I can agree but it is still the best tutorial I have found and what it probably needs are some minor updates. So I guess I am finding out what some of those are.
The create of the smtp ssl is done like this:
# mkdir -p /etc/ssl/postfix
# cd /etc/ssl/postfix
# openssl req -new -x509...
I see where the mail dameon is listing on port 25, so that is a good thing.
I think that once you get those two postfix errors resolved it might lite up and start working on it's own. I have just enough time to post this, but I remember reading the purplehat guide sometime back and thought...
Here are the results of the sockstat -4

Hi,
I am working on doing the postfix install from the purple hat instructions. I went my postfix/setup.php page and this is what I saw.

So what did I miss to end up with all this gibberish on my setup page?
Sincerely,

Hello,
I have put some upgrades into service today. Did a whole clean install of FreeBSD 9.1 onto a drive then installed the drive into the machine at the datacenter. It seemed that all was fine until I got back to the office and found that Postfix is not delivering any emails at all. It...
It's a GREAT how-to. My only problem is that for whatever reason I had trouble getting it to run on Freebsd9+. I'm sure I could've worked it out if I really put some thought into it, but at the time I just wanted to get it up and running as fast as possible. I'm assuming we're referring to...
I would stick with UFS over ZFS if you are having trouble getting your initial system going. There were a few times at the beginning that I got my self in trouble with ZFS due to not fully understanding it.
However, if you want to utilize all your disks (of different sizes), you will have to...
@da1 - Thanks, I reinstalled ssmtp with logging and turned on debugging - but can't get it to send.
I think the problem is that postfix on the mailserver is configured to use SSL key/cert.
If I lazily test this by copying the key/cert from postifix's smtpd.pem to one I've made in the webserver...
I can't install the ssmtp port:
cd /usr/ports/mail/ssmtp/ && make install replace clean
this gives error:
Couldn't fetch it - please try to retrieve this...
So I tried:
make distclean
and got the same error.
Then I tried:
1. rm -f distinfo
2. make makesum
and got the same error.
I...
Hi!
I have a FreeBSD 8.2-RELEASE and I used this tutorial: http://www.purplehat.org/?page_id=4 to set up a mail server. But instead of apache I've used ngingx. So I have some questions about configuring some files. For example: http://www.purplehat.org/?page_id=8, in postfix setup it is said to...
I am running FreeBSD 8.1, doing Postfix for mail. Until recently, I had Spamassassin filtering via Maia and Amavisd. I set this up originally as per the Purplehat tutorial.
Recently, the box suffered a memory parity error, and required a hard reboot. When it came back up...
I think your right. I just restarted my computer/server and now see errors in my mailog log.
it shows this:
Oct 12 00:00:00 hostname newsyslog[72979]: logfile turned over
Oct 12 00:00:04 hostname postfix/proxymap[70318]: warning: mysql query failed: Table 'Mail.domain' doesn't exist
Oct...
It looks, like you have something missconfigured. I don't have postfix with mysql. I think you should first try setup postfx without mysql, and after everything will be alright add configuration to mysql.
And here is setup for mysql http://www.purplehat.org/?page_id=11
Thanks, I just tested my mail server and it still dosen't work at all. I tried using telnet using localhost with the port 25 and I can't log into the mail server. I followed all the tutorials on this page. The link provided about the mysql tables I followed everything of that but didn't do that...
I checked that out. I setup the system via : http://www.purplehat.org/?page_id=8 that tutorial. Would like to know of the mysql tables are the same name etc so there is no broken link. I can see some similar sql commands. I understand sql code. I just don't understand what is needed for each...
I know what the word means in the English language. Just didn't know what it means in the mail servers. I know spys uses an alias name or you can call it a code name. they don't give out their real names but other agents would call them by that alias name.
I followed this tutorial...
I want to setup mail/postfix server.
I have been reading different tutorials about this, I do have domain. I don't want to setup web-access, but I want that server can be accessed via different email-clients, so is it enough if i follow this tutorial: http://www.purplehat.org/?page_id=4 and I...
I think you meant this link: http://www.purplehat.org/?p=3
I never went through it. tl; tr. I like the "Future Ex" block on the right.
Might I suggest reading documentation from the respective projects that you wish to pursue. For example if you want to know more about mta's you can read on...
