Need urgent help

[MiniMe]

Hey yall,

i got an email server set up thx to falko and co with anti spam and anti virus following the Suse 11 server guide setup.

Now, a friend of mine asked, if i can add his domain temporarly for receiving mails.

Is this possible? Can i add 2 domains for sending / receiving mails on my server.

And if so, how does one do this ?

Please, need this urgently ! All help will be much appreciated by my friend !

PS: atm i handle mail on my mailsystem for domain evil-hannie.eu , his domain is paulsexton.me.uk

ok ive read this and its exactly as i have done, the only concern i have now is :

how does my user get his email ? i mean :

ofc he sets his pop server to my mailserver, and he has to use the system user account i created for him ? ( login and password wise ) or what details does he need to login to his mailbox ?

Regards,

[sjau]

the ssh username and ssh password will him login to his mailbox.

[MiniMe]

the ssh username and ssh password will him login to his mailbox.

thanks a lot

last question, this guy asked me if he can use my mailserver as smtp ( for sending mails ) ...

I dont know about this, but does the setup guide i posted earlier shows you how to configure this crap ?

Rgrds,

[MiniMe]

The guy tells me, when he uses my server as SMTP server, he gets, relay access denied ...

[edge]

Make sure that the guy sets his outgoing server (SMTP) to use the same settings as his incoming mail settings

[MiniMe]

The difference is between him and me is :

i use the smtp server from my isp

but he has to use mine . so he set it to be mine, but he gets relay access denied ...

[falko]

He must enable "Server requires authentication" in his email client.

[MiniMe]

He must enable "Server requires authentication" in his email client.

that setting is related to using MY smtp server ?

rgrds,

[MiniMe]

He must enable "Server requires authentication" in his email client.

he did

he still gets relay access denied

Are you 100% sure that the username and password are correct? What's in the mail log when he tries to send an email?

[MiniMe]

Yes he is.

He is using smtp auth and this is the log :

Dec 4 12:13:56 Artemis postfix/smtpd[3909]: connect from 94-193-249-120.zone7.bethere.co.uk[94.193.249.120]

falko, any possible update on this ? :)

[sjau]

tell him to try and connect and you check the logs on the server... that should give you clues.

[falko]

If you change that user's shell to /bin/bash in /etc/passwd, can that user log using SSH?

[MiniMe]

If you change that user's shell to /bin/bash in /etc/passwd, can that user log using SSH?

It is / was / by default set as /bin/bash so yes this user can login using SSH.

I did not change this.

[falko]

Did you disable AppArmor?

[MiniMe]

Did you disable AppArmor?

Remind you : you are alkting to a emailserver noob, wtf is apparmor ? :p
And how do i check if its enabled / disabled / active or whatever ? :)

[falko]

Take a look at chapter 16 on http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-server-opensuse11-p6 :)

done to be honest... Should i not just add his domain somewhere that allows it to send mail trough my smtp server ? :s

[falko]

But your main.cf is looking different. For example, where's the line
content_filter = amavis:[127.0.0.1]:10024
coming from?

thats just the antivirus shit to be honest...

anything else im missing ... ?

[falko]

I'd set up the system again, just following the "Perfect Server" (nothing else). Afterwards you should check if everything's working before you set up other things on the system.

Or... Pay till or falko a small fee and they will look (and fix) your system!
