VItrual Mail Server

nighthawk · 2011-03-07 02:13:03

Hey,

i've been trying to find a way for a vitrual mail server setup but can't seem to find one that actually work, i've followed this guide completely:

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Postfix
and also tried https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Si … ail_System

but neither one have seemed to work.

Sooooo, what's your question.........?

tomk · 2011-03-07 09:51:56

Nobody can help you without some information. Instead of saying it doesn't work, describe in detail the issues you have experienced while following the wiki guides.

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Fo … ow_to_Post is a good reference.

[root@eric certs]# mkpop3cert
bash: mkpop3cert: command not found

tomk · 2011-03-09 17:02:45

wiki typo - the command is mkpop3dcert, something you could easily have found out for yourself.

Please fix the wiki page.

Now everything is good, except now php can't send mail:

<?php
$to      = 'eric1@ns.sympatico.ca';
$subject = 'the subject';
$message = 'hello';
$headers = 'From: eric@ericglazebrook.in' . "\r\n" .
    'Reply-To: eric@ericglazebrook.in' . "\r\n" .
    'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();

mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
?>

doesn't send mail like it should.

When i do the mail() function in php, and check that email it never comes threw. i was wondering why that would be,

Do you have an MTA installed and configured? What does /var/log/mail.log say about the message?

OK, well those log entries are cut off, so all the useful information is missing...

From what I can see, it looks like it is being bounced:

postfix/bounce[15443]: 4BFB0376D05D: sender non-$

Why? There's nothing to indicate the reason.
You might be able to view the bounce message in /var/spool/mail/http

nighthawk · 2011-03-10 23:43:17

There is nothing in /var/sppol/mail/http it says no such file or folder.
but i managed to get a full log from mail.log

status=bounced (host mx.bellaliant.net[4.59.182.109] said: 553 eric.localdomain does not exist (in reply to MAIL FROM command))

You are sending mail from "eric.localdomain" which isn't a valid domain outside your network. You need to setup Postfix to append the correct domain.
