mail

Hi all, I've been setting up mail servers on FreeBSD and OpenBSD for a while and got tired of repeating the same steps every time, so I wrote a set of Ansible playbooks to automate the whole thing. mail-bsd deploys a complete mail stack from scratch with a single command: - OpenSMTPD — MTA...

Hi, I upgraded my server from 14.3-RELEASE to 14.4-RELEASE yesterday and noticed that this file was replaced with a generic one during the upgrade process. I believe there should be a prompt asking the user if they want to keep it or not during the upgrade, just like the one for ssh. Has anyone...

Hi everyone, I'm on a quest to fine tune the configuration of a few jails I'm running, and one thing I'd like to do is disable periodic jobs that are either undesired and/or redundant for jails, and to get all of the remaining output sent to log files, rather than being delivered by mail...

Setting up MediaWiki in a 14.3R jail with default `dma` mail config + `SMART_HOST`` set to host system (also 14.3R) running sendmail. I couldn't get email to send. dma -> sendmail (SMTP) was rejecting with: 421 4.5.0 Bare carriage return (CR) not allowed and leaving the message stuck in dma's...

Hi everybody! I'm running FreeBSD 13.4 and I see that /usr/bin/mailx is just a hard link for /usr/bin/mail: $ ls -l /usr/bin/mail /usr/bin/mailx -r-xr-xr-x 3 root wheel 105896 Sep 13 11:12 /usr/bin/mail -r-xr-xr-x 3 root wheel 105896 Sep 13 11:12 /usr/bin/mailx As far as I know, mailx...

For a few servers I must use postfix, what is the best way of replacing dma with postfix?

I have setup an intranet SMPT/Mail server in a FreeBSD Jail IP: 192.168.0.31 following the instructions in this post https://it-notes.dragas.net/2024/03/08/make-your-own-email-server-freebsd-opensmptd-rspamd-dovecot-part1/ but just not configuring Redis nor an apache server not any form of...

I am configuring a new migration install of mail/py-spf-engine on FreeBSD 14 and the service won't run for me, that is, # service pyspf-milter restart pyspf_milter not running? (check /var/run/pyspf-milter/pyspf-milter.pid). Starting pyspf_milter. Then silently fails to be running. I'm not...

Dear FreeBSD users, I am running a mail server with OpenBSD opensmtpd for mail delivery and Dovecot for IMAP access. The server accepts mail for two domains, let's call them domain1 and domain2. Users authenticate against the system /etc/passwd file, meaning they log in to SMTP/IMAP only using...

HI, FreeBSD Gurus ! Please suggest me tool/sys utility/script that : - constantly running in a background under root privilege; - saving local-attached terminal (monitor on server's VGA output, no any GUI used) screenshot to destination folder; - periodically (hourly or daily, or certain day of...

Good evening, I am new to FreeBSD (running FreeBSD 13.1-RELEASE-p3) and have troubles with setting up OpenSMTPD to redirect the output of periodic to my e-mail adress. I have followed this blog post to get me started, but since it was written, the syntax of OpenSMTPDs configuration file...

I quite like mail/claws-mail and its plugins. I've been diving into using PGP to sign email and done so before using Kmail, but Claws Mail requires the plugin mail/claws-mail-pgp. I've never used this before but I know I have a good key to use and its stored in .gnupg (where it should be)...

I noticed that the mail command doesn't work, that is does not send mails or see sent mails. Have I missed some configuration during the install? I expected it just to work locally like it did with NetBSD. I.e. mail root and a subject and some text does not send a mail to root and neither does...

Hey guys this is my first thread, yay! I've just set up a server with FreeBSD 12.2 and changed the mail address in /etc/mail/aliases (root: my@mail.foo) To rebuild the aliases.db (which doesn't exist) I've used the following command: root@***:/etc/mail # newaliases WARNING: cannot open...

I use Sylpheed as mail client for one of my (old) mail accounts. It's so old that I still receive mail via POP, not IMAP (I have that option, but haven't used it yet). I have used mail/py-spambayes as the anti-spam filter solution for this for many years. Alas, py-spambayes works only with...

Hello FreeBSD community, first poster here. I hope my question won't be considered too general or not technical enough. I have currently a dozen jails (and still growing) in my server (FreeBSD 12.1). One jail is a mail server (Dovecot+OpenSMTPD), and each jail is configured to forward cron...

Hello, I got a problem with local emails on my FreeBSD box after last upgrade of OpenSMTPd 6.6.4p1. Previously it worked well, but now: $ mail -v root Subject: test some message . EOT <<< 220 # ESMTP OpenSMTPD >>> EHLO localhost <<< 250-# Hello localhost [local], pleased to meet you <<<...

Is there a replacement for mail/qgmailnotifier in the ports tree somewhere? It got deleted when Qt4 went out the door.

Hello! I have a e-mail scheme working like this: The current scheme works pretty well but mail/fdm has a drawback. Every time it download the e-mail from the provider they are deleted in there. It is possible to parse a flag to mail/fdm not delete the e-mails at the provider but every time it...
