Trying to send email from ubuntu server to a WS2K8R2 SMTP relay [12:47] joners1: what's the issue ? [12:50] Well I can send mail to the windows relay using ssmtp [12:50] but cant using postfix, afraid i know so little about it that im afraid im either running around in circles or missing something obvious! [12:53] ok, so just set relayhost [12:53] in the postfix configutation [12:53] http://www.postfix.org/postconf.5.html#relayhost [12:53] for example [12:56] Hi, tried that one didnt seem to work [12:57] sorry, should give you some more information [12:57] i also need to set the 'sender' address as well, the windows box will only accept email from one mail address [12:57] tried the relayhost option but didnt get any mail through [13:07] joners1: postfix only sends mail originating from a relayhost [13:09] ok, any idea how i can send email through the relay at all? :) [13:09] joners1: the MUA sets the 'From' field, postfix relays the message and other MTAs (postfix, exim, exchange) carry the message usually only it came from the host the PTR record for the domain in 'From' specifies [13:09] joners1, http://www.dnsexit.com/support/mailrelay/postfix.html [13:10] also, exchange may not allow you to send mail "From" anyone except the user you're logging in as [13:11] thats right, thats what is happening in this case [13:11] if you have control of the exchange server, the better solution is to allow relay from your postfix server [13:11] we are just moving to office 365 and have a secure connection from the Windows Box to a 365 account (using TLS) [13:12] i wanted to create a white list of ips that can relay email through, for things like printers and scanners etc [13:12] is this postfix intended to work after the move? [13:12] if so you may not be able to do that [13:12] I don't think office 365 allows mail relaying [13:12] it does but only through a specific account [13:12] then what you need to do is configure your devices to send mail from that account [13:13] there may be a way to accept the messages in postfix and mangle them so they fit, but that's beyond my knowledge of postfix [13:13] I wouldn't say that's a good solution [13:14] lol maybe not [13:14] any other suggestions at all? I can get it working with ssmtp with no issues [13:14] that [13:14] points to the windows relay and the mail goes out to 365 and delivered with no problems [13:14] that's because ssmtp isn't a 'real' mail server, and doesn't relay [13:14] it can easily log in with your credentials and send from the right account [13:15] its not logging in though, just pushing email to that relay to send on [13:15] the windows relay is authenticated in to office 365 so anything else that points to the relay is unauthenicted, basically an open relay internally [13:16] sorry, hope that im not confusing the issue here [13:16] you're changing your story [13:16] also, if exchange was configured for open relay, postfix would work [13:16] ok, shall i start again and try and clarify? [13:17] what version of exchange? [13:17] because there's big differences between them [13:17] no exchange at all [13:17] Office 365 is a hosted email platform [13:17] yes, but what runs on your windows server? [13:18] just the SMTP relay feature, part of IIS [13:19] and it's configured to authenticate to office 365? === slank_away is now known as slank [13:19] thats correct [13:19] to relay mail [13:19] yes [13:19] ok [13:19] what's your ssmtp config? [13:19] what i need to figure out, is how to send email to that relay [13:19] two seconds [13:19] ill get it now [13:21] ssmtp.conf simply looks like..... [13:21] root=emailaddress@domain.com [13:21] ok [13:22] is that a valid email in your office 365 domain? [13:22] mailhub=ipaddress_of_windows_relay:25 [13:22] yes [13:22] and is there any auth configured there or just anonymous? [13:22] rewriteDomain=ourdomainname.com [13:22] ah, there you go [13:22] hostname=ubuntuserver name [13:22] that's the feature it has [13:22] the rewrite domain name? [13:23] postfix doesn't have that as far as I know [13:23] yes [13:23] at least not as a builtin [13:23] gotcha! [13:23] how about sendmail or something else? [13:23] your ssmtp is faking that all mail is comfing from your actual domain [13:23] ok, so faking the email details to the windows relay [13:23] sendmail is a disaster, I couldn't begin to tell you how [13:23] right, ssmtp is mangling outgoing email messages [13:23] thats what i noticed looking at the web [13:24] to change the "from" headers to your domain name [13:24] ok [13:24] do you know of any way to send attachments from ssmtp? [13:24] it should be possible with postfix but I don't know how, it's not a normal config [13:24] ok [13:24] well thank you for your help :) [13:24] ill see if i can do some more research, that narrows things down for me though [13:25] it's very extensible but how difficult, I have no idea [13:25] i shall have a read up on it and see what i can find [13:26] one possible workaround is to change the system mailname, but that'll get confusing in logs [13:26] your server will pretend to be yourdomain.com [13:26] and that might break other stuff [13:26] interesting.... [13:26] might be worth a go, ive got a couple of test boxes that i setup to play around with different configurations [13:28] the mail name is located in /etc/mailname right? [13:40] what would cause resolv.conf to have the header bit in twice along with my old DNS settings? [13:41] (12.04 server) [13:41] (with a static IP config) [13:44] hmm... for some strange reason /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/original and tail have my old settings in them [13:52] ubuntu server seems to completely not listening to my file permission, in sudo or otherwise [13:52] res22: explain [13:52] it's hard [13:52] what command are you running? [13:53] I have a group of users who I want to be able to write to a specific directory. The directory is chowned to that group, and the permission are recursively g+rw [13:54] I hope you included x also, for directories [13:54] they can't. Also sudoers simply doesn't work when I specify a group, but it does when I specify a user [13:54] yes [13:54] and they have x permission all the way to root? [13:55] they can access the directory, they can't write to the files [13:55] can they create a dir or 'touch' a new file? [13:56] permission denied [13:56] brb [13:57] Daviey: any idea when the iso started being oversized? [13:57] may 20/01?

I'm not sure it's dependencies - it may be due to pulling in of all arches [14:23] if it's due to all arches, then next upload should help (as it splits qemu-system-common-x86 into separate package) [14:23] but i'll take a look,thanks!

I got a fresh isntall of ubuntu server 12.10. I wan to make it a fileserver as the server has a usb hdd. i read in a guide that the usb hdd woould mount automaticaly in /media, but i cannot find it there... my fdisk -l here: http://pastebin.com/SDDAMXtn [20:18] Shogoot: first, I wouldn't use neither non-lts nor a single usb drive for a file server [20:18] secondly, a server install won't automount anything [20:19] im aware of the non lts and siingle usb hdd. i take the risk, all data is backuped [20:20] oh, and using ntfs for a fileserver won't perform very well [20:20] since it'll be handled in userspace [20:21] but of course, you can always add that to /etc/fstab and automount it and share it with samba [20:22] argh. isee its ntfs. [20:22] is it possible to see if the hdd has some data on it from linux even beeing ntfs? [20:23] its suposed to be empty, now im in doubt [20:23] just mount it [20:24] apt-get install ntfs-3g [20:24] (if that's not installed already) [20:25] sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /media/newhd [20:25] like that , right?

[20:52] lfreeway: this is almost certainly a problem with your terminal [20:53] Shogoot: given you have console access, yes [20:53] yes [20:53] kirkland: the default one [20:53] lfreeway: you're on an Ubuntu desktop, running gnome-terminal? [20:53] kirkland: no, I'm server [20:54] lfreeway: screen? [20:54] kirkland: on the desktop with gnome-terminal it's working fine [20:55] lfreeway: okay, so you're on a tty then where its broken? [20:57] RoyK, where im suposed to find the hdd? [20:58] Shogoot: where you mounted it? [20:58] kirkland: don't know, that's the weirdo - both with tmux and screen as backend it's not disabling the f-keys... I also did a apt-get purge before installing the from the PPA [20:58] Shogoot: pastebin your fstab again [20:58] also I don't have a thing in .buobu === kkszysiu_ is now known as kkszysiu [20:59] ah.. i see it /mountpoint [20:59] lfreeway: okay, I did reproduce it on a tty [20:59] lfreeway: it seems Ubuntu's tty doesn't handle shift-F* correctly [21:00] lfreeway: and it looks like tmux eats ctrl-a ! to break the current pane [21:00] kirkland: exactly [21:00] (which is a pickle, I admit) [21:00] lfreeway: can you please file a bug? [21:00] lfreeway: thanks! [21:00] kirkland: sure [21:01] kirkland: may I use the occassion to thank you for your work, it really makes working in terminal enviroment much much easier [21:01] RoyK, its mounted where i want and this part is OK! now..... i got to find out how i make that hdd shared on my network [21:01] !samba | Shogoot [21:01] Shogoot: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. [21:01] RoyK, thanks btw, great help [21:02] i got samba already, i gotto find out of config [21:02] Shogoot: btw, don't bother using swat - it's better to do the config manually [21:02] it's not hard [21:02] heeeeelp ;) [21:02] no, just edit smb.conf [21:02] there's a lot of help in there [21:02] or man smb.conf [21:03] * RoyK slaps Shogoot with a small herring [21:04] http://fish.dnr.cornell.edu/nyfish/Clupeidae/blueback_herring.jpg [21:07] perhaps a small perch or a roach [21:08] or a northen pike, if I feel evil :D [21:09] ha-ha [21:10] Shogoot: well, never mind the fish, server running? [21:11] best fish for slappnig is : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salmo_trutta_trutta tasty too [21:11] running, yes. security= user smb.conf working [21:12] well, a bit heavy, better stick with something smaller and more spiky like a perca fluviatilis [21:13] * mandoguit thinks that something fishy is going on here and those links are red herrings [21:17] mandoguit: heh - esox lucius is a bit fishier ;) [21:18] or perhaps nastier [21:18] doesn't taste very well either [21:18] but I guess that's {{oftopic}} somehow [21:18] s/oft/off/ [21:19] bah [21:22] soooo ok... ive configed and i can actually see the stuff on the hdd... goodie. [21:23] but where do i find the permitions to add directories from my win7 machine? [21:23] cant see it [21:24] Shogoot, win7? win7 is not posix it doesn't have permissions as we understand them [21:25] ok this is samba [21:25] RoyK, [21:25] yes escott_ samba is installed [21:25] Shogoot, [21:25] i was under the impression samba would fix the win vs linux filesharing thing [21:26] well, obviously you need to allow the users to write to this place [21:26] if you're using authenticated users, you need a common group or a very wide umask [21:26] otherwise, if the system is closed, you can turn off authentication [21:27] security = user [21:27] aka none [21:27] i got security = user [21:27] then just chown the whole tree to the samba user [21:27] errrrrr [21:28] and samba has only one user wich is myself [21:28] sec [21:28] rgr [21:29] sorry [21:29] security = share [21:29] that'll disable auth [21:29] aka "win 95 security" [21:30] perhaps add "guest only = yes" [21:30] but don't let anyone near this system unless you want to restrict data [21:30] s/unless/if/ [21:31]
