OK, i have postfix sorta running.
I compiled and installed , and then started up the pop daemon under /etc/inetd.conf :
# Post Office Protocol version 3 (POP3) server:
pop3 stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/sbin/popa3d
I then modified the /etc/postfix/postfix.conf :
(Comments dropped to save space here)
queue_directory = /var/spool/postfix
command_directory = /usr/sbin
daemon_directory = /usr/libexec/postfix
mail_owner = postfix
myhostname = merlin
#myhostname = virtual.domain.tld
mydomain = lizzynnarn.com
myorigin = $myhostname
#myorigin = $mydomain
inet_interfaces = all
mydestination = merlin.lizzynnarn.com, localhost
#inet_interfaces = $myhostname
#inet_interfaces = $myhostname, localhost
#proxy_interfaces =
#proxy_interfaces = 1.2.3.4
#unknown_local_recipient_reject_code = 550
unknown_local_recipient_reject_code = 450
mynetworks = 192.168.7.1/24, 127.0.0.0/8
#mynetworks = $config_directory/mynetworks
#mynetworks = hash:/etc/postfix/network_table
relay_domains = $mydestination
debugger_command =
PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin
xxgdb $daemon_directory/$process_name $process_id & sleep 5
sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail
newaliases_path = /usr/bin/newaliases
mailq_path = /usr/bin/mailq
setgid_group = postdrop
manpage_directory = /usr/local/man
sample_directory = /etc/postfix
readme_directory = no
I can now setup netscape mail as a pop , and enter my details.
I can send mail to external's fine (YAY)
But i cannot recieve anything both internal and external.
What's going on??
DO i need to use fetchmail??? and if so why does it output :
root@merlin:~# fetchmail merlin
Enter password for root@merlin:
IMAP connection to merlin failed: Connection refused
fetchmail: Authorization failure on
root@merlin.home
fetchmail: Query status=3 (AUTHFAIL)
root@merlin:~#
?????
Any help is appreciated.
I have a registered domain name (lizzynnarn.com) and i also have custom dns registered as part of
www.dyndns.org services.
