[gentoo-user] Postfix excessive logging
[retrying send since it never made it to the list it seems] Hi List, Today I (more or less) followed some howto's I found in the forum to yield all of postfix (+TLS), amavisd-new, clamav, spamd, courier-imapd-ssl, squirrelmail and apache (+SSL) (but without virtual mail setup). The good news is, all that seems to work fine now. So everything works fine upon first (and second) glance except for the real abundant logging that either postfix or amavis does. I edited all the logging-related options I could find but to no avail. For every single mail I get I see a few hundred(!) lines of logs... :-( I reckon something is running in debug mode, but try as I might I cannot find what is (and where it is configured). A log excerpt is to be found below. There is no postfix config in /etc/conf.d/ and the initscript doesn't set debug mode as far as I could determine. It also seems to me that when I change a loglevel in main.cf that that doesn't change a thing, which leads me to believe that it somehow runs in full debug mode no matter what I do. Apart from what I did today it is a freshly installed gentoo, emerged this weekend. Can anyone help ? Where should I start looking ?

RE: [gentoo-user] Postfix excessive logging
For every single mail I get I see a few hundred(!) lines of logs... :-( I reckon something is running in debug mode, but try as I might I cannot find what is (and where it is configured). A log excerpt is to be found below. It's mostly the smtpd guy (it looks like) that is generating the logs. Look in /etc/postfix/master.cf at your entries that have smtpd under the command + args column. You probably have the -v flag set. It should be cleared and postfix reloaded. Also look at the debug_peer_list and debug_peer_level values in /etc/postfix/main.cf. The debug_peer_list indicates which peers to do excessive logging on and level indicates how verbose it should be. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-user] Postfix problems
More strange problems... I'm using postfix/amavisd-new/clamav/spamassassin for my mail server.

Re: [gentoo-user] Postfix and Mailman
James said, for Box A to have mailmain utilize Box A's postfix, in the main.cf file for postfix, you will need to enable relay ability for the IP 10.0.0.1 and 127.0.0.1 Thanks for the help! Just the push in the right direction I needed. For archives' sake, I'll cc the gentoo-user list with the answer to my problem. Pretty simple really. Apparently postfix, by default, will only delivery mail to local users (because the default setting of local_recipient_maps says so). I simply opened /etc/postfix/main.cf and added the following line to the bottom: local_recipient_maps = Yes, there is no setting after the equals sign. Setting it to nothing tells postfix not to try to map recipients to local users, and once it stops doing that, I stop getting an error 550 everytime it tries to relay a message. Thanks for all the help! I have another minor question regarding Fetchmail and Mailman, but if I can't figure it out, I'll post to a different thread so as to keep threads clean. -Tom Caudron -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
[gentoo-user] Postfix and Mailman
I've emerged Postfix 2.0.16-r1, Mailman 2.1.4, and Fetchmail 6.2.3 on the same server. I've set up Postfix with inet_interfaces = localhost so that it should be listening on 127.0.0.1:25. Checking with netstat, I see that it does seem to be listening: # netstat -nlp |grep 25 |grep tcp tcp00 127.0.0.1:25 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 1274/master I've set up Mailman with 2 lists (mailman and test) and I've added 1 member to test. I added my own address to see if I'd get a confirmation message telling me I'd been added (which would help me confirm that mailman is able to tell postfix to send messages out. This is my first issue. I added my address, never got an error, but also never got confirmation. I have not yet set up Fetchmail, as I figured that would be the last step. For now, I just want to be able to add and remove members from the test list. When I added myself to the test list, I looked in /var/log/mail/current and I saw this: Feb 7 11:33:27 [postfix/smtp] 6C30418B04: to=[EMAIL PROTECTED], relay=mx00.1and1.com[217.160.230.10], delay=0, status=bounced (host mx00.1and1.com[217.160.230.10] said: 550 rejected: unknown local-part in sender [EMAIL PROTECTED] (in reply to MAIL FROM command)) I have no idea why it says it's bouncing a message sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED] just because [EMAIL PROTECTED] doesn't exist. Does this mean I'll need to set up a listname-bounces account for each list I create? To be clear, in the above log entry, 1and1.com is the remote mx host for my domain. Anyone have an idea as to how I could proceed from here? I can send any relevant logs/output/whatever needed to help clarify things if asked, I just wasn't sure what output was relevant. My experience with mail servers is limited (which I'm sure is obvious by this message). -Tom Caudron -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

A very good guide by spider.
If you need to change the postfix-configuration and don't like editing it
directly you can try doing it via webmin...

[gentoo-user] Postfix and SASL problem
Hi, I have just installed postfix and have following problem: my ISP wants me to authenticate myself when using SMTP - so (I guess) I need SASL support.

But when I try to send mail it bounces back and in the log is message: postfix/smtp[...]: warning: smtp_sasl_auth_enable is true, but SASL support is not compiled in.

Re: [gentoo-user] postfix (w/ virtual domains) + autoresponder
Hi Matthias,
you can use formail and maildrop for this.
add this
mailbox_command = /usr/bin/maildrop
to your main.cf
and then create a $HOME/.mailfilter file:
SHELL=/bin/bash
if ( !/^From: MAILER-DAEMON/ )
{
if ( !/^X-Loop/ )
{
exception {
cc | (/usr/bin/formail -I\Return-Path\ -r -A\X-Loop:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] -I\From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ; cat
/home/user/vacation.txt) | /usr/sbin/sendmail -ti
}
}
}
This works for me.
Greetings,
Florian

[gentoo-user] Postfix and relayhost
Hi - My ISP has their mail server set up to only allow mail to be relayed through it from their IPs; less work than explaining to users SASL or POP-before-SMTP, I guess. In any event, they made some changes a month or so ago, and I am now unable to relay mail from my local home network through their mail server to the outside world. I can receive mail, and I can send it within my ISP's network, but not outside. I can also directly use the ISP's mail server to send. I am using postfix-2.0.11 (it has not worked with previous versions). I am obviously connected using their internet service, and I think the problem has to do with NAT; the mail server is 192.168.1.5, and has a hardware router between the modem and it. I have not seen any way to rewrite IPs through postfix; is there a solution to my problem, or am I just screwed?

[gentoo-user] Postfix vs. Qmail
I thought I would poll the masses and see what the groups take is on these two. I am currently contemplating either of the two for mail at the ISP level. I like Postfix, but have been told Qmail is the way to go. What do you think? Pros and Cons for both. Bobby R. Cox
Re: [gentoo-user] Postfix vs. Qmail
Personally, I prefer Qmail + Vpopmail combination, since it is easier to setup and run. Further more, qmail is lightweight MTA and it is running on my servers even under high load without taking much CPU time, comparing to sendmail and probably other monsters in the same situation. regards, Mikhail.

Support for it is available, the author is on the postfix-users mailing list along with several other very sharp and helpful people.

Postfix's configuration seems alot more straight forward to me. Qmail was not HARD to configure, but I feel alot more comfortable with postfix. Interesting. That's the reason why I choose qmail over Postfix when leaving Sendmail on my SuSE box. I bought Dave Sill's book (it's a Life With Qmail-based install) and following the instruction installed qmail without a problem. Today qmail is running on a production server, with searchable Mailman lists, vpopmail, qmailadmin... On my box I also have integrated anti-spam filter as well as anti-virus engine. All in all, the lack of clear documentation for Postfix made me to choose Qmail and never looked back :-) Sincerely, Gour -- Gour [EMAIL PROTECTED] Registered Linux User #278493 -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

[gentoo-user] postfix 2.0.3 over 1.11
Hello, recently a sytem I had intended to run unattended forever has emerged postfix 2.0.3 over a perfectly working 1.11 installation and since than. The log says that the connection to postfix/private/proxymap is refused. What's the easiest way to return to a working version? Thanks, Henk. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
