[Virtual user mail system] guide doesn't work.

I'm new to setting up a mail server so I consulted with this article [https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Vi … ail_system]. However this guide doesn't work. I cannot either send or receive mail. I looked into logs and apparently the contents of virtual_alias_maps.cf / virtual_mailbox_domains.cf / virtual_mailbox_maps.cf are not correct. The database postfixadmin created doesn't even have those tables or columns. And I kept getting "Access Denied: postfix_user@localhost (Password:Yes)" something like that. And I'm sure I entered the correct username/password combination. A long time ago I used to follow [https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php?ti … tfix_Admin] guide for setting up mail server however its content is outdated now. Is there any reliable newbie-friendly mail server guide for archlinux, or any recommendation on how to fix the problem in aboved article? Thanks.

Don't limit yourself to the Arch wiki - it's useful, but it's not the only resource available to you, and as you have discovered, it is not always current and/or correct.
All the components you are working with come with their own documentation, that should be your first reference point. Beyond that, look for Postfix tutorials in general i.e. not just for Arch, again bearing in mind that they also may not be current/correct.
When you have found what you need and completed your setup, you then have the option of Doing The Right Thing by updating/correcting the relevant wiki pages, followed very shortly after by the warm glow known only to those who contribute.

  • After downloading Firefox, my e-mail spell check doesn't work

    for years I had used IE. I recently installed Firefox and now my e-mail spell check doesn't work. The dictionary is loaded but cannot figure out how to resolve this. It still works when using IE, so am assuming it's a Firefox glitch.

    Do you have a dictionary installed and selected?
    * You can see which dictionary is selected if you right-click in a text area and open the Languages submenu.
    * Open the "Add Dictionaries" link to install a dictionary if you do not have one.
    * Make sure that [X] "Check Spelling" in the right-click context menu is check-marked.
    You can enable or disable spell checking globally:
    * Tools > Options > Advanced : General: Browsing: "Check my spelling as I type"
    You can look here for dictionaries:

  • HT204088 This guide doesn't work in the new PC itunes!

    This guide doesn't work in the new PC itunes! I called apple support for 25mins and they just emailed me this link again! I need to see my in-app purchase transaction/order numbers ASAP.

    Which part isn't working ? If you have the current version of iTunes (iTunes 12) on your PC then the steps for logging into your account should work.
    Or, and if you have an older version of iTunes, you can log into your account via the Store > View Account menu option :
    On your account's screen there should be a Purchase History section with a 'See All' link to its right

  • Impdp work with system but doesn't work with another user

    Hi,
    We have troubles with import of transportable tablespace, when i try to import it with system the import is done currectly, when i try to use another user we receive this message :
    impdp bmcese/***** directory=TTS_DIR dumpfile=RMCCO_RMC_ANA_STS_ABB_CO121001.dmp TRANSPORT_DATAFILES=/data/TTS/RMCCO_RMC_ANA_STS_ABB_CO121001.dbf logfile=tts_imp_proc.log
    ORA-31626: il job non esiste

    ORA-06512: a "SYS.KUPV$FT", line 1020
    ORA-00959: tablespace 'RMCCO_RMC_UTZ_PP080531' inesistente
    this happens only on development server and it work into test server, so i don't think that the problem is in grants(i controlled that are the same and i have tried with DBA grant too and we received the error).
    Another strange thing is that tablespace 'RMCCO_RMC_UTZ_PP080531' is not included into the dump that i try to import and it doesn't exist in the database.
    Thx

    I've extraced the role/privs granted to BMCESE using this query
    select granted_role from DBA_ROLE_PRIVS where grantee='BMCESE'
    union
    select privilege from DBA_SYS_PRIVS where grantee='BMCESE';
    Result on Server where the impdp doesn't work:

    EXECUTE_CATALOG_ROLE
    EXPORT FULL DATABASE
    IMPORT FULL DATABASE

    GRANTED_ROLE
    CONNECT
    CREATE PROCEDURE
    EXECUTE_CATALOG_ROLE

    UNLIMITED TABLESPACE
    BMCESE has more grant and privs on the server where the impdp doesn't work.
    I've controlled the grant of read, write on the directory.
    I've tried to give DBA priv too to the user.
    So i don't think in a priv problem, i think that the problem is in the unexistent tablespace reported in the error.
    Someone has another suggest to give.
    Thx

  • Mail Inbox only doesn't work.  Any ideas?  And Newstand app remains incomplete with blue bar on the bottom.  Any ideas?

    Only my Mail Inbox doesn't work with iOS5.  Sent, Bulk, Trash, and Draft works fine.  I don't receive new emails, yet if I go to see my mail via Safari/Yahoo/Mail all the new emails are there.  So it is clearly an iOS5 issue.  I did a hard restart holding the On/Off and Home key, I delete the account and reinstalled, i disenabled iCloud and nothing seems to work.  Any other ideas or do I wait for Apple to release 5.01 to fix all the mess they made.

    All seems okay with host, user name and password.  Server port is fine, though my 3G model has has multiple servers and the Wi-Fi version only has one.  I even brought it to an Apple store while traveling in The Netherlands.  They had no other suggestions.

    You need to post more information when you have a question: 'it doesn't work' doesn't really give anyone enough to go on.
    What operating system are you running on your Mac? Is the email visible at http://icloud.com? Did you start a fresh iCloud account or did you migrate a MobileMe one?

  • Option System recovery doesn't work

    Notebook Lenovo G50-30 (80G0) - bought a month ago. (Windows 8.1)
    Few days ago sound stopped work suddenly. I suspect that this is associated with MS Updates, which was set as automatic. I suspect because this notebook is not my. But now I have it for repair. I noticed that system work abnormally, when I try to use some function from control panel it doesn't work and control panel stop responding. For example update settings. 
    I decided restore system to factory setting, using NOVO key and option System Recovery. Unfortunately when I choose this option nothing happens and computer loading operating system as usually. I try use software OneKeyRecovery and after it sytuation is the same. 
    Important information is that system partition C was divided into two parts/partitions. And it was my first clue that something is wrong with ID partitions, but maybe i'm wrong. I change it and set one C volume.
    Diskpart shows 5 volumes (0-4), the last one is the recovery partition like below:
    On computer: LENOVO-G50
    Volume ### Ltr Label Fs Type Size Status Info
    Volume 0 E DVD-ROM 0 B No Media

    * Volume 4 PBR_DRV NTFS Partition 13 GB Healthy Hidden
    Can someone help me? How can I restore factory settings?

    hi mehowg,
    Can you try to create a recovery drive and use it to Refresh or Reset Windows 8/8.1.
    If that doesn't work, you can try the folliwing to reinstall the OS:
    1. Check this guide on how to obtain a Windows 8.1 ISO (see Option One)
    2. After you set Boot Mode to UEFI in the BIOS, follow this guide to make a bootable UEFI Win8.1 installer via DVD/USB flashdrive and use it to install Windows 8.1 on the G50-30 (the installation should be able to detect the Windows 8.1 product key in the UEFI firmware that will let you activate Windows).
    Note:
    The above method (Steps 1-2) will only re-install Windows (you will need to reinstal the drivers manually from the G50-30 drivers page)
    Let me know how it goes.

  • Mail.app DisableInlineAttachmentViewing doesn't work

    Hi Community,
    in Mavericks 10.9.2 with Mail.app 7.2 the defaults write command to enable the setting DisableInlineAttachmentViewing doesn't work for received emails. In sent emails this command works as expected. Is there another possibility to disable inline attachment viewing for received emails?
    Thx & Bye Tom

    Well, that info seems to be stored in the main mail.plist, I suspect it's corrupted.

  • Ipod displaying sad icon (tried the Guide, doesn't work)

    Can someone help me?
    I was using my Ipod Video 30gb and it froze, so I reset it and it showed a sad Ipod icon with a "!" beside it.
    After I went to the guide and tried to restore it but when I plug it in (to my windows XP laptop) it is not shown in itunes, my computer, Ipod updater or anything:(
    I've tried to put it into disk mode, but that doesn't work either! I think I need to restore it but it won't show up.
    Laptop   Windows XP  

    i'm having the same problem. there are a couple other things u can try, which didn't work for me but worked for other people, maybe you too. one thing that seems to work A LOT is to drop it flat onto a hard surface, say onto the desk from 6 inches -- or to give it a smack on the side, not TOO hard but enough to let it know you mean business. It often just starts right up. If that doesn't work you can open it up and disconnect the hard drive for 5-10 minutes -- there is also a manual reset button on the hard drive on some models (not mine, maybe yours). The best posting I've seen on how to do all this is here:

  • When Searching for attachments to mail, preview mode doesn't work

    When I am in mail and am composing a new email and I click "Attach" to attach a file, the current folder comes up and shows the preview mode of every file type (i.e. pictures and pdf previews). No problems. However, if I then do a search for something (my name for example) to narrow down my choices of files or images to select, the next search level does not show a preview of the files or images, just a .pdf icon or the .jpeg icon - NO PREVIEW. This is extremely frustrating! I tried on different folders and the same results occurred. Any ideas or is this a bug?

    Hi Pranava,
    I couldn't reproduce this issue, when I create root folder FS0 in "Shared Documents" and start a full crawl, I click the FS0 link from search results page, it will open the FS0 folder as well as folder under FS0.
    Please right-click the FS0 name hyperlink (e.g. mine is http://sp/Shared%20Documents/FS0) and paste in IE browser see if it could be accessed successfully.
    Also test if other Shared Documents have this issue in other site collection or web applications, if not, run a full crawl may do a trick (please reset search index if only full crawl still doesn't work).
    Thanks

  • I don't like Firefox 7, how do I revert to the previous version? System restore doesn't work.

    With Firefox 7 my computer is slower to boot up and shut down. When typing the website I want in the address bar the old firefox took me straight to the site now it takes me to Google. I'd like to revert to the previous version of Firefox. I have tried using system restore but it doesn't work. I'm using windows XP. Can anyone help?

    Starting with the release of Firefox 7, the previous versions of Firefox (4.0.x, 5.0.x and 6.0.x) are no longer maintained with Security and Stability updates. Firefox 3.6 is the last previous Firefox version that is still being maintained.

  • My Norton Internet Security, Passwrd and user name auto complete doesn't work in Firefox 4

    Since updating to Firefox 4 my user name and password auto complete form Norton Internet security doesn't work.

    Symantec need to update their Firefox add-ons so that they are compatible with Firefox 4. They have indicated that for Norton 360 they plan to release an update to Norton 360 to support Firefox 4 in early May - http://us.norton.com/support/kb/web_view.jsp?wv_type=public_web&docurl=20100720113635EN&ln=en_US
    I do not know about the time scale for updates for other Norton products. Pending the update by Symantec, if you want to use the Norton add-ons you will need to downgrade to Firefox 3.6.
    To downgrade to Firefox 3.6 first uninstall Firefox 4, but do not select the option to "Remove my Firefox personal data". If you select that option it will delete your bookmarks, passwords and other user data.
    You can then install the latest version of Firefox 3.6 available from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html - it will automatically use your current bookmarks, passwords etc.
    To avoid possible problems with downgrading, I recommend going to your profile folder and deleting the following files if they exist - extensions.cache, extensions.rdf, extensions.ini, extensions.sqlite and localstore.rdf. Deleting these files will force Firefox to rebuild the list of installed extensions, checking their compatibility, and reset toolbar customizations.
    For details of how to find your profile folder see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Profiles

  • MAIL 3.5 doesn't work

    I have OSX 10.5.6 and MAIL .5 installed. I have used Mail with the same comcast accounts for years. Suddenly Mail will not receive email and does not give any messages.
    I have had to switch to WINDOWS ENTOURAGE on the same Apple computer, which works flawlessly with the same comcast POP mail accounts and settings.
    I have tried changing settings over and over with no change to the mute software.
    Anyone have the solution?

    1. Locate the Mac OS X Install DVD that came with your computer.
    2. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc into the optical drive.
    3. A Mac OS X Install Disk window appears. Double-click the Optional installs folder.
    4. Double-click on the Optional Installs installer.
