Re: [qmailtoaster] Re: 511 sorry, can't find a valid MX for sender domain (#5.1.1 - chkuser) 554 5.0.0 Service unavailable

I see.  The reason this was a bit odd was that I use the QMTISO for all my base installs and build my web server on that platform.  So I have a fully functional e mail client with all the bells and whistles installed right outta the box.   True that most installs (SuSe, Redhat etc) do install Postfix by default, but the QMTISO is more robust in the features that I want.  Once OSSEC and fail2ban are included and the latest version of Webmin I won't have to do too much to set up a machine.   Did you roll your own OS and that's why Postfix wasn't present? I recently did an update that caused my logwatch to change the mailto: address from m...@address.com to r...@localhost  It took me a bit to figure it out, because the same thing was happening.  It would execute, but no mail, no errors.  If you had it working and toyed with it,  likely another problem.  I hate it when that happens.

BTW Eric, I had your setup  work only once and then for some reason it does not send now. Serves me right for fiddling with it before bed last night. I am trying to get my logwatch reports. I do a "logwatch --range yesterday" it executes but no errors and no email sent?

A little too quickly I'm afraid. ;) We're not talking about Postfix on a QMT, we're talking about Postfix on a host that's trying to submit via (or send to) QMT. You wouldn't (normally) want to put Postfix and QMT on the same host. They would conflict trying to use the same port(s).  What's the purpose of doing it?   Mainly so that script emails can be sent. If the application is not written (or you cannot configure/modify it) to send email that most email servers will accept, you can install Postfix to allow the mail to be sent out properly. 'Course you could install QMT as well, or any other MTA.  Or allow the IP to relay to your local users, etc. There are several ways to work around this without actually fixing the app that is sending the message. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- -Eric 'shubes' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Qmailtoaster is sponsored by Vickers Consulting Group (www.vickersconsulting.com)   Vickers Consulting Group offers Qmailtoaster support and installations.     If you need professional help with your setup, contact them today! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------    Please visit qmailtoaster.com for the latest news, updates, and packages.         To unsubscribe, e-mail: qmailtoaster-list-unsubscr...@qmailtoaster.com    For additional commands, e-mail: qmailtoaster-list-h...@qmailtoaster.com -- Cecil Yother, Jr. "cj" cj's 2318 Clement Ave Alameda, CA 94501 tel 510.865.2787 http://yother.com --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Qmailtoaster is sponsored by Vickers Consulting Group (www.vickersconsulting.com) Vickers Consulting Group offers Qmailtoaster support and installations.
