@jaredbusch said in Does Office 365 Support Plus Notation in Email (+): @scottalanmiller said in Does Office 365 Support Plus Notation in Email (+): @kelly said in Does Office 365 Support Plus Notation in Email (+): The period notation is really annoying for me. I signed up [email protected] when it was in beta and this "feature" wasn't publicized. Years later someone else was able to register [email protected] and now I get DoTerra order details and the like. I have no idea what I don't get at this point. Don't know about a period notation feature. What does that do? And how do that not break email globally? The same way that + doesn't break it. It is outside of the RFC altogether. So as long as wtf ever service you sign up for lets you type it, then you can do it. As for what it does. Well [email protected] is a common thing. But someone that signs up to gmail with [email protected] can also receive email from email sent to [email protected] or even [email protected] Google simply ignore all periods on the left of the @ for gmail based email addresses. Gmail only, not GSuite. Wow, that's.... weird. I guess it works until they do something like the story above and screw it up.

@scottalanmiller said in Zimbra SMTP Relay through MailGun by Rackspace: This is because you need to be using Zimbra's own version of the tools, not the OS ones.

Yup, basically just automating Postfix configs.

The O365 account is used at multiple services (network monitoring, snipeit are some of them). I guess mailgun would be a good choice to avoid this altogether. The free version supports 10K mails

@zachary715 said in How to receive e-mail alerts from internal devices: Do you guys go beyond the SPF records and also implement DKIM or DMARC? I've looked into these briefly but not much. DKIM looks fairly straightforward with Office 365. I've checked them both. I will not implement DKIM anytime soon. It adds little on top of SPF. DMARC is a layer on top of SPF and/or DKIM you cannot use DMARC without one of the other in place. All DMARC does is tell the recipient system what to do with a message that fails the SPF/DKIM check. Instead of letting the recipient system decide what to do about it.

If you are used to dealing with commands like mail from the mailx package, you may be used to apps that require a local MTA in order to send emails. In the config files of dnf-automatic however, we can instantly see that there is configuration for entering a non-local server. This means that dnf-automatic is implementing the SMTP protocol (SMTP) itself and is not dropping files in a queue. [email] # The address to send email messages from. email_from = [email protected] # List of addresses to send messages to. email_to = root # Name of the host to connect to to send email messages. email_host = localhost Because of this, we know that dnf-automatic is acting as an SMTP server on its own and must be configured for how your network is going to handle email and is not just relying on the default configuration of the system MTA. No, this is jsut droping a mail to root. not email. Wouldn't be better to say it's an SMTP client? Akin to Thunderbird? But in this case it's not doing that, so would be confusing. Thunderbird is an SMTP client, but doesn't do the local drop piece. What's not doing what? dnf-automatic isn't doing a local drop piece either. It uses SMTP to drop to localhost, not whatever mailx is doing to function. So in that regard, it should be exactly like what Thunderbird is doing, no? I don't believe that that is true, but maybe it is. Well we know dnf-automatic will deliver to postfix on another host assuming that host is configured to allow relay from the dnf host. Am I missing something? Does dnf-automatic not do both, though? I don't know if dnf-automatic is doing the local drop piece like mailx does.

Are you getting paid by some strange company to use the word "corruption" this week? Calling it as it is. The world is a very corrupt place and most of it happens because society conditions us to feel like it is acceptable. And there it is ... AGAIN! Society hasn't changed, it's just how it is.

@hobbit666 said in MDaemon 17.0.1 Is Now Available: MDaemon was my first "real" email server really liked it. Good to see it's still going As I have mentioned before, we still use it here.

No it doesn't appear to support TLS. We're going ahead with a connector and be done with it.

@scottalanmiller said in FreePBX Send Mail Error on Vultr: @JaredBusch said in FreePBX send mail error: Did you request smtp be unblocked by vultr? It's blocked by default, so if you forget to request this on any server, outbound emails won't work. The block is account level. Not per server.

@nagendra Strange, let me check.

@nagendra said in Zimbra installation and configuration (internal use only): Need some more help i need to change the attachment size to 2 MB change the mailbox storage to new Drive can we allow particular user to send emails to outside network ?? like block for everyone and allow to a group of users This was already forked to a new thread.

@cronsloth Woot

@scottalanmiller said in What Happens to Email After You Hit Send: They mention the old HELO command, but EHLO is what is used in most systems today. They did mention EHLO, but only a time or two.

@black3dynamite said in Finding the Best Open Source Email Solutions: Comcast Webmail is also using Zimbra. Not the best endorsement.

@maalmeida said in I cannot get any invitation from Spiceworks: @Romo Exactamente. Con el dns no me dejaba entrar y ahora con la ip si pero me muestra eso Si te muestra eso por que la configuracion por default en servidores del explorer es muy restrictiva, lo cual es normal y recomendable puesto que realmente no se debe navegar desde los servidores. Lo importante es que con la ip si te intenta cargar el acceso a OWA, si trataras con el puro nombre del servidor tambien te deberia de mostrar lo mismo que con la ip.

@Mike-Davis said in Troubleshooting Postfix Authentication to Relay: @jt1001001 said in Troubleshooting Postfix Authentication to Relay: is there some sort of anti-spoofing settings with Intermedia? That's probably what is going on. I was working with their support last night and they said they couldn't transfer me to a level 2 tech because I wasn't listed on the account. This tech also told me that they allow anonymous emails on port 25, so I knew I was working with the wrong guy. Yes, bottom line here is that Intermedia is incompetent. Which has been a question for a long time - why would anyone use Intermedia when Office 365 does the same stuff for lower cost but has Microsoft themselves backing it?

@BRRABill said in How to Require TLS for Outbound SMTP Connections with MDaemon: I think what he meant was encrypted from the e-mail client (Outlook, Webmail) to the MD server. That's confusing because it isn't email at that point but is just an internal application API. If it is Outlook, for example, it talks directly with Exchange as a client manipulating stuff on Exchange. If it is OWA, it's Exchange that you are looking at directly (the "email" is still on Exchange.)

@scottalanmiller said in Cannot Send Emails Out on Vultr: @stacksofplates said in Cannot Send Emails Out on Vultr: Why not just change the SMTP port? You can't. SMTP uses port 25. Changing the outbound port only works if you control every posssible email destination. Ah duh. I was thinking you were just sending email to yourself for some reason. Never mind.

@scottalanmiller said in SMTP is Email so what is the mail you get from logging?: @DustinB3403 said in SMTP is Email so what is the mail you get from logging?: So the alerts are meant to be delievered via SMTP, therefore they are "email files" without the SMTP portion. Hence they are email. There is no such thing. You can't just call all text files "email". If you do, literally everything is email. So the term is now lost. Go pick up your email from the dry cleaners so you can be home in time to eat your email for dinner. hahahah I laughed way to hard when I read that on my phone!

@Ambarishrh said: For postfix to work for this i need to have the full SMTP+IMAP configured You are associating SMTP and IMAP. They are unrelated. Completely and totally unrelated. Postfix is SMTP, it has no association with IMAP handling. Just install Postfix and your sending is fixed. Just put in your IMAP details of your Gmail account and your IMAP is fixed because your application absolutely has a built in IMAP client, that's what those settings are for. Those settings cannot work unless it is a client.

Just a guess.. For 6.5 sudo yum --enablerepo=base --disablerepo=citrix install postfix http://xmodulo.com/how-to-install-additional-packages-in.html For 7 http://discussions.citrix.com/topic/378880-xenserver-70-repositories/ post #5

@DustinB3403 said: @JaredBusch said: @scottalanmiller said: Ah, the issue is that you want to use a relay. might want to try skipping the relay. Yes, using a relay is a much different thing than sending mail directly. @DustinB3403 You just worked around an issue without even know what your issue was. I know, I also figured out the Unicorn problem that North Korea has all by myself. YAY! So long as we're not going to candy mountain here....

@scottalanmiller said: Sharepoint is popular for that, too. Good call, I'll consider that next time

Can't you give Mandrill your DKIM private key? Of course that's probably not wise. In which case I'd setup a sister domainname for this purpose. DKIMs seem interesting. Though without Secure DNS I'm not sure what good it really does, the Public Key listed in non Secure DNS can be spoofed by a MITM attack - though I'm not sure how much of a real concern that is.

Glad that you got it working again.

You actually used a Commodore 64 as the server? Hard to imagine when that was possible.
