http://serverfault.com – I'm digging the web around to find the best way to configure PostFix. I don't want to install a full Postfix server, the only thing i want is to send mail with the PHP mail(). I know this can be tricky, spammer loves the misconfigured mail serveur... So i looking for the best way to do this. The best documentation i found is the Archlinux one : https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Postfix But on several blogs i found some more tricky configuration like this myhostname = foo.me mydestination = localhost mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8 myorigin = /etc/mailname mydestination = sd-24300.dedibox.fr, (HowTos)

how to solve postfix errors? 23 weeks 2 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 php file that sends mail using the mail() function. The problem is one of the forms sends to a domain that is registerred on my server while having the mail handled on a different server. Postfix looks locally only. When it doesn't find the email address is rejects the message. How can I configure postfix to send mail to all domains through the internet and not locally?

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'm trying to configure a basic postfix server to allow receipt of email from anywhere to local addresses but not be an open relay.

Current config, seemingly relevant rules:

mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, localhost mynetworks = 0.0.0.0/0 relay_domains = $mydestination

If I change mynetworks back to 127.0.0.1/8 it doesn't receive external mail. Leaving relay_domains blank see

I am trying to configure Postfix so that it would accept mail from authenticated clients outside $mynetworks.

When I try to send a test email from my iPhone, which is configured to use port 25, SSL and password authentication, the mail gets rejected by Postfix.

I want to use a Postfix box to do two things:

Relay mail from any host on the internet addressed to one of my domains to my Zimbra server Relay mail from my Zimbra server to any address on the internet.

To try and accomplish this I have configured Postfix thusly:

mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8, zimbra_ip/32 myorigin = zimbra_server mydestination = localhost, zimbra_server relay_domains = example.co

postfix outgoing mails 3 years 23 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

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 setup the email server. I am able to send out mail but when I try to receive mail by sending an email to myself from another email, it doesn't work.
