If I want to have, say, a PHP application update one of my config files in /etc, is there a generally agreed-upon best way to do that? What I specifically want to do is to have Drupal update /etc/postfix/virtual. My app has a certain list of users and I want each one of those users to be under an alias because I want [email protected]...
Is there a programmatic way to test the existence of an email alias when logged in as an IMAP client from a remote host rather than sending an email or having to parse the aliases file on the mail server? It is a Postfix mail server. Edit: I found an example of email validation over SMTP and this looks like what I need. However on my...

Hello everyone! After hours and hours of research on this (it does appear to be quite an issue)... it still won't work. I already tried with changes to main.cf, master.cf, php.ini, org.postfix.master... For main.cf it was suggested to set "myhostname = host.domain.tld" to something one has control over, which I don't. Everything I tri...

Research has led me to believe I need to use the following: -- cron job -- python mail parser -- cURL or libcurl -- something that updates my database ...
I've been trying to get setup my Mac OS X (10.5.8) to send emails from localhost so that I can test my scripts. I normally get success messages, saying emails have been sent but they never reach their destination. They appear to just get stuck in the Postfix mailq: bash-3.2# mailq -Queue ID- --Size-- ----Arrival Time---- -Sender/Recip...
Since my ISP blocks port 25 I'd like to be able to configure postfix to send smtp email over port 587. Every time I try to send an email I see this in the mail.log Oct 17 10:37:49 new-host-2 postfix/smtp[1552]: connect to aspmx.l.google.com[74.125.113.27]:25: Operation timed out I'm assuming this is due to the fact that this doesn't w...
We have our e-mail accounts set up with a mail hosting provider. However, we send e-mails from our web application via postfix on our own server. Bounceback e-mails seem to go back to our postfix installation. We'd like these messages to forward to one of our accounts hosted on our mail hosting provider. Is this possible? If so, how? ...
