Well, in this case I don't really need to send mail directly from the box. From what I understand, esmtp only uses procmail for local mail, so I could set up a real SMTP server for esmtp to use, as well. I think what esmtp does is check for the @ symbol. If found, it sends mail through SMTP server. If not, it uses procmail. Not sure why aliases need to be involved in this... -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines

Can't receive ROOT mail. Connection refused
Hi, I have installed F11 on to my HP G5000 and trying to configure Evolution to read the local mail messages delivered to ROOT from my standard user account. When I set the proper permissions of folders, I can configure Evolution to read the messages from folder, but I need to obtain them from POP3/IMAP. I configured Evolution and can send local messages from ROOT but can not receive ROOT's messages. I tried using both POP and IMAP, both UNPROTECTED or SSL'ed, but in every case Evolution returns Connection Refused. I tried stopping SENDMAIL and installing POSTFIX, but the exact scenario is available. When I try telnet 110/993 the ports are closed. Using ADMINISTRATION-FIREWALL I opened the related ports, saved and reloaded the firewall configuration, but nothing changed. Ports still are not responding. /var/log/maillog has no related log record. What I need is to manage ROOT's local messages locally, and prefer to do this using IMAP. Any idea ? - Mustafa -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines

You should setup /etc/aliases to direct mail for root to a normal user. Something like this is near the bottom of /etc/aliases by default: # Person who should get root's mail #root: marc Change the user to your local user and uncomment the line. Then run the newaliases command. Mail sent to root will now be directed to your local account.

I tried stopping SENDMAIL and installing POSTFIX, but the exact scenario is available. Sure, neither sendmail nor postfix provide POP3 or IMAP services. You could install dovecot to provide that, but it seems like overkill just to check local mail. -- ToddOpenPGP - KeyID: 0xBEAF0CE3 | URL: www.pobox.com/~tmz/pgp ~~ I figure that if God actually does exist, He's big enough to understand an honest difference of opinion. -- Isaac Asimov pgp5KDAVIYGUU.pgp Description: PGP signature -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
No longer getting root mail after upgrade to FC9
I noticed that since I upgraded to FC9 that I no longer receive any root e-mail (syslog and cron jobs). I use mutt and the last e-mail I received was the day before I upgraded! O also noticed that my weekly cron jobs no longer run!
