Re: [Audiogames-reflector] Regarding postfix, dovecot and user system accounts
Re: Regarding postfix, dovecot and user system accounts You tried sending mail to a valid local user on the local machine, yes? What did the email you received in response say, if any? Check /var/spool/mail for a file by the name of the user--does it exist? Check the tail end of your /var/log/mail.log after sending. What do you find? Have you got an MX record set up with owner name of your domain and data of "priority target"?If none of this is making sense then save yourself some grief and set up Google Apps. Much easier. Sadly I don't believe there's a replacement for setting up your own mail server for full control, though my actual primary mailbox is on iCloud; the mail server is there purely for lists and automated processing. Even when you use something like SendGrid or Amazon SES, it's useful to know how to set up a mail server to reduce the submission times and latency.URL: http://forum.audiogames.net/viewtopic.php?pid= 151604#p151604 ___ Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com http://sabahattin-gucukoglu.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/audiogames-reflector
Re: [Audiogames-reflector] Regarding postfix, dovecot and user system accounts
Re: Regarding postfix, dovecot and user system accounts Tell your friend to get their own e-mail account from something that isn't there personal server. You've probably got a firewall issue, possibly got a DNS issue, might be blocked by the mail provider for some reason, the list goes on. You will probably get it working, but who knows for how long, and then you'll have to fix it because your friend doesn't know how (you learned all that information at setup, not him). This can only be diagnosed from half the process; you don't have access to the mail server sending you the mail to find out what's going on over there. The most helpful answer for you is don't. If you did know what you were doing, you wouldn't have to ask the question; they are mutually exclusive states. I'm not saying you're not intelligent, or anything, merely that taking 5 minutes to set up an e-mail account somewhere is a whole lot better than taking 5 hours to set up a mail server , can do all the same things, and will save you from many hours of heartache later. Either way, very few people on this forum will know how to do this. I probably could, but would have to do a lot of googling/etc first. You'd probably have better luck with this question if you went somewhere like stackoverflow.URL: http://forum.audiogames.net/viewtopic.php?pid=151570#p151570 ___ Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com http://sabahattin-gucukoglu.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/audiogames-reflector
Re: [Audiogames-reflector] Regarding postfix, dovecot and user system accounts
Re: Regarding postfix, dovecot and user system accounts not unless you know what you are doing with setting one up. and yes, I do have my own email server on kjscradio.com. but, I'm doing on for a friend of mine but I will aggree with you, that this is really complex to set up.. you have o know what you are doing or else you will break something. and possibly do things that you don't want to do. but yeah... it does work, well, the sending email part of it does, but the receiving email end of it doesn't work... If i can get that fix, I I will be happy of myself.URL: http://forum.audiogames.net/viewtopic.php?pid=151557#p151557 ___ Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com http://sabahattin-gucukoglu.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/audiogames-reflector
Re: [Audiogames-reflector] Regarding postfix, dovecot and user system accounts
Re: Regarding postfix, dovecot and user system accounts This is complicated. The one thing everyone I know here at college in the computer science department says don't do yourself is mail servers. I don't know why. Just use gmail and be done with it, avoiding the unneeded complexity. If you need mailing lists, there are places to get those, too. Same for notification e-mail sending for apps.URL: http://forum.audiogames.net/viewtopic.php?pid=151553#p151553 ___ Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com http://sabahattin-gucukoglu.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/audiogames-reflector
[Audiogames-reflector] Regarding postfix, dovecot and user system accounts
Regarding postfix, dovecot and user system accounts hello people. I'm having a question for you all... I wouldn't normally post this kind of question here, but, as I have my own ubuntu server up and running with my own mail server, that someone setup for me, I have decided to work on a friends server because of stuff that I will not say here as of yet. but, anyways, I'm running postfix with Dovecot and using system user accounts for authentication. Everything seems to work out okay, I can send emails to different email servers, but I cannot receive email coming into the server. I know I have configured it right, or so I think. ah, just wundering, would this type of thing be an mx recored problem? I begin to wunder that as well because of the fact, I have purposely sent an email on the same server, but to a non existing user account stored on the server. again, mx recored problem? As I have said before, I can send, but I can't receive email. is there something else I should do? or is the mx reco red the only thing I should worry about? thanks all and I'm sorry for this long post here.URL: http://forum.audiogames.net/viewtopic.php?pid=151505#p151505 ___ Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com http://sabahattin-gucukoglu.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/audiogames-reflector
