Setup a mail server that enables smtp auth function

Mail Server IP address: 192.168.1.254
OS: OpenSUSE 10

Setup procedure:

1. Setup Hostname (server1.example.com)

# vi /etc/HOSTNAME
server1.example.com
# vi /etc/hosts
192.168.1.254 server1.example.com server1

2. Setup DNS Server:

# vi /etc/named.conf

Configure:

options { # The directory statement defines the name server's working directory directory "/var/lib/named"; # Write dump and statistics file to the log subdirectory. The # pathenames are relative to the chroot jail. dump-file "/var/log/named_dump.db"; statistics-file "/var/log/named.stats"; # The forwarders record contains a list of servers to which queries # should be forwarded. Enable this line and modify the IP address to # your provider's name server. Up to three servers may be listed. #forwarders { 192.0.2.1; 192.0.2.2; }; # Enable the next entry to prefer usage of the name server declared in # the forwarders section. #forward first; # The listen-on record contains a list of local network interfaces to # listen on. Optionally the port can be specified. Default is to # listen on all interfaces found on your system. The default port is # 53. #listen-on port 53 { 127.0.0.1; }; # The listen-on-v6 record enables or disables listening on IPv6 # interfaces. Allowed values are 'any' and 'none' or a list of # addresses. listen-on-v6 { any; }; # The next three statements may be needed if a firewall stands between # the local server and the internet. #query-source address * port 53; #transfer-source * port 53; #notify-source * port 53; # The allow-query record contains a list of networks or IP addresses # to accept and deny queries from. The default is to allow queries # from all hosts. #allow-query { 127.0.0.1; }; # If notify is set to yes (default), notify messages are sent to other # name servers when the the zone data is changed. Instead of setting # a global 'notify' statement in the 'options' section, a separate # 'notify' can be added to each zone definition. notify no; }; zone "." in { type hint; file "root.hint"; }; zone "localhost" in { type master; file "localhost.zone"; }; zone "0.0.127.in-addr.arpa" in { type master; file "127.0.0.zone"; }; zone "example.com" { type master; file "master/example.com.zone"; };

# cd /var/lib/named/master
# vi example.com.zone

Configure:

$TTL 1W @ IN SOA server1.example.com. root.server1.example.com. ( 42 ; serial (d. adams) 2D ; refresh 4H ; retry 6W ; expiry 1W ) ; minimum IN NS server1 server1 IN A 192.168.1.254

# chown root.named example.com.zone
# rcnamed start
# chkconfig named on
# vi /etc/resolv.conf

Configure:

nameserver 192.168.1.254

3. Setup Postfix mail server and enables smtp auth function:

# vi /etc/postfix/main.cf

Configure:

queue_directory = /var/spool/postfix command_directory = /usr/sbin daemon_directory = /usr/lib/postfix mail_owner = postfix unknown_local_recipient_reject_code = 550 mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8 debug_peer_level = 2 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 = maildrop html_directory = /usr/share/doc/packages/postfix/html manpage_directory = /usr/share/man sample_directory = /usr/share/doc/packages/postfix/samples readme_directory = /usr/share/doc/packages/postfix/README_FILES inet_protocols = all biff = no mail_spool_directory = /var/mail canonical_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/canonical virtual_alias_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/virtual virtual_alias_domains = hash:/etc/postfix/virtual relocated_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/relocated transport_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/transport sender_canonical_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/sender_canonical masquerade_exceptions = root masquerade_classes = envelope_sender, header_sender, header_recipient myhostname = server1.example.com program_directory = /usr/lib/postfix inet_interfaces = all masquerade_domains = mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain defer_transports = disable_dns_lookups = no relayhost = mailbox_command = mailbox_transport = strict_8bitmime = no disable_mime_output_conversion = no smtpd_sender_restrictions = hash:/etc/postfix/access smtpd_client_restrictions = smtpd_helo_required = no smtpd_helo_restrictions = strict_rfc821_envelopes = no smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_mynetworks,reject_unauth_destination smtp_sasl_auth_enable = no smtpd_sasl_auth_enable = no smtpd_use_tls = no smtp_use_tls = no alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases mailbox_size_limit = 0 message_size_limit = 10240000 smtpd_sasl_auth_enable = yes smtpd_sasl_security_options = noanonymous broken_sasl_auth_clients = yes smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_sasl_authenticated,permit_mynetworks,reject_unauth_destination

# rcsaslauthd start
# chkconfig saslauthd on
# rcpostfix start
# chkconfig postfix on

4. Enable pop3 server:

# chkconfig qpopper on
# rcxinetd restart

5. Add user account:

# useradd -m lawrence
# passwd lawrence
