| Sparkee | do you guys know how can I specify the relay/smtp server to be used by sm-mta? | 13:20 |
|---|---|---|
| Sparkee | so I avoid issues like Jul 13 13:14:17 my-server.hostname.com sm-mta[15339]: 169GH1sX018435: to=admins@hostname.com, ctladdr=<root@my-server.hostname.com> (0/0), delay=3+20:57:16, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=esmtp, pri=931101, relay=alt3.aspmx.l.google.com., dsn=4.0.0, stat=Deferred: Connection refused by alt3.aspmx.l.google.com. | 13:24 |
| Sparkee | my server does not have a public IP | 13:24 |
| rbasak | Why are you using sendmail? | 13:26 |
| rbasak | Here are instructions for postfix: https://askubuntu.com/questions/228938/how-can-i-configure-postfix-to-send-all-email-through-my-gmail-account | 13:26 |
| rbasak | postfix is in main in Ubuntu, unlike sendmail, so better supported, and you'll be able to get better community help with it. | 13:26 |
| Sparkee | rbasak: the funny thing is that I updated /etc/mail/submit.cf, the did a 'mane -C /etc/mail' then reloaded, and IF I send an email by command line the system will use the email server specified on submit.cf, but system emails / root emails are ignoring this setting | 13:29 |
| Sparkee | if possible I'd like to keep the default sendmail, there must be a setting for it | 13:30 |
| rbasak | Sparkee: sendmail isn't default on Ubuntu. | 13:34 |
| Sparkee | rbasak: oh, I saw /etc/cron.d/sendmail and I thought it is, what is the default? | 13:35 |
| rbasak | postfix | 13:35 |
| rbasak | How did you end up with sendmail installed? | 13:35 |
| rbasak | It's not there by default. | 13:35 |
| Sparkee | hmmm, I'm not seeing it installed | 13:35 |
| qman | most (if not all) MTAs provide the sendmail program for compatibility reasons | 13:36 |
| Sparkee | I see | 13:36 |
| qman | it isn't actually sendmail, it's a sendmail compatible interface | 13:36 |
| Sparkee | ok... | 13:37 |
| Sparkee | in /var/log/mail.log and /var/log/maillog I'm seeing "sm-mta" | 13:38 |
| rbasak | That suggests to me that you actually have sendmail installed | 13:38 |
| qman | with postfix, it's very easy to set up a remote relay, the dpkg configuration has an option for it built in, "satellite system" | 13:38 |
| qman | using gmail for your relay requires more changes than that since they use auth and custom settings, but for connecting to another postfix relay, it just works | 13:39 |
| Sparkee | ok | 13:39 |
| Sparkee | with sendmail I can send emails without a daemon be listening | 13:40 |
| Sparkee | can I do that with postfix? | 13:41 |
| qman | no | 13:41 |
| Sparkee | can you configure postfix to listen only on 127.0.0.1? | 13:42 |
| Sparkee | I ONLY want to send emails | 13:42 |
| Sparkee | but I want to do it from ~50 servers :) | 13:42 |
| qman | yes | 13:43 |
| Sparkee | that's good | 13:43 |
| Sparkee | is that also configured in /etc/postfix/main.cf ? | 13:43 |
| qman | yes, also pretty sure it does that by default when you choose satellite system | 13:44 |
| qman | mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8 [::ffff:127.0.0.0]/104 [::1]/128 | 13:45 |
| qman | inet_interfaces = loopback-only | 13:45 |
| Sparkee | ty! | 13:45 |
| Sparkee | I'm going to give it a try as soon as I can | 13:46 |
| Sparkee | btw postfix, what logrotate config do you use for it? | 16:56 |
