I have used fetchmail/procmail/postfix/dovecot/kmail for some time on my mail server, and have set this up on three or four machines in the past. I'm now setting up a new server and having problems. I've reached the thinking-in-circles stage, so need a prompt. The box in question is called borg2.lydgate.lan, and resides at 192.168.0.40. I can ping both borg2.lydgate.lan and

My daughter needs to send me a large file. It appears that it is getting through my ISP, but being rejected on my CentOS mail server. The message she's getting says A message that you sent could not be delivered to one or more of its recipients. This is a permanent error. The following address(es) failed: anne at localhost SMTP error: 552 5.3.4 Message size exceeds fixed limit

I became suspicious that I should have received a certain message, and reading pm.log I discovered that it had indeed arrived and had been allocated to /var/mail/anne, despite procmailrc telling it that MAILDIR=/home/anne/Maildir/ Any idea what might have caused this? It seems to have been working like this only in the last 24 hours or so. Anne -- KDE Community Working Group New to KDE

My problem appears to be too simple to be addressed in the documentation, being a linux-to-linux problem. This is a mixed home lan, but the majority of file sharing is done between three linux boxes. All three have a public directory, but the one on box1 is mainly used for file sharing. All of this worked well with our old Samba 2 setup, but has now gone to pieces. Two of the boxes are

I've just signed a bunch of keys using the caff tools. A few minutes ago they started bouncing back at me, with the above error.

I have dovecot (0.99.14 under FC4) set up and working beautifully for my mail, handing on to procmail, and handling many subfolders. Today I needed to set up a second user. I added his account in kmail and created a sub-folder, but no sent-mail, trash etc. were created. I have sent test messages and /var/log/maillog says they have been processed, but they are not arriving in his inbox.

Dear list! I'd like to know if some- one has experience with system running no mta (aka sendmail). I have single comp, not server, not lan. Yes! Sendmail is nice, but it is too big for simple tasks I have for it. My intention is to use apps small as possible. This letter gone from mutt directly to ssmtp, that processed it to my isp. (Setting option for sendmail as

I did an update yesterday evening, and didn't spot that it had changed permissions on my .procmailrc. Consequently no mail came in after that. I've been out most of today, so just got it fixed, but what will have happened to the mail for the missing period? Maillog just shows that messages have been passed to procmail. Procmail won't run if the perms are wrong, so where do the

I've built a new mail system with Centos 6.5, and I'm running fetchmail - sendmail - procmail to maildir. I have all of this working at the moment.(I know, postfix was the default, but for lots of other reasons, I switched, and that isn't an issue, I don't think). I am using dovecot as an imap server. Procmail won't update indexes during email delivery, so I'm having some

Hello List, i switched mailformat from mbox to maildir. Now i have a little problem with procmail/formail and headermanipulation of mails. Here an example: 0 * ^From.*gmx.de | (formail -t -I"procmail: gmx.de") >> /var/spool/mail/xxxxxx So, i can add some different headerlines for later evaluation and the result is attached to inbox. Now i have the problem that i don't know

I have just installed CentOS 5.1 on my home server and I am trying to set a mail server. I have diligently followed the instructions on the Wiki - How To on the CentOS website (http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/postfix). However I cannot send internal email (I haven't yet tried externally). Do you have any suggestions on what to check? To test it I used two normail user: giulio and federica.

My home server is running CentOS-7.1 I'm running postfix and dovecot on it. I collect email from a few sources with fetchmail and move it to ~/Maildir/cur/ with procmail. Or at least, I did do this. For some reason procmail has stopped doing its job, and the email that I collect is finishing in /var/spool/mail/tim/ I can't work out what has caused this, or what the cure is. I haven't

Hi All, I have a system running (home based) Centos latest fully patched, etc that is acting as quasi mail server dhcp and name server. My question deals with mail. This is how it is currently set up. Because I travel for work weeks on end, I have fetchmail on my mail server, set up to poll my isp and download all my mail from work and personal isp. In this way my mail queues at work and

I have a 6.5 machine that had everything set up and working correctly (fetchmail, sendmail w/ starttls, procmail, spamassassin) but the MB cratered. I bought a new machine, and installed Centos 6.6 and all is not well. I used the config from the previous incarnation (via backups) for fetchmail (works fine), sendmail (works fine for sending via relay and tls), but procmail now refuses to pick up

Hello, a couple of months ago, also thanks to help from this list, I set up postfix and dovecot for virtual domains on a Centos 4 remote server. I have postfix set up to deliver all email for marco at domain1.net to /var/mail/vhosts/marco_domain1.net/ Everything is fine, as far as postfix is concerned: all email to marco at domain1.net goes in that mailbox, dovecot sees it, etc... Now I need

I could use some help here - As I use Dovecot I started here when trying to figure out why I could not add new mail folders under my Mac's Mail program, but could under Thunderbird. It was quickly pointed out that my system was set up to use MBOX and not MAILDIR, and some helpful links and notes were sent back and forth giving me a good clue as to how to perform the conversion

Hi all, I recently migrated my system (postfix/Dovecot)from mbox to Maildir. Almost everything is working (phone and thunderbird show all my mail and folders with mail) However I am stuck on my .procmailrc rules # cat /etc/procmailrc SENDMAIL=/usr/sbin/sendmail SENDMAILFLAGS=-oi LOGFILE=/var/log/procmail.log ORGMAIL=${HOME}/Maildir/ DEFAULT=${ORGMAIL}

I have been trying to set up procmail but I am running into some issues with using deliver.
