Creating Icedove Email Account - What's Going On?

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.

Hi All,

I am trying to send email using telnet to smtp as mailx and other functionality is restricted by administrator.

I am not able to figure out as how to attach any text or any file using the below.

I am following all instructions and steps as shown at http://exchange.mvps.org/smtp_frames.htm

1. telnet <servername> 25
2. helo <your domain name><enter>
3. mail from: <your Email Address><enter>
response should be as follows
250 OK - mail from <your Email address>

rcpt to: <recipient address><enter>
response should be as follows
250 OK - Recipient <recipient address>

data<enter>
response should be as follows
354 Send data. End with CRLF.CRLF

To: <recipient's display name><enter>
From: <your display name><enter>
Subject: <Subject field of Email message><enter>
<Enter you body text><enter><enter> . <enter>
response should be as follows
250 OK

quit<enter>

what is the best way to find someone's email address?

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 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'm trying to send all root's mails to an external e-mailaddress, but for some reason I can't get it to work.

I've edited /etc/aliases with the following rule:

root: <myexternal@email.address>

and run newaliasses after, which would run without any errors.

I can run: echo "Testing" | mail -s "Server Testing" <myexternal@email.address>
just fine without any issue and it's being delivered correctly to my external address.

But when I run: echo "Testing" | mail -s "Server Testing" root

I (first) get a "Deferred: 451 Temporary local problem - please try again later" error and when I then run: "Sendmail -OTimeout.hoststatus=0m -q -v" to flush the mailqueue it says everything is ok, but I then get a message saying I have new mail in /var/spool/mail/root and I don't get the mail on my external e-mailaddress.

I have no clue where to look next, hopefully you guys can point me in the right direction.

Just for completeness: I use mageia release 4 (x86_x64).

I have an Ec2 Ubuntu instance on Amazon. I have my own web domain connected to that server. I want my own email like ron@myserver.com. I'm confused if I need postfix, squirrelmail, or roundcube. If someone could point me to what I need that would be great. Thanks

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....

Hello,

I generated and uploaded a public key through SSH Client software to our dedicated server. It works fine from the computer I have generated.

My laptop windows become corrupt and I downloaded this key from my email that is attached previously.

Now I am trying to import in SSH Client but its throwing error that unable to read this key file

Can I generate public key from our dedicated server and upload as attachment in my email so that whenever I want I can use and access our server from any machine?

Please advise

Thanks in anticipation

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.
