Maybe I need to change settings online, for my domain name. Should I
register the hostname mail as a nameserver? I hope that sentence made
sense lol.
This is a total shot in the dark ... maybe it's something else?
Use the first IP, right next to inet. For example:
inet 192.168.1.107/24 brd 192.168.1.255 scope global eth0
In the above, your IP is 192.168.1.107 and your network is 192.168.1.0/24.
I don't yet understand much about IP networks. What I understand by reading
in Wikipedia just now, brd
I know two reasons for receiving this:
The domain name you've written doesn't exist
You are not connected the Internet
You can connect to your mail server using an IP address, rather than a domain
name. You can write for example:
nc -v 192.168.1.107 25
I'm having trouble with netcat again.
nc mail.mydomain.ca gives me this message:
nc: get addrinfo: Name or service not known
Do you know how I can tell the computer (to know the address)? This is for
the Testing Courier POP3 stage. I skipped the optional Make Postfix accept
IPv4, IPv6
Thanks Mapir
I'm using a wired connection, which I is eth0 on the server pc. I see the lo
and wlan that you mentioned as well.
The IP address is next to inet, then brd, then another IP address without
any /, then scope global eth0. All on the same line. I guess use the
first one
If you know your computer's IP address, you'll know the addresses of your
network. There are many ways to check your computer's address.
From the network icon in your desktop panel, select Connection Information.
There you'll see IP Address: and your IP address next to it.
What I do is
EHLO localhost is command you write when connected to Postfix via telnet or
nc (netcat). I use nc instead of telnet, like this:
nc localhost 25
This command connects you to your mail server. When connected, you start a
sort of conversation with you mail server. The server says
Thanks so much for your help guys, I got much further into the guide this
time.
I'm now at Adding your local domains to postfix. The guide assumes that my
LAN is on 192.168.1.0/24 -- is there any way to check this before I go ahead?
^] means CTRL+]
It is easy to use telnet to test if the mail server is running and I can see
yours is. You can use telnet to send email also, but it is is easier to run
mail muhammed@trisquel
Then ignore Cc by pressing enter, write a subject and press enter. Everything
else you write is
Thanks BugRep
CTRL ] gives me the prompt telnet ... I'm not sure what I can do from
here, or how to return to muhammed@trisquel:.
I mailed myself with mail muhammed@trisquel, and it seemed to go well.
When I try and chek my mailbox by entering mail, I get this message:
Cannot open
Ctrl+D to return to shell prompt.
You might not have the mailbox. Execute:
sudo touch /var/mail/muhammed
sudo chown muhammed:mail /var/mail/muhammed
sudo chmod 600 /var/mail/muhammed
I'm having trouble with Ubuntu's Postfix guide.
dix mx yourdomain.com didn't work; I tried installing dnsutils but that
didn't seem to help.
telnet localhost 25 gives me this response:
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^] '

I mean dig mx, not dix mx.
