[opensuse] Mail server HowTo?
by Clayton 04 Aug '09

04 Aug '09

I've decided to tinker with setting up a mail server. I've never done this before... so it's all new to me. I have a domain I want to use. It's set up with DynDNS to forward all web traffic to my local computer (which has a dynamic IP that my ISP likes to change at random.. usually at least twice per day). The webserver side works great.... my sub domains are responding correctly etc. I've added their Mail Hop Relay service to one of my domains. This should in theory provide MX records, and according to their website things are setup correctly on their side... so now it comes down to me and my local settings... and this is where things are not working exactly right. I've read through and attempted to follow this HowTo: http://en.opensuse.org/Mail_server_HOWTO which in theory should allow me to set up postfix. After reading and following the steps (I think I got it right) I've tested locally by using mailx and: - sending a mail to a regular local user works, and I see the mail arrive in /var/spool/mail/. - sending mail to an alias does not work (I see the bounce in /var/spoo/mail) - sending mail to external email addresses... disappears, and never arrives (at least not yet) Is there some clearer documentation that anyone knows about, or some other info I can read up on? Or any obvious things that I may have missed? Port 25 on my router is forwarded... the Mail Relay is set to use port 25... not sure where to look next.

Re: [opensuse] Three different browsers can't access website -- Update and proposed solution
by Stan Goodman 03 Aug '09

03 Aug '09

For whatever reason, Opera is now able to access the problematic website, as is Konqueror as well, so whatever its problem was has gone away. Only Firefox remains unable. I am hoping that the problem will now be more tractable. What I want to do now is to remove FF altogether, including the .mozilla directory, and reinstall it from scratch (first backing up e.g. the passwords file, bookmarks, etc). When I entered YaST to delete FF, I see that, besides FF itself, there is also another installed package called "MozillaFirefox-branding-opensuse". What is the function of this package? Is it necessary, or can it be omitted? More puzzling, highlighting this package opens a warning as follows: MozillaFirefox-branding-openSUSE-3.0.3.3.11_x86_64 requires MozillaFirefox >= 3.0.4-4.7, but this requirement cannot be provided. Firefox here is v3.0.12, which would seem to be enough, according to the notice. Why is it warning me? What is it that I need but can't get? -- Stan Goodman Qiryat Tiv'on Israel -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] mounting my ntfs drive dual boot system
by George Olson 03 Aug '09

03 Aug '09

Hi all, I am trying to figure out how to mount my windows partition so that I can read data. In the YaST partitioner, here is the data that my computer shows: Device Size F Type FS Type Label Mount Point Mount By Start End Used By /dev/sda 232.89 GB ST9250827AS 0 30400 /dev/sda1 34.18 GB HPFS/NTFS NTFS 0 4461 /dev/sda2 156.25 GB HPFS/NTFS NTFS DATA 4462 24858 /dev/sda3 42.45 GB Extended 24859 30400 /dev/sda5 2.01 GB Linux swap Swap swap ID 24859 25120 /dev/sda6 16.33 GB Linux native Ext3 / ID 25121 27252 /dev/sda7 24.11 GB Linux native Ext3 /home ID 27253 30400 (Is there a way to get this information from the terminal? I had to manually re-type that whole table instead of cut and paste from a terminal window.) Then in Konqueror when I try to click on the DATA label, nothing happens. I cannot read any of the data. I went into a terminal window and typed "mount" without any other parameters (and not on root permission because I don't really understand what "mount" does and I don't want to mess anything up). Here is the result: george@linux-kwqm:~> mount /dev/sda6 on / type ext3 (rw,acl,user_xattr) /proc on /proc type proc (rw) sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw) debugfs on /sys/kernel/debug type debugfs (rw) udev on /dev type tmpfs (rw) devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,mode=0620,gid=5) /dev/sda7 on /home type ext3 (rw,acl,user_xattr) fusectl on /sys/fs/fuse/connections type fusectl (rw) securityfs on /sys/kernel/security type securityfs (rw) none on /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc type binfmt_misc (rw) /dev/sr0 on /media/SU1110.001 type iso9660 (ro,nosuid,nodev,noatime,uid=1000,utf8) gvfs-fuse-daemon on /home/george/.gvfs type fuse.gvfs-fuse-daemon (rw,nosuid,nodev,user=george) george@linux-kwqm:~> Here are the things that I DO understand from the above information. - sda3 is a description of the extended partition, which contains sda5, sda6, and sda7 - the mount command did not give me any information about sda1 or sda2. So if anyone can help me figure out how to get the drive sda2, or DATA mounted so that I can read data, then that will be great. I want to ultimately also write data, as I was able to do before when I had this drive on my other computer, but for now I will just get to where I can try and read the data.

[opensuse] why do I not see the emails that I write to this forum, only other people's email?
by George Olson 03 Aug '09

03 Aug '09

hello all, It seems that when I write an email to this forum, opensuse(a)opensuse.org, that email never shows up in my inbox. However, I know that at least some of you all are seeing the email, because I got a response from one email that I sent. When I sent an email using thunderbird from the windows side, I saw the email that I sent. But when I send them on the opensuse side, I am not seeing the emails that I send. thanks all George Olson -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] BASH: Shorter way to do [[ $line == QUIT ]] || [[ $line == Quit ]] || [[ $line == quit ]] && break ?
by David C. Rankin 03 Aug '09

03 Aug '09

Bash gurus, What is a shorter way to do multiple case insensitive tests on a string or variable that would accomplish this: [[ $line == QUIT ]] || [[ $line == Quit ]] || [[ $line == quit ]] && break Basically what I am looking for is some case insensitive way to test for quit or exit without having to define a test for each possible permutation without bringing in a big hammer like sed or the like. I am a bit confused on the test expansion but know things like $line == [Qq]uit won't work. I can do it in case: case $line in [Qq][Uu][Ii][Tt] ) break;; esac But that seems like a clunky use of case. Is there a better way? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[opensuse] User unknown in relay recipient table when sending mail to user alias
by Clayton 03 Aug '09

03 Aug '09

I'm still on a quest to set up my own local mail server. So far, I've managed to get it almost 100%... I can send and receive mail to $USER finally using DynDNS as the relay for sending and receiving. I have a weird problem though with some of the mail aliases... In my /etc/aliases file I have root: clayton postmaster: root abuse: postmaster test1: clayton test2: clayton (plus more) If I read this right, email sent to root, postmaster, abuse, test1 or test2(a)mydomain.com should all arrive in my inbox... emails sent from an external mail server to clayton and test1 get through, but emails sent to abuse, postmaster, test2 do not. If I send locally (using mailx for example) then the mails get through and are all received by the right user. In all cases mails sent from an external mail server to abuse, postmaster and test2 on my domain are rejected with this error: Recipient address rejected: User unknown in relay recipient table (state 14). So.. what am I missing here? Why are the aliases being ignored... and the mails being bounced? The aliases appear to be set up correctly (since I can send local mail to them and the mails are delivered to the right user)... kinda stumped on this one.
