Title: [CLOSED] 1BTC to assist me with sending/recieving email on my ubuntu server Post by: Xenland on August 16, 2011, 08:18:31 PM 1BTC if you can assist me in installing sending and receiving emails when somebody sends an email to my domain name.
Not through SSH just give me the steps through skype or something instant. I've attempted my self many times and failed. I have squirrel mail installed and I'd like to get that working with it as well I believe I read that there is an extra step for that I'll pay 0.5BTC to help get squirrel mail installed. Title: Re: 1BTC to assist me with sending/recieving email on my ubuntu server Post by: Mushroomized on August 16, 2011, 09:18:12 PM Im not that great with linux, but have you tried nullmailer?
And if you are still having trouble you can relay the email with postfix Title: Re: 1BTC to assist me with sending/recieving email on my ubuntu server Post by: Xenland on August 16, 2011, 09:22:57 PM Post fix is the issue. I don't understand why it won't pick up on my domain name. All my emails get sent back to me.

Add the following option to /etc/postfix/main.cf: relayhost = smtp.yourisp.com" EDIT: It might be working fine but just bouncing back because of the address its sending from, if the sending address is wonky, take a look at this http://www.postfix.org/ADDRESS_REWRITING_README.html#canonical Title: Re: 1BTC to assist me with sending/recieving email on my ubuntu server Post by: Amused2death on August 16, 2011, 09:37:00 PM Have you set the hostname for the box? Postfix won't send mail unless it can verify its own domain.

Title: Re: 1BTC to assist me with sending/recieving email on my ubuntu server Post by: Xenland on August 16, 2011, 11:35:59 PM Thanks Imma try all your responses and see what happens.
And yea defiantly not running off my home computer it is a Cloud Hosting type server Title: Re: 1BTC to assist me with sending/recieving email on my ubuntu server Post by: Amused2death on August 17, 2011, 04:51:27 AM Well most VPS/Cloud providers set the hostname automatically from the information you give them when you initially order the VPS, slice, etc. There maybe a place to set/change it from the control panel of whatever provider you are using. I'd check and make sure it isn't misconfigured or something along those lines. It's also possible that the provider has a script to set the hostname on your server on boot, perhaps you are setting it on the server and the control panel is reverting it to whatever is configured in the panel when you reboot.

"Not through SSH just give me the steps through skype or something instant" How is this supposed to be done at all? It'd be like trying to troubleshoot a computer without a monitor or keyboard in front of you. I can help you with this, but it'd definitely need ssh access (you can just do a screen share so you see every command I type if you want/have the same terminal in front of you) e: Cloud? This isn't EC2 is it? Title: Re: 1BTC to assist me with sending/recieving email on my ubuntu server Post by: Amused2death on August 17, 2011, 06:24:40 PM Actually whatever error it shows in the mail logs gives us a way to troubleshoot the problem. Postfix is usually pretty descriptive in the error department.
Title: Re: 1BTC to assist me with sending/recieving email on my ubuntu server Post by: drawoc on August 17, 2011, 08:01:16 PM Yes, please read us the logs.
You can get the most recent log messages with: Code: tail /var/log/mail.log Also, have you configured postfix yet? You can do so with: Code: sudo dpkg-reconfigure postfix Title: Re: 1BTC to assist me with sending/recieving email on my ubuntu server Post by: captainteemo on August 17, 2011, 09:08:17 PM FYI - If this actually is Amazon EC2, you're not going to be able to get outbound mail service unless you use an authenticated SMTP relay. All of their ranges drop mail traffic or are intentionally blacklisted.

All of their ranges drop mail traffic or are intentionally blacklisted. If he is on EC2 this form should take care of that no? I do understand that they have strict volume limits but according to Amazon, filling out the form can raise that limit, allow him to set rDNS for the elastic IP and submits the elastic IP for removal from known blacklists? https://aws-portal.amazon.com/gp/aws/html-forms-controller/contactus/ec2-email-limit-rdns-request Title: Re: 1BTC to assist me with sending/recieving email on my ubuntu server Post by: Xenland on August 17, 2011, 10:19:41 PM Its not amazon hosting, i wouldnt trust their hosting services.
Ill check out the logs when i get home. I have no idea who i will pay you've all been pretty helpful Title: Re: 1BTC to assist me with sending/recieving email on my ubuntu server Post by: Amused2death on August 17, 2011, 10:21:02 PM Lol I'm not in it for the coinage, I just like solving problems.
Title: Re: 1BTC to assist me with sending/recieving email on my ubuntu server Post by: DownloadCoin.com on August 18, 2011, 12:36:01 PM Personally I set the MX records to google apps and send/receive emails with gmail, it's really easy to do and convenient. Of course if your running a site that is sending emails via PHP for example you will need to either setup the email on the machine or install the PEAR mail library and use Googles SMTP settings.

If you need help via ssh, I know you told not by ssh but this is the best way for now, I'll do it for free. It shouldn't take so much time. Let me know if you want I give you a hand for this. Title: Re: 1BTC to assist me with sending/recieving email on my ubuntu server Post by: drawoc on August 18, 2011, 05:06:41 PM If you run this command,
Code: sudo dpkg-reconfigure postfix you'll eventually get to a screen like this: Code:
Right now, postfix is complaining that the maximum size of a single email is larger than the maximum size of the entire mailbox. You could simply type in a lager value for the entire mailbox at this screen, and it should fix that problem. 0 means no limit on the maximum size. I think the default maximum email size is 10240000, so if you do set a mailbox size limit, make sure it's more than that.

Just curious, what was the solution that worked in the end? Title: Re: [CLOSED] 1BTC to assist me with sending/recieving email on my ubuntu server Post by: Xenland on August 18, 2011, 07:04:06 PM The solution was to get a different host :P lol jk I don't remember exactly there was 1000 commands thrown around it looked like a it just wasn't setup properly at all. But I am switching to a different host tho.

Title: Re: [CLOSED] 1BTC to assist me with sending/recieving email on my ubuntu server Post by: Mushroomized on August 18, 2011, 07:54:26 PM Its a slug for a game I'm working on, in the game the head moves forward and the rest of the body drags to it, but the still image looks silly so I used it.
