Email / Webmail

I congifured postfix,dovecot and squirrelmail in my server. Now I am able to send mail from my webmail ( squirrelmail ) to my office email address, while I am trying to reply for that mail I didnt face any error. Mail logs also show that mail has been deleivered. But I didnt get any emails in my inbox, all the folders except inbox( sent, trash and drafts) were working fine. But I dont know what is the issue with inbox. I have checked all the configuration files.
I am using Ubuntu 12.04.5 LTS .any one have idea about this issue?

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.

I am considering using Evolution email so I can use a new email address.
Can anyone please say if it is safe and secure?
It would be good to know if it is popular among linux users.

Also, I would like to receive emails from other companies like Amazon or ebay. But will I then get loads of spam emails like on my current email?
Thank you in advance.

I have Debian 7.7 and have just installed Icedove email client.
I want to create a free email address so I can have a new email account.

When I launch Icedove, I get a window saying 'Would you like a new email address?'
It then offers a search button for email addresses. Why? If I create an address it will need to be unique - so there's nothing for it to find.
Also, I input an email address I want and it seemed to be saying that the propietary host server (in this case gandi.net) wanted £4 ($6) for the account.

Can someone please say a little more about Icedove? Believe me, there is little to learn from Youtube and the internet.

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.

I have setup postfix in Oracle Linux VM in virtualbox to test simple email sends that I am sending it to my personal email.

I have configured the following in main.cf file

myhostname = abc.testserver.org
myorigin = $myhostname
inet_interfaces = localhost
#relayhost = localhost.localdomain - I have this commented as of now, but I tried with the localhost.localdomain, IP address and none worked. I also do not have my ISP's server details and I also do not want to use it.

I checked the /var/log/maillog and I see the following

Code:

May  4 17:25:37 oim sendmail[31684]: t44LPbKA031684: from=root, size=72, class=0, nrcpts=1, msgid=<201505042125.t44LPbKA031684@localhost.localdomain>, relay=root@localhost
May  4 17:25:37 oim sendmail[31685]: t44LPbSn031685: from=<root@localhost.localdomain>, size=378, class=0, nrcpts=1, msgid=<201505042125.t44LPbKA031684@localhost.localdomain>, proto=ESMTP, daemon=MTA, relay=localhost.localdomain [127.0.0.1]
May  4 17:25:37 oim sendmail[31684]: t44LPbKA031684: to=abc@abc.com, ctladdr=root (0/0), delay=00:00:00, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=relay, pri=30072, relay=[127.0.0.1] [127.0.0.1], dsn=2.0.0, stat=Sent (t44LPbSn031685 Message accepted for delivery)

I can also see the messages in /var/spool/mqueue/. The telnet to the localhost 25 port also works. Is any of the config settings wrong?

Thanks.

Hie, I keep getting error like these in may mail log and some emails are not delivering.

I am NEW to Linux. the most experience I have is I like to use Linux boot disks like knoppix and puppy. But I have been commissioned to build an email server for our company. I say build, but there already is a server here woth Redhat rel 9 (shrike) ker 2.4.26 already installed. The problem is, the last IT guy left and nobody knows the login info. I can't log into it. Should I re-install and just delete the partition, or is there a workaround?

Thank you to anyone who can help me....

Hi Guys & Girls

I'm planning to reuse my old hw for a home server based on debian.
I want to provide my lan with 4 to 5 services like router/dhcp, tftp, pxe/fw, nfs-server, media-server, clonzilla-server, squid-dansguardian and eventually later on a small mta/webmail, horde solution.

How would you set this up?

An all-in-one machine running natively on the hw or separate vms @ kvm?
I would also like to have a stable and good manageable backup architecture, like using a central clonezilla server instance to pick up everything from the other services.

Greetings and thanks a lot
