Needed Sendmail Version

[rfarnung]

Hi all,

as many before me i'm new in linux and also in scalix. I've managed to get scalix installed
and ready to receive email from a pop3 external server via the fetchmail config.

But i can't send emails and i'm not sure if the installed sendmail version is the correct one.
The included version on Suse 10.0 OSS is 8.13.xx.

Which one do in need to install, so that scalix functions correctly.

Many thanks and please no copy and paste script blocks, cause i'm a real newbie in that.

Cheers, Richard.

Hi Richard,

my test-server on SuSE has got 8.13.6 and it works fine. I doubt that's your trouble anyway.

What kind of setup are you using? Are you going to be sending email directly to the internet, or are you using some kind of relay server, for example from your provider?

Try sending yourself a mail, then use the programs less and grep (use man less and man grep to find out how they work) to find the email address you were trying to send to in /var/log/mail - there should be an error there that should tell you more.

If you're not sure what the error means, feel free to post it and ask.

HTH,

Chris

Hi,

my desired setup would be, Scalix as internal mail/groupware server with
receiving and sending email over post.strato.de .

The "normal" way to setup a mail server is as i understood right:
Insert a MX record in the DNS which points to the linux/scalix server?
And Scalix/Sendmail is doing the "rest"?

Cheers, Richard.
