Xenial (16.04LTS) (mail): powerful, efficient, and scalable Mail Transport Agent (metapackage) universe 8.15.2-3: all. RPM resource sendmail-cf. This package includes the configuration files which you'd need to generate the sendmail.cf file distributed with the sendmail package. You'll need the sendmail-cf package if you ever need to reconfigure and rebuild your sendmail.cf file. For example, the default sendmail.cf file is not configured for UUCP.
.Edit the /etc/pki/dovecot/dovecot-openssl.cnf configuration file as you prefer. However, in a typical installation, this file does not require modification.Rename, move or delete the files /etc/pki/dovecot/certs/dovecot.pem and /etc/pki/dovecot/private/dovecot.pem.Execute the /usr/libexec/dovecot/mkcert.sh script which creates the dovecot self signed certificates.
These certificates are copied in the /etc/pki/dovecot/certs and /etc/pki/dovecot/private directories. To implement the changes, restart dovecot by issuing the following command as root. Many modern email client programs can act as an MTA when sending email.
However, this action should not be confused with the role of a true MTA. The sole reason email client programs are capable of sending email like an MTA is because the host running the application does not have its own MTA. This is particularly true for email client programs on non-UNIX-based operating systems. However, these client programs only send outbound messages to an MTA they are authorized to use and do not directly deliver the message to the intended recipient’s email server. It is important to be aware of what Sendmail is and what it can do, as opposed to what it is not. In these days of monolithic applications that fulfill multiple roles, Sendmail may seem like the only application needed to run an email server within an organization. Technically, this is true, as Sendmail can spool mail to each users' directory and deliver outbound mail for users.
However, most users actually require much more than simple email delivery. Users usually want to interact with their email using an MUA, that uses POP or IMAP, to download their messages to their local machine.
Or, they may prefer a Web interface to gain access to their mailbox. These other applications can work in conjunction with Sendmail, but they actually exist for different reasons and can operate separately from one another. The default sendmail.cf file does not allow Sendmail to accept network connections from any host other than the local computer.
To configure Sendmail as a server for other clients, edit the /etc/mail/sendmail.mc file, and either change the address specified in the Addr= option of the DAEMONOPTIONS directive from 127.0.0.1 to the IP address of an active network device or comment out the DAEMONOPTIONS directive all together by placing dnl at the beginning of the line. When finished, regenerate /etc/mail/sendmail.cf by restarting the service. Fetchmail is an MTA which retrieves email from remote servers and delivers it to the local MTA.
Many users appreciate the ability to separate the process of downloading their messages located on a remote server from the process of reading and organizing their email in an MUA. Designed with the needs of dial-up users in mind, Fetchmail connects and quickly downloads all of the email messages to the mail spool file using any number of protocols, including POP3 and IMAP. It can even forward email messages to an SMTP server, if necessary.global options — Gives Fetchmail instructions that control the operation of the program or provide settings for every connection that checks for email.server options — Specifies necessary information about the server being polled, such as the host name, as well as preferences for specific email servers, such as the port to check or number of seconds to wait before timing out. These options affect every user using that server.user options — Contains information, such as user name and password, necessary to authenticate and check for email using a specified email server. Server options are called into service in the.fetchmailrc file by the use of a special option verb, poll or skip, that precedes any of the server information. The poll action tells Fetchmail to use this server option when it is run, which checks for email using the specified user options. Any server options after a skip action, however, are not checked unless this server’s host name is specified when Fetchmail is invoked.
The skip option is useful when testing configurations in the.fetchmailrc file because it only checks skipped servers when specifically invoked, and does not affect any currently working configurations. In this example, the global options specify that the user is sent email as a last resort ( postmaster option) and all email errors are sent to the postmaster instead of the sender ( bouncemail option). The set action tells Fetchmail that this line contains a global option. Then, two email servers are specified, one set to check using POP3, the other for trying various protocols to find one that works. Two users are checked using the second server option, but all email found for any user is sent to user1's mail spool. This allows multiple mailboxes to be checked on multiple servers, while appearing in a single MUA inbox. Each user’s specific information begins with the user action.auth auth-type — Replace auth-type with the type of authentication to be used.
By default, password authentication is used, but some protocols support other types of authentication, including kerberosv5, kerberosv4, and ssh. If the any authentication type is used, Fetchmail first tries methods that do not require a password, then methods that mask the password, and finally attempts to send the password unencrypted to authenticate to the server.interval number — Polls the specified server every number of times that it checks for email on all configured servers.
This option is generally used for email servers where the user rarely receives messages.port port-number — Replace port-number with the port number. This value overrides the default port number for the specified protocol.proto protocol — Replace protocol with the protocol, such as pop3 or imap, to use when checking for messages on the server.timeout seconds — Replace seconds with the number of seconds of server inactivity after which Fetchmail gives up on a connection attempt. If this value is not set, a default of 300 seconds is used.fetchall — Orders Fetchmail to download all messages in the queue, including messages that have already been viewed. By default, Fetchmail only pulls down new messages.fetchlimit number — Replace number with the number of messages to be retrieved before stopping.flush — Deletes all previously viewed messages in the queue before retrieving new messages.limit max-number-bytes — Replace max-number-bytes with the maximum size in bytes that messages are allowed to be when retrieved by Fetchmail. This option is useful with slow network links, when a large message takes too long to download.password ' password' — Replace password with the user’s password.preconnect ' command' — Replace command with a command to be executed before retrieving messages for the user.postconnect ' command' — Replace command with a command to be executed after retrieving messages for the user.ssl — Activates SSL encryption.user ' username' — Replace username with the username used by Fetchmail to retrieve messages.
This option must precede all other user options.-configdump — Displays every possible option based on information from.fetchmailrc and Fetchmail defaults. No email is retrieved for any users when using this option.-s — Executes Fetchmail in silent mode, preventing any messages, other than errors, from appearing after the fetchmail command.-v — Executes Fetchmail in verbose mode, displaying every communication between Fetchmail and remote email servers.-V — Displays detailed version information, lists its global options, and shows settings to be used with each user, including the email protocol and authentication method. No email is retrieved for any users when using this option.-a — Fetchmail downloads all messages from the remote email server, whether new or previously viewed. By default, Fetchmail only downloads new messages.-k — Fetchmail leaves the messages on the remote email server after downloading them. This option overrides the default behavior of deleting messages after downloading them.-l max-number-bytes — Fetchmail does not download any messages over a particular size and leaves them on the remote email server.-quit — Quits the Fetchmail daemon process. Procmail can be invoked in several different ways. Whenever an MTA places an email into the mail spool file, Procmail is launched.
Procmail then filters and files the email for the MUA and quits. Alternatively, the MUA can be configured to execute Procmail any time a message is received so that messages are moved into their correct mailboxes. By default, the presence of /etc/procmailrc or of a /.procmailrc file (also called an rc file) in the user’s home directory invokes Procmail whenever an MTA receives a new message.
To turn off Procmail filtering of email lists but leaving spam control in place, comment out the first INCLUDERC line with a hash sign ( #). Note that it uses paths relative to the current directory.LOCKSLEEP — Sets the amount of time, in seconds, between attempts by Procmail to use a particular lockfile. The default is 8 seconds.LOCKTIMEOUT — Sets the amount of time, in seconds, that must pass after a lockfile was last modified before Procmail assumes that the lockfile is old and can be deleted. The default is 1024 seconds.LOGFILE — The file to which any Procmail information or error messages are written.MAILDIR — Sets the current working directory for Procmail. If set, all other Procmail paths are relative to this directory.ORGMAIL — Specifies the original mailbox, or another place to put the messages if they cannot be placed in the default or recipe-required location. By default, a value of /var/spool/mail/$LOGNAME is used.SUSPEND — Sets the amount of time, in seconds, that Procmail pauses if a necessary resource, such as swap space, is not available.SWITCHRC — Allows a user to specify an external file containing additional Procmail recipes, much like the INCLUDERC option, except that recipe checking is actually stopped on the referring configuration file and only the recipes on the SWITCHRC-specified file are used.VERBOSE — Causes Procmail to log more information.
This option is useful for debugging. New users often find the construction of recipes the most difficult part of learning to use Procmail. This difficulty is often attributed to recipes matching messages by using regular expressions which are used to specify qualifications for string matching. However, regular expressions are not very difficult to construct and even less difficult to understand when read. Additionally, the consistency of the way Procmail recipes are written, regardless of regular expressions, makes it easy to learn by example.
To see example Procmail recipes, see.A — Specifies that this recipe is only used if the previous recipe without an A or a flag also matched this message.a — Specifies that this recipe is only used if the previous recipe with an A or a flag also matched this message and was successfully completed.B — Parses the body of the message and looks for matching conditions.b — Uses the body in any resulting action, such as writing the message to a file or forwarding it. This is the default behavior.c — Generates a carbon copy of the email. This is useful with delivering recipes, since the required action can be performed on the message and a copy of the message can continue being processed in the rc files.D — Makes the egrep comparison case-sensitive. By default, the comparison process is not case-sensitive.E — While similar to the A flag, the conditions in the recipe are only compared to the message if the immediately preceding recipe without an E flag did not match. This is comparable to an else action.e — The recipe is compared to the message only if the action specified in the immediately preceding recipe fails.f — Uses the pipe as a filter.H — Parses the header of the message and looks for matching conditions.
How To Configure Sendmail
This is the default behavior.h — Uses the header in a resulting action. This is the default behavior.w — Tells Procmail to wait for the specified filter or program to finish, and reports whether or not it was successful before considering the message filtered.W — Is identical to w except that 'Program failure' messages are suppressed.
The best way to develop the skills to build Procmail recipe conditions stems from a strong understanding of regular expressions combined with looking at many examples built by others. A thorough explanation of regular expressions is beyond the scope of this section. The structure of Procmail recipes and useful sample Procmail recipes can be found at various places on the Internet.
The proper use and adaptation of regular expressions can be derived by viewing these recipe examples. In addition, introductory information about basic regular expression rules can be found in the grep(1) man page. Popular MUAs included with Fedora, such as Evolution and Mutt offer SSL-encrypted email sessions.Like any other service that flows over a network unencrypted, important email information, such as user names, passwords, and entire messages, may be intercepted and viewed by users on the network.

Additionally, since the standard POP and IMAP protocols pass authentication information unencrypted, it is possible for an attacker to gain access to user accounts by collecting user names and passwords as they are passed over the network.
