Get your Slicehost email delivered using Ubuntu/Sendmail

Filed under: Uncategorized — Tags: , , , — askmatt @ 1:30 am

In the ‘SliceManager’ click the DNS tab and set the reverse DNS to mydomain.com


echo mydomain.com > /etc/hostname

/bin/hostname -F /etc/hostname

/etc/init.d/sendmail restart

Then go to www.spamhaus.org to remove any mail blocks. You can not use a free email address to remove the block, but the email you use DOES NOT have to be from the domain/IP address that you are attempting to remove.

Check /var/log/mail.info you may have the error, ‘sm-msp-queue[7701]: dangerous permissions=42777 on queue directory /var/spool/mqueue-client/’, which can be fixed by entering:

chmod 0770 /var/spool/mqueue-client
