eliminate duplicate mails

thirumurthi — Sat, 06 Oct 2012 07:52:50 -0400

Dear Sirs,

We have a new mailserver running on linux.

In which I have sent up a mail id called backup@aekays.com for the purpose of having a copy of all the mails sent and received through this server.

I have set this id of backup@aekays.com as mail archiver.

But I used to receive duplicate mails if a mail is sent to the local users, if the local user is in "CC" or in TO"

Can any one provide me a solution for this.

Thanks in advance. T.Thirumurthi 09943976211 Tamilnadu, India.

sendmail traffic distribution

Hi,

I use sendmail as MTA.

I've two different IPs of the same subnet on the same Interface e.g.:

eth0: 192.168.0.1/24 DNS name: smtp.example.com - All traffic out through this IP.
eth0:0: 192.168.0.2/24 smtp1.example.com

I want to route some of the emails through 192.168.0.2? as well as 192.168.0.1 will remain on the same interface. Any possibility??????

Sendmail log analyzer?

pwnguin — Thu, 13 May 2010 19:05:00 -0400

I'm looking for something to analyze our sendmail system. I can find plenty of stuff to monitor apache logs, and postfix logs, but is there anything for sendmail?

Ideally it'd have top domains that refuse delivery, chart daily volume of mail and other stuff I don't know I need to look at yet.

sendmail on a dynamic IP

Hey all,

Words can't express how awesome this website is and the the ideals behind it, much appreciated.

Anyway, sendmail was always the one thing that I just couldn't figure out. The last time I tried four years ago, I had given up. I'm trying again now on Fedora 12, as it is the only thing left to do until everything is good to go. The built-up dread of this fact has been realized. I need help, here.

I've been able to find a few detailed tutorials, but they all presumed you had a static IP. I do not, and I use everydns.net to keep the DNS record updated on a bi-hourly basis. How can I apply the same for, say, mail.mydomain.com?

I have to make it clear that I don't fundamentally understand sendmail. I understand the overall basis of email, but I don't fully understand the internal process of SMTP. If anyone could point me in the right direction, I'd really appreciate it.

DKIM Milter Install Problem

gprimeca — Tue, 13 Apr 2010 00:37:47 -0400

I am having issues installing DKIM (dkim-milter) for sendmail.

I get this error when i try to build:


cc -o dkim-filter -lpthread -L/usr/local/ssl/lib -L/etc/mail/sendmail/libmilter config.o dkim-ar.o dkim-arf.o dkim-crypto.o dkim-db.o dkim-filter.o stats.o test.o util.o -lmilter /etc/mail/dkim/dkim-milter-2.8.3/obj.Linux.2.6.18-164.11.1.el5PAE.i686/libdkim/libdkim.a /etc/mail/dkim/dkim-milter-2.8.3/obj.Linux.2.6.18-164.11.1.el5PAE.i686/libsm/libsm.a -ldb -lresolv -lcrypt -lnsl -ldl -lssl -lcrypto
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lmilter
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

I installed and configured sendmail and libmilter was installed. I guess it cannot find it? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
