Im just setting up an incoming anti spam gateway. Trying to keep it as slim as possible[08:39:41] <MACscr> i thought dovecot was more a pop3/imap server[08:41:18] <rob0> Who told you Dovecot was needed? Where did you see that?[08:42:16] <MACscr> rob0: well i know its already configured on this stack that im using and i see it listed under smtpd_sasl_type[08:42:55] <rob0> If you're using SASL AUTH, you do need a SASL backend, and Dovecot is one of two possible backends.[08:43:36] <rob0> But if you're handling incoming (MX) mail only, you don't need submission and don't need SASL AUTH.[08:43:40] *** magyar has joined #postfix[08:45:16] <MACscr> this was an incoming connection that seemed to get refused http://paste.debian.net/plain/367367[08:45:23] <MACscr> just an email coming from rackspace[08:53:39] <rob0> You have enabled SASL AUTH without a SASL backend.[08:56:24] <MACscr> i guess i need to look up what sasl auth actually is. i wouldnt think any auth would actually take place between two public servers[09:00:38] *** ananayarora has joined #postfix[09:01:09] <rob0> It is not used in mail exchange. It is used in users' mail submission.[09:03:45] *** Motoko has quit IRC[09:03:51] <MACscr> which the server is never used that way, so it shouldnt be needed. I set it from enabled to disabled and now it does at least get received. It does throw a new error (postfix/smtpd[14968]: warning: restriction `reject_authenticated_sender_login_mismatch' ignored: no SASL support), but i will look into that first as its probably just another config i need to disable or comment out. Thanks for helpi[09:03:51] <MACscr> ng me wrap my head around things.[09:04:46] <rob0> that's a warning, not an error, and it tells you basically what to do.

In a nutshell on /etc/hosts just state the canonical name of your machine and set up the proper rdns records on your public dns server.[21:10:34] <tharkun> After fixing that then do the postconf exercise once a gain and take a good look at the logs. postfix is very straight forward to say what is wrong with its configuration.[21:10:57] <tharkun> Now of for the weekend. (Unless someone breaks something.)[21:10:57] <Sneida> Well the problem is more complicated.. I have my domain.com but it is actually used as a webpage (+ therefor as customer/domain in my webhosting interface) so I am using s1.domain.com as FQDN/Hostname but I am not sure where to set what.[21:11:59] <tharkun> example.com can host http and smtpd without a problem.

And besides the PTR and hostname/hosts/fqdn-setting everything seems to be working. I would appreciate if anyone could look at my domain/hostname configuration and tell me which entries I have to do for "hosts, resolve.conf, /postfix/main.cf (mydomain + myhostname), rDNS, DNS-MX-Record, /etc/hostname and /etc/mailname"[21:25:49] <lunaphyte> i don't know, it might be ok. it certainly adds complexity to things though[21:25:52] <Sneida> Because on my own I am not able/skiled enough to figure it out[21:26:42] *** edux has joined #postfix[21:27:21] <jaybe> it's 'ok' to do that... as long as you understand the implications and presumably-- admit/ensure this is a project box and not a critical/production machine[21:27:45] <jaybe> that's a lot of critical services to be responsible for on one machine[21:27:45] <Sneida> jaybe, that is the case[21:27:54] <jaybe> Sneida, then sounds fun ;)[21:28:16] <Sneida> Ye except that I can't figure out my current problem :P[21:28:51] <jaybe> state your current problem in 1-2 sentences, non-technically; i.e. what do you wish to do/accomplish?[21:28:59] <jaybe> one issue[21:31:12] <Sneida> I need someone to check my "hosts, resolve.conf, /postfix/main.cf (mydomain + myhostname), rDNS, DNS-MX-Record, /etc/hostname and /etc/mailname" and tell me which entries I have to make for my case (www.domain.com = a webpage, so I would use s1.domain.com for hostname/fqdn/etc).[21:31:37] <Zerberus> you don't own domain.com, so please don't use it[21:31:41] *** edux has quit IRC[21:32:33] <Sneida> This is a post (language german but it is basically about the outputs/confgurations) explainig what my problem is: https://forum.froxlor.org/index.php/topic/13270-die-richtigen-mail-einstellungen-am-server-fqdndnspostfixdovecot/#entry31210[21:32:40] <Sneida> I made this specific post+thread btw[21:35:47] *** edux has joined #postfix[21:38:20] <jaybe> that's not one issue, and it's not explained, it's not non-technical[21:38:24] <jaybe> it's a barf bag of spew[21:38:38] <jaybe> get specific. one issue. one goal. explain/ask it non-technically.[21:39:00] <Sneida> Okay, how to fix my "BAD PTR" error[21:39:01] <Sneida> :D[21:39:24] <jaybe> a bad PRT means the 'reverse dns' for an IP address does not resolve to the corresponding forward dns[21:39:32] <Sneida> exactly[21:39:36] <jaybe> it resolves around DNS[21:39:46] <jaybe> contact your DNS provider and have a proper PTR record configured[21:39:48] <jaybe> next[21:40:02] <Sneida> done, my PRT record is set so "s1.example.com"[21:40:25] <jaybe> now test that internet propagation of the records has occurred; i.e. test forward and reverse dns[21:40:40] * jaybe apologizes for using the word, "propagate", in here[21:40:44] <jaybe> ;p[21:40:47] *** edux has quit IRC[21:43:52] <Sneida> jaybe, done and works[21:44:01] <jaybe> great; you're welcome[21:44:06] <Sneida> Not finshed :)[21:44:17] <jaybe> thanks is still appropriate[21:44:31] <Sneida> True ! thank you a lot ![21:44:34] <jaybe> you're welcome[21:44:53] *** edux has joined #postfix[21:45:08] <Sneida> rDNs now is "s1.example.com".. how to make sure that the mail also comes from "s1.example.com" ? /etc/postfix/main.cf -> mydomain=example.com myhostname=s1.example.com ?[21:45:25] <jaybe> !basic[21:45:25] <knoba> jaybe: "basic" : http://www.postfix.org/BASIC_CONFIGURATION_README.html : a good starting place for Postfix beginners, many common questions are answered here.[21:49:06] *** edux has quit IRC[21:50:00] *** pti-jean_ has quit IRC[21:52:06] *** MACscr has joined #postfix[21:53:04] <Sneida> jaybe, thanks according to the readme this should be correct (given the just changed rDNS entry): mydomain=s1.example.com and myhostname=mail.$mydomain ?[21:53:56] *** edux has joined #postfix[21:58:38] *** edux has quit IRC[22:03:04] *** edux has joined #postfix[22:04:38] *** ananayarora has quit IRC[22:04:52] *** Darcidride has quit IRC[22:08:10] *** edux has quit IRC[22:09:34] <rob0> s1.example.com != mail.s1.example.com[22:09:52] <rob0> !tell Sneida myhostname[22:09:52] <knoba> Sneida: "myhostname" : a configuration parameter in the main.cf: The internet hostname of this mail system.
