How To Enable The Send Mail For Receive And Send The Requests For The OrangeHRM

Hello Guys,

I set up a mail server in a LINUX environment using iRedMail.The users can only send and receive e-mail throughout the local network, not from the Internet. I would like to know the steps to follow for the configuration. Also i want the windows users to be able to send and receive e-mails through that mail server.
Thanks to help...

I searched the forums for my title and I am not finding exactly what I am looking for. I am not using a program to send mail, such as Thunderbird or whatever. I simply want to be able to send mail from my Ubuntu 14.04 DESKTOP version for logging. I use a program called Logwatch (used alot in RHEL or CentOS) to monitor the server itself. The program sends mail to the root user account on the machine, which I can check and see, and within the program conf file, I can add an external email address, but it never sends.

I'm familiar with the SMTP concept of sending mail, outgoing mail server authentication, etc. I don't care to run this box as an SMTP server, but I understand that I need some sort of SMTP or MTA program to send mail into the real world. I tried Postfix but couldn't get that to work, and the Logwatch program wants to use sendmail, so I installed that but I am having the same issue. I am sure it is a step I am missing.

I also can't figure out how to get the 'mail' cmd from Terminal to work. I use this command:
Code:

mail -s "test" | /usr/sbin/mail myemail@domain.com

it follows through the subject, CC, body, but when I try to hit either . or CTRL-D, it never sends the email, in fact is does nothing.

I also tried sendmail with this command:
Code:

sendmail -v my@email.com < /dev/null

I was just trying to send a test email. It logs into my SMTP mail server, which I already configured, and it tells me to type out the mail, then end with a "." by itself on a single line. I try this and it just sits there.

I am missing SOMETHING when trying to actually send the mail. I can get it written with subject and body, connected, but it never sends and I am probably missing a / or something.

I did find and follow these instructions, but it still isn't working with sendmail. If I need to go back to Postfix, I can do that, I don't honestly care what I use, I just want some programs such as Logwatch to be able to email me.

Hi All,
Is there a way to mirror plesk mail server with another mail server like primary and secondary. The primary will be in our location with different IP address and the secondary will be with plesk with existing IP address but the domain name should be the same like how gmail has multiple IP addresses on different servers/locations. This is for high availability and to reduce the network bandwidth i.e if any of the server goes down we can still send/receive mails from another and when the server comes online which was offline then all mails should be replicated with each other i.e if primary was down then all new mails should be synced from secondary or if secondary was down then the sync should be from primary. Other thing is since primary will be with us, it will be much faster than secondary(plesk) in sending/receiving the mails. So expecting your kind help about the steps or url links to acheive the same as I don't have much experience on this. The present mail server using qmail on rhel 6.5 64 bit.

I receive the following warning : There is not enough disk space to download new messages. Try deleting old mail, emptying the Trash folder, and compacting your mail folders, and then try again.

Dear All,

I am not an expert with Linux so I am seeking your help. I want to send some email from Linux through Microsoft Exchange server 2013 which requires authentication. This exchange server doesn't allow sending anonymous email. Previously I am sending email using "mail -s" command. Can you guys please help me to achieve this. Any heko would greatly be appreciated. By the way I am using Oracle Linux 6.6.

hello

first year of learning linux and bash script
Now i wrote a bash script with a function.
Today i recieved a email from my teacher that 1 function only can have 1 command and no more then 1?

thats a part of the script

Code:

function tx_unreachable_msg()
{
LOGLINE="[$DATE] no ip service unreachable"
typewriter "$NOIPSERVICE niet bereikbaar" .1
sleep 1 
typewriter "Mail wordt verzonden naar $email" .1
mail -s "NO ip mail error" "$email"<<EOF
dynupdate.no-ip.com niet bereikbaar @ $DATE
EOF
}

it's part dutch part english but the point is that the first LOGLINE is forbidden in the function because i use the functie to send a mail end not to write a logline but that's a part of the command in my case?

So what does this function?
If the no ip service is unreachable then it's write to /etc/var/log/no-ip and after the sleep it's send a simpel mail to the adres in the variabele mail.

i read here at the first line:
Quote:
Shell functions are a way to group commands for later execution using a single name for the group.
so is it true that my function is wrong and so no can someone point me to a website where it's say that more commands are allow in 1 function0

Hello everyone;

At this time I need to make a sh script to make a db backup an send it to another server.

Thinking about this, I think I have to:
1.- Make a connection beetween the servers without password
2.- The scrip must to do:
a.- Make the mysqldump
b.- Put it in a gzip file
c.- Send througth scp the gzip file and ONLY when the copy has done the script have to delete the files that are 3 days old.

Could you help me with this?

Do you consider that is a good idea or you have a better one?

Thanks in advance.

So, I'm new here. Was thrown into the deepend (read: shallow pool) of linux administration of a few centos 6.5 servers in October, and I've been pretty slow on the uptake. Years of Windows administration and desktop support will do that I guess.

So we have qmail on our prod servers that send out messages for our webapps. Postfix failed last night on a prod server, and it occurred to me that it's happened a few times since I've started, and instead of waiting for clients to tell us, I should be more proactive. I came up with/begged/borrowed/stole a quick script to check to see if postscript was running, and if it was, restart it, and contact us. This was to be run from jenkins.

Quote:
if (( $(ps -ef | grep -v grep | grep postfix | wc -l) > 0 ))
then echo 'Mail is up.'
else echo 'Mail is down! Attempting to restart service...'
service postfix restart
fi
The question was then raised about an unresponsive process (zombies!), and I figured it might be a better idea to use postqueue -q, or mailq to either see a Mailbox is empty, or look for fatal if postfix is off or unresponsive. This is where I ran out of coffee and went over the deep end.

To get this to work, I thought it would be a good idea to run two scripts. One to check if the mail queue is empty, and if not, send up a flag. The next was to run a few minutes later to check and see if the mail queue was throwing up a fatal error, and if it was, throw up a second flag, which sent out an email from jenkins. Incidentally, if the mailqueue were clogged, this would also trigger an alert. Our mailqueue doesn't get a lot of traffic.

First command. Returns then and else statement without issue.
Quote:
if ((mailq | grep 'empty') < 0 ); then echo 'Mail is up.'; else echo 'Mail queue is not empty. Please check mail server'; fi
Second one... Not so much.
Quote:
if (mailq | grep 'fatal') < 1; then echo 'Mail is up.'; else echo 'Mail queue is not empty. Please check mail server'; fi
You can probably suss out what I'm trying to do here, even though I'm not doing it right. Any ideas? I know this is newbie stuff, and I appreciate your taking the time to read this people.
