Redirect local root mail to an external email address on HPSS servers
1. Check if "postfix" bzw. sendmail mail server is already installed.
Notice: on RHEL Hosts postfix is already installed but on SL hosts its sendmail.
# service postfix status # yum install postfix (On HPSS Server it was already installed and running)
2. Edit /etc/aliases
root: hpss-admin@lists.kit.edu
4. Run command on shell:
# newaliases
5. Restart mail server
# service postfix restart
6. Test
#echo "Hello from hpsscr01." | mail -s "hpsscr01 email-test-message" root
Relaying emails through another Server in postfix
As hpssmvr04 does not have a 141.* but an external Gridka IP 192.108.47.248 it can not send out emails via postfix to KIT mailserver. Therefore we have to use one of the other hpss movers acting as a relayhost for hpssmvr04.
NOTICE: these are extra steps to the configuration above "Redirect local root mail to an external email address on HPSS servers"
hpssmvr04 configuration
1. set relayhost hpssmvr03
# vi /etc/postfix/main.cf relayhost = 192.168.0.13
we use the internal 192.168.0.* IPs.
2. Restart postfix
# service postfix restart
hpssmvr03 configuration
1. use the KIT mailserver scc-mailin-cn-01.scc.kit.edu as the remote mailserver on which you have a valid email account with the username and password.
2. perform the following commands
# postconf -e 'relayhost = scc-mailin-cn-01.scc.kit.edu' # postconf -e 'smtp_sasl_auth_enable = yes' # postconf -e 'smtp_sasl_password_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/sasl_passwd' # postconf -e 'smtp_sasl_security_options ='
3. Create a sasl_passwd file with a valid email account
# echo "<KIT remote mailserver> <valid-email-account>:<password>" > /etc/postfix/sasl_passwd
e.g:
# echo "scc-mailin-cn-01.scc.kit.edu ahmad.hammad@kit.edu:<password>" > /etc/postfix/sasl_passwd
4. Set file permissions
# Chown root:root /etc/postfix/sasl_passwd # chmod 600 /etc/postfix/sasl_passwd
5. Create sasl_passwd.db file that postfix can read
# postmap /etc/postfix/sasl_passwd
6. Let also 192.168.0.13 listen on Port 25 (smpt)
# vi /etc/postfix/main.cf inet_interfaces = 192.168.0.13,localhost
7. Restart postfix
# service postfix restart
Test from hpssmv04
# echo "mailtest from hpssmvr04" | mail -s "mailtest from hpssmvr04" root
