sendmail configuring port numbers
I'm running sendmail 8.14.3 on fedora 10 and I need help understanding how to work with listening ports. I have two machines which I will call A and B. A has two NICs: eth0 is connected to the outside, and B is connected to eth1 on A. A is the sendmail server for the domain and is the SMART_HOST for B. In addition, A is the server for a couple of lists (all legit, thank you) which sends about 500K messages out per month and gets about 500 in per day. The list manager running on A was configured to send to localhost:24, and the mail client I personally run on A uses localhost:25. I recently tightened a few things up in my sendmail.mc to prevent incoming mail with a large number of recipients. I did this by setting: define(`confMAX_RCPTS_PER_MESSAGE', `20')dnl which for me makes sense. (Am I wrong?) :-( In addition, my sendmail.mc contains: DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Name=MTA') DAEMON_OPTIONS(`address=localhost, Port=24, Name=NCMSA, M=EC') The submit.mc is stock and has FEATURE(`msp', `[127.0.0.1]')dnl Then I found out that when I tried to send a personal message to a larger list of people, my MUA failed with 'Too many recipients. I think I know what I want to do (though I could be wrong). * I want all local messages to be processed by submit.mc instead of by sendmail.mc * I want sendmail.mc to only listen on port 25 of eth0 * I want submit.mc to listen on port 25 and port 24 of localhost. The idea is to get people on the outside to conform to restrictions but to not impose those restrictions to us good guys on the inside. I did try to move the line that said DAEMON_OPTIONS Port=24 to the submit.mc This did not work. When I tried to telnet localhost 24 604 telnet localhost 24 Trying 127.0.0.1... telnet: connect to address 127.0.0.1: Connection refused Am I trying to do something that is a good idea? Can someone tell me how to do it if it is? Do I need to provide more information? Thanks. -- Time flies like the wind. Fruit flies like a banana.

Re: sendmail delivery to local maildir?
Hi, thanks for the advice. It nearly worked. After making /var/spool/mail/choeger a dir (and setting group to mail, at least my old mbox was set to that group), procmail seems to store the messages in maildir format. But it does so by putting them directly under /var/spool/mail/choeger so I can only read them after moving them to cur manually. Is that my fault? signature.asc Description: Dies ist ein digital signierter Nachrichtenteil -- 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
sendmail delivery to local maildir?
Hi all, I would like to have sendmail sending all local mail to a maildir folder in my home (thats were all my IMAP mails go), so I can read _all_ my mail _everywhere_. Is it possible to convince sendmail to put my mail a) in maildir format instead of INBOX? b) in ~/Maildir/SOMEFOLDER instead of /var/spool/mail/choeger ? Maybe simply by linking? And if so, how to do that? thanks christoph signature.asc Description: Dies ist ein digital signierter Nachrichtenteil -- 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

Is it possible to convince sendmail to put my mail a) in maildir format instead of INBOX? INBOX is a place for mail not a format - you probably meant mbox format (INBOX can be in maildir format too ...) mbox is essentially deprecated and only legacy stuff (like thunderbird) holds onto mbox. I am assuming you're asking how to make yoru INBOX folder be maildir++ format as well. b) in ~/Maildir/SOMEFOLDER instead of /var/spool/mail/choeger ? Maybe simply by linking? Simply add a folder for each user you want in maildir format and it should just work. You may need to move aside your existing /var/spool/mail/choeger folder - use your mail client to move the contents to the imap server - you can put them back in your INBOX later after its in maildir format. ie shutdown sendmail - then add the maildir folders: mkdir -p /var/spool/mail/choeger/cur mkdir -p /var/spool/mail/choeger/new mkdir -p /var/spool/mail/choeger/tmp chown -R choeger.choeger /var/spool/mail/choeger now procmail will recognize this (its the deliv agent for sendmail) as maildir and automatically store it in maildir format ... dovecot (if you're using dovecot for your imap server) will need to have in dovecot.conf this line: mail_location = maildir:/var/spool/mail/%u Restart sendmail and dovecot and you should be done.

Everyone,
After reviewing some of the posts on this lists it appears to me that
sendmail is having trouble finding the network at start time, and unless
restarted or forced to read the queue it does not transfer any mail.
I have written a little perl script to restart sendmail after it
recognizes the network as being up. This has solved the problem.
I do have NetworkManager running, and could not figure out a way to do
this other than to restart sendmail. If you start this script in
/etc/rc.d/rc.local and create the appropriate sub directory as
the /var/log/smile it should at least bypass the problem with
NetworkManager.
Greg
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
# s.sendmail.check.prl.001
#
# This script will check to see if a network connection exits
# and is functioning
#
# If a network is not functioning it will wait for this to happen
# and restart sendmail so that it will process the queues

sendmail accept unresolvable domains issue
I just physically moved a mailserver across the street to a new office, and also moved it onto a different ISP. I changed /etc/resolv.conf to the new ISP's dns servers. Suddenly I can't receive any mail from anybody. sendmail[3380]: n2V6Sw4k003380: ruleset=check_m ail, arg1=ltsp-discuss-boun...@lists.sourceforge.net, relay=[142.165.72.21], r eject=451 4.1.8 Domain of sender address ltsp-discuss-boun...@lists.sourceforge. net does not resolve And so on. Everything is rejected with a 451 4.1.8. I uncommented dnl FEATURE(`accept_unresolvable_domains')dnl in sendmail.mc, and now I can receive mail again. I can dig any mx record from that server without any problem and I can send email out to anyone without problem too. So what did I not change? It worked fine before as it was, and as I said, all I did was move the machine across the street, give it a new IP address and edit /etc/resolv.conf. In fact, I didn't even give the actual machine a new address. It lives behind a router and all I had to do was give the router the new WAN address. -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Melville Sask ~ http://www.melvilletheatre.com -- 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

Two systems, @ with sendmail nameservers @ supporting 2 or more domains?
Is it possible to set up two servers, each with sendmail and domain name servers, each handling two (or more) domain names per system? The problem I have run into is it seems that each sendmail server is allowing relaying for only one domain name per system. I have tried to allow relaying by adding the domain names in /etc/mail/access, but this does not seem to work as I thought. I am thinking it may have something to do with reverse DNS queries, ie only one unique IP pointer is allowed per domain name? Or, am I missing something? Thanks!

I'm certainly a proponent of always looking for low-hanging fruit, but in
this case, I'd have to say that running a sendmail server is certainly one
of those cases where you really can't know too much and that not knowing
enough is just going to cause problems.
So in the spirit of offering constructive comment, here is some of
the sendmail section of my library:
* The Bat Book from O'Reilly. If that's all you have then you're not
going far. It's really a reference book.
* The Sendmail Cookbook. Excellent to have around. I wish it was
twice as thick.
* Linux Sendmail Administration by Craig Hunt. Very good
presentation.
* Sendmail Performance Tuning by Christensen. Just what it says it
is.
* Sendmail Milters by Costales Flynt. Once I thought I'd want to
write a milter. Still do, but it got pushed down the list.
* And last but not least, Sendmail Theory and Practice 2nd ed by
Vixie and Avolio. This is THE book and AFAICT, the ONLY place to
find out how to actually program sendmail. I'm not talking about
those namby pamby m5 macros. I'm taking about the good stuff. The
stuff that puts hair on your chest. The stuff that makes all those

Adil Drissi wrote: Hi, I have successfully installed Mysql and PHP but I am unable to send email via php. Sendmail is already installed apparently. Are you running SELinux? If so, you need to turn on the ability to send email from the web server, if that is what you are trying to do. I want to know if there is a way to test email by sendmail command lines. You will have to read the Sendmail documentation. Depending on exactly what you mean by test email, there are commands to do it.

So what you want to do is set up your ISPs SMTP server as your relay host. I think the default sendmail.mc file has a line for this, but it is commented out.

If I recall correctly, a valid SMTP server must be configured in the
submit.cf file. The 127.0.01 must change to whatever the server is.
# grep MTA /etc/mail/submit.cf

F9: Sendmail Issues...
I am having a bit of trouble getting sendmail to work properly. Strangely, I encountered something that I never saw before (in messages log file when (re)starting sendmail), but found resolution for, was this: in Messages log file: STARTTLS: CRLFile missing The solution is: 1) cd /etc/pki/tls/certs 2) wget http://www.cacert.org/revoke.crl 3) Edit /etc/mail/sendmail.mc and add line: define(`confCRL', `/usr/share/ssl/certs/revoke.crl') 4) chcon -u system_u /etc/pki/tls/certs/revoke.crl 5) service sendmail restart ... and the message in messages no longer appears. With that out of the way, I am still unable to figure out why I am not able to get Thunderbird (IMAP) to connect to my local system, sendmail port 25. But I do notice, that I can telnet localhost 25, and the sendmail prompt appears, I can, on other machines local to my network `telnet host-under-test 25' and sendmail prompts as well. I am still trying to figure this out to no resolution at this point, and do not know what to do... Another issue.

I guess you have set your Sendmail log verbosity to a higher level. `9' is the default and should not print out so much informations. Do you have set LogLevel to 12 or higher? From `12' on you get TLS verification messages logged. You can deactivate STARTTLS for localhost communications of Sendmail by adding Srv_Features:localhost.localdomain S to your access file an building up a new access.db based on this. http://www.sendmail.org/m4/starttls.html You find all the TLS checks and logging messages in the Sendmail source code, i.e. in: http://www.sfr-fresh.com/unix/misc/sendmail.8.14.3.tar.gz:a/sendmail-8.14.3/sendmail/tls.c I don't know a document explaining the STARTTLS debug log messages in detail. For instance see line 1382 for logging SSL_shutdown not done. So you are seeing a higher debug level here (15). Following your mail flow from the shown maillog there is no problem. The mail was generated by user apache and successfully sent to dant. Thanks!

You can deactivate STARTTLS for localhost communications of Sendmail by adding Srv_Features:localhost.localdomain S to your access file an building up a new access.db based on this. http://www.sendmail.org/m4/starttls.html You find all the TLS checks and logging messages in the Sendmail source code, i.e. in: http://www.sfr-fresh.com/unix/misc/sendmail.8.14.3.tar.gz:a/sendmail-8.14.3/sendmail/tls.c I don't know a document explaining the STARTTLS debug log messages in detail. For instance see line 1382 for logging SSL_shutdown not done. So you are seeing a higher debug level here (15). Following your mail flow from the shown maillog there is no problem. The mail was generated by user apache and successfully sent to dant. Ah... I get it. I clean forgot that my imap server (dovecot) was not configured and running, which explains exactly why Thunderbird as IMAP was not finding a port 143! Sheesh! I think the snow and ice here in Portland froze my brain! Thanks for pointing out reminders that sendmail is SMTP (MTA) and IMAP is another protocol! And thanks for the other
Fedora 8 x86_64, sendmail, cyrus-milter, spamassassin, cyrus-imapd question.
I recently moved my email services from a very old cyrus-imapd server (whose hardware was starting to fail) to a fresh install of F8 x86_64. I migrated the mailboxes from one to the other, setup my local CA, and all appears to work well *except* one thing...one user (and always the same one) gets an occasional 0 length email in his imapd directorythis totally screws up his client (it won't read his mailbox past that...Thunderbird2 latest if you're interested)...I login, shutdown imapd, remove the offending email file, and rebuild his index, and all is fine after that. However, this is very annoying to have to do and I was wondering if anybody else out in the Fedora world is running a similar setup and has seen this. Essentially, the email comes in via sendmail (with a size 0 every time if the emails that I think are the culprits *are* in fact the culprits), gets sent to spamc, and then gets handed off to cyrusv2 for delivery into the mailbox. I've got a bunch of logging turned on for spamassassin, sendmail, and cyrus (although the latter is somewhat lacking) but can't see anything that would be causing this. Oh, and there are no disk space issues and I don't see any log messages that might indicate that I'm running out of swap or anything of that nature. Thoughts? Thanks.

F8 (and FX?]: Sendmail, Spamassassin, and Spamass-Milter issues.
Folks, I have updated my F8 system and my spamassassin/spamass-milter have crapped out. Here is what I found, with no resolution: 1) Entries in: /etc/mail/sendmail.mc = INPUT_MAIL_FILTER(`clamav-milter', `S=local:/var/run/clamav-milter/clamav.sock, F=,T=S:4m;R:4m')dnl INPUT_MAIL_FILTER(`spamassassin', `S=local:/var/run/spamass-milter/spamass-milter.sock, F=,T=C:15m;S:4m;R:4m;E:10m')dnl define(`confINPUT_MAIL_FILTERS', `spamassassin,clamav-milter')dnl = 2) Entries in: /etc/sysconfig/spamass-milter = No changes needed because the default spamass-milter socket is: /var/run/spamass-milter/spamass-milter.sock and no options needed either. = 3) With sendmail stopped, maillog cleared, and when spamass-milter starts: [EMAIL PROTECTED] mail]# service spamass-milter start Starting SpamAssassin milter (spamass-milter): [ OK ] [EMAIL PROTECTED] mail]# tail -f /var/log/maillog: = Dec 2 12:10:24 linux sendmail[10575]: mB2KAOt9010575: from=sa-milt, size=195, class=0, nrcpts=1, msgid=[EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] Dec 2 12:10:24 linux sendmail[10575]: mB2KAOt9010575: to=root, ctladdr=sa-milt (487/478), delay=00:00:00, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=relay, pri=30195, relay=[127.0.0.1] [127.0.0.1], dsn=4.0.0, stat=Deferred: Connection refused by [127.0.0.1] Dec 2 12:10:34 linux sendmail[10583]: mB2KAYI8010583: from=sa-milt, size=195, class=0, nrcpts=1, msgid=[EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] = So, everything appears to be normal, right? Oh wait! = Notice this: = # ls -l /var/run/spamass-milter/spamass-milter.sock ls: cannot access /var/run/spamass-milter/spamass-milter.sock: No such file or directory YOU CANNOT START SPAMASS_MILTER IF THERE IS NO PREVIOUS SOCKET INSTALLED NOR WILL IT INSTALL ONE! DANG!! THE SERVICE DOES NOT CHECK TO MAKE SURE A SOCKET EXISTS AND SPEW NO ERROR IF THERE IS NO SOCKET? If you attempt to start sendmail, IT WILL FAIL. IT WILL REFUSE TO START. Seems I might have a way out, let's see. Lets see if we can MANUALLY start it: # /usr/sbin/spamass-milter -p '/var/run/spamass-milter/spamass-milter.sock' -f no error is reported on the command line and of course the log information in maillog simply says 'connection refused' since sendmail is not running. But wait: is spamass-milter running? really?? # pgrep spamass-milter 14339 14814 Oh gawd - two of 'em running!?!? Nope, won't do. Kill them with: # service spamass-milter stop [Displays stop results] # pgrep spamass-milter [nothing displayed, great] # /usr/sbin/spamass-milter -p '/var/run/spamass-milter/spamass-milter.sock' -f [nothing displayed, great] # pgrep spamass-milter 14973 Geez. Finally - I have ONE spamass-milter running. 4) Starting sendmail: = [EMAIL PROTECTED] spamass-milter]# service sendmail start Starting sendmail: 451 4.0.0 /etc/mail/sendmail.cf: line 1714: Xspamassassin: local socket name /var/run/spamass-milter/spamass-milter.sock unsafe: Permission denied [FAILED] Starting sm-client:[ OK ] [EMAIL PROTECTED] spamass-milter]# === Say what? Permissions problem!? Let's see: [EMAIL PROTECTED] spamass-milter]# ls -lZ /var/run/spamass-milter/spamass-milter.sock srwxr-xr-x root root unconfined_u:object_r:var_run_t:s0 /var/run/spamass-milter/spamass-milter.sock Oh man. Seems that starting the spamass-milter improperly creates the sockets with the wrong security context and assigns root ownership? Perhaps things are different were it started as a service? Dunno, but moving on... Ok, well, let's see if we can fix the security context: [EMAIL PROTECTED] spamass-milter]# restorecon -v '/var/run/spamass-milter/spamass-milter.sock' restorecon reset /var/run/spamass-milter/spamass-milter.sock context unconfined_u:object_r:var_run_t:s0-system_u:object_r:spamd_var_run_t:s0 Interesting. Why did running spamass-milter create and unconfined_u and var_run_t security context for it's socket? Let's check the directory holding this socket: [EMAIL PROTECTED] dant]# ls -lZd /var/run/spamass-milter/ drwxr-xr-x sa-milt sa-milt system_u:object_r:var_run_t:s0 /var/run/spamass-milter/ Looks good to me. I did this so that I'd have a reference for later on when the sendmail and it's milters start running... Ok, let see if we can get sendmail started once again: [EMAIL PROTECTED] spamass-milter]# service sendmail start Starting sendmail: [ OK ] Yeah. that seemed to work... so let
sendmail coming with fresh installation
hello,thanks for helping me previously... your answers were exactly what i needed (NetworkManager and iptables... managed to fix both.) i still have one thing which i am not sure how to get done. i want to be able to use sendmail to just send mail from a pipe... nothing more than that (meaning, no need for handling queue, etc.) so far, any linux i logged in to could do this by doing: # /usr/sbin/sendmail [EMAIL PROTECTED] ... Type in message using headers etc . and that's it, the message would be sent. however, in my fresh fedora installation, i cannot make sendmail terminate... it accepts input from std input, but . does not send the message nor does ^D, nothing. i can't find in sendmail.cf a mention of termination symbol. any ideas? (i thought it might be related to some terminate symbol, so i tried: /usr/sbin/sendmail -t -messagefile=msg.txt which should send message from a file, but still, i get std input waiting for input, and unable to terminate except for ^C.) thanks. -- 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

I have to use mail with sendmail or a replacement as postfix or qmail. Since sendmail comes by default with fedora, I thought I'd start with that. My provider is verizon fios, and I do not have a static IP (although it only changes if I reboot the router), nor a fully qualified domain name. I also have a dyndns account, only the free dns service though, nothing else. I imagine I have to configure my sendmail to forward the email to verizon's mail server. I got some inspiration from Evolution and from this guide: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Docs/Drafts/AdministrationGuide/Servers/ MailServer/Sendmail Besides the defaults, in sendmail.mc I have define(`SMART_HOST', `outgoing.verizon.net')dnl and MASQUERADE_AS(`verizon.net')dnl FEATURE(masquerade_envelope)dnl FEATURE(allmasquerade)dnl I did echo test | /usr/sbin/sendmail [EMAIL PROTECTED] It bounced back: The original message was received at Thu, 6 Nov 2008 22:38:19 -0500 from phoenix [127.0.0.1] - The following addresses had permanent fatal errors - [EMAIL PROTECTED] (reason: 550 5.7.1 Authentication Required) which makes sense.

Fetchmail + Sendmail + Dovecot
Dear All, I am trying hard to setup mail solution as follows : We already have remote server with domain name and mail setup, where we have our website (managed by external agency). Where as, for few local users I would like to download the mails to these users ( at the same time few other users will be able to access their mails directly from the remote server, as they are roaming) . Our local users are behind proxy (squid + NCSA authentication) and firewall, thus could not directly access to any external IP. Local users can also check their mails through squid and web mail client. But to avoid excessive load on our thin net connectivity, I would like to setup intermediatery server, which download mails from our remote mail server for selective users. In the above scenario I am working on setting up Fetchmail + Sendmail + Dovecot + squirrel mail (hope I have choosen the right combination) After googling too much I could not any HOWTO of such kind. How should I configure Sendmail when I am fetching mails from another mail server ?? How should /etc/resolv.conf looks like in this case ??

Have all mails put in a single mbox, pull them and hand to sendmail for delivery. To get addresses accepted you can either add items to the /etc/aliases, or put things in /etc/mail/local_names. The alias solution is easier. You may have to allow forwarding of stuff sent over the loopback address, I haven't done this in several years and can't be sure. Set up fetchmail to pull from a local mailbox you can preload, and verify that delivery occurs, then point fetchmail at the real mailbox. That reduces your chances of lost mail. -- Bill Davidsen [EMAIL PROTECTED] We have more to fear from the bungling of the incompetent than from the machinations of the wicked. - from Slashdot -- 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

The OP was implicitly asking why does he need *any* MTA (Mail Transfer Agent) service on a desktop machine. Some responders pointed out that sendmail is assumed to be present because it's used for notifying the root user (internally), which is fine as an explanation. Perhaps if you gave an explicit example of speaking SMTP directly I would understand better. Fire up your favourite local email client (i.e. not a webmail service) and look for Preferences. In most of them you'll see an option to use sendmail or talk directly to the mail server using the SMTP protocol. If you choose sendmail then all your mail will be handed off to a local queue managed by the sendmail daemon, which will in turn pass it on to your upstream server(s). If you choose direct SMTP, your mail client will connect directly to the upsteam server with no local queuing. The point is that for a multi-user system you want local queuing for a variety of reasons, but for a single-user system it's mainly just overhead (I'm simplifying a lot here). Note that the upstream server will itself be running an MTA such as sendmail, postfix, exim etc. poc -- 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

I often seem to mis-interpret the word desktop, as eg in desktop environment or desktop manager. It seems to be a word with several different meanings. Yes, it could be used to indicate a program set (GUI, office productivity programs), or a single user machine that can be powered down at any time, or several other concepts that aren't always true. With Linux, any machine might be multi-user and/or running network services for others, and none of the programs necessarily run on the physical device that displays them (think ssh, remote X, or freenx/NX). On desktops some people might prefer to configure their MUA(s) to speak SMTP directly with an ISP or 3rd party relay, but the preference is more likely due to the nicer fill-in-the-form configuration interface instead of the overall functionality. I must admit I'm rather ignorant in this area. Are you just saying you could use another program in place of sendmail? You could (postfix is functionally equivalent), but what I meant was that sendmail could have a GUI config tool that took the same information as you provide a GUI MUA. It doesn't, and since it has so many options and a cryptic text config file, many users may not bother making it work in their situations. I understand that; but it is easy enough to turn off the sendmail service and start some other service, if that is what you want. You can bypass it completely if you configure your MUA to use some other server and don't use any traditional unix style mail. Perhaps if you gave an explicit example of speaking SMTP directly I would understand better. Modern MUA's have network POP/IMAP reception and STMP sending protocols built in. You can configure those to work directly with any network target(s) you want. In an office, that might be your company's mail server - at home it might be your ISP or 3rd party services like gmail. Whenever you send or receive mail, the MUA will connect over the network to the configured server(s) without needing any local sendmail support. However, in the traditional unix mail scheme, senders like cron, logwatch, and an assortment of other tools don't have individual configuration for mail delivery. The old philosophy was 'one tool does one job well' and 'unix processes are cheap, start another one if you need it', so they just run sendmail and pipe the message to it for delivery. Sendmail can be configured to do just about anything - the traditional unix scheme was to deliver to local mailbox files per user but it can just as easily forward everything to a server elsewhere. The advantage of setting this up is that it is a system-wide service so besides working with unix tools, you can also let your MUA(s) use local sendmail as the transport so you only have to configure it once even if you use multiple MUA's or have multiple users or both. When you use sendmail for delivery it will accept a message and queue it for delivery with automatic retries if it can't reach the relay immediately. This may or may not be better than seeing it in your MUA's outbox until it is delivered at least to a reliable forwarding relay. -- Les Mikesell [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- 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

OK, I see that I can indeed do this with kmail, indeed I am doing it. But I would have described that as using kmail as my MTA in place of sendmail for sending mail. Kmail, Evolution etc. are MUAs (Mail User Agents). They also happen to work as simple MTAs because they can talk SMTP, but their primary focus is on the user, not the mail transport. Thus they don't use SMTP to receive mail, just to send it (see below), and aren't considered daemons in the usual sense. Sendmail, Postfix etc. have no user interface to speak of and are focussed on queue management, security, efficient transport of large quantities of mail for many users etc. What about receiving email - don't I have to run rmail or equivalent? The MUAs receive mail by a variety of methods, the most popular being IMAP and POP. In this sense they aren't acting as MTAs but as windows into a mail store maintained elsewhere, i.e. where an SMTP service is being run by some MTA daemon. The original model of MTS/MUA (MTS is Mail Transfer Service, meaning roughly the collection of interconnected MTAs on the Internet) assumed that the user would have a local MTA depositing mail in a local store to be picked up by his MUA. POP and IMAP were invented in recognition of the fact that many users aren't going to run a full MTA and that the store is not local but exists on a remote server. poc -- 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

I have tried to connect Dovecot through Evolution on that client which
