails with gmail, outlook etc, using the IMAP. and can send and receive emails, The problem is that i want to send emails through PHP code using my mail server.

Just looking for a direction to go. There are several HA/load-balancing packages for Ubuntu 10.04 and I'm not sure which one to use.

I have a virtual server with a static IP and a real FQDN. I set up Postfix on it and everything works.
