* Email overview

[http://wiki.littlesvr.ca/wiki/OPS345_Lab_6 This page has moved.]
* Create a new VM named 'email' in vpc-ops345, 10.3.45.12, with an extra 4GB EBS volume, ops345sgemail, email.asmith15.ops345.ca
 
* ssh only from ops345sgprivate
 
* add an iptables rule on router to forward port 2212 to email:22, don't forget to edit ops345sg
 
* email_public_ip
 
* add A record for email now since it will take some time to propagate
 
* add MX email.asmith15.ops345.ca.[1]
 
* test on router first, records are cached for 60 minutes. test on www second, email third, finally make sure it works on the workstation
 
* same instructions as for vg_www-lv_www but vg_email-lv_email, mounted on /home
 
* but also mount it on /tmp/home, and move everything from /home to /tmp/home before rebooting
 
** can lose access to ssh key if don't do it right - see what happens if mount on /home without
 
<source>[root@email ~]# vi /etc/fstab
 
[root@email ~]# mount /home/
 
[root@email ~]# ls /home/
 
lost+found
 
# try to ssh now, it won't work
 
[root@email ~]# umount /home/
 
[root@email ~]# mkdir /tmp/home
 
[root@email ~]# mount /dev/mapper/vg_email-lv_email /tmp/home/
 
[root@email ~]# cd /home/
 
[root@email home]# ls -a
 
.  ..  andrew
 
[root@email home]# mv andrew/ /tmp/home/
 
[root@email home]# cd /
 
[root@email /]# ls /home/
 
[root@email /]# ls /tmp/home/
 
andrew  lost+found
 
[root@email /]# umount /tmp/home/
 
[root@email /]# ls /tmp/home/
 
[root@email /]# ls /home/
 
[root@email /]# mount /home/
 
[root@email /]# ls -a /home/andrew/
 
.  ..  .bash_history  .bash_logout  .bash_profile  .bashrc  .ssh
 
[root@email /]# reboot
 
</source>
 
* Confirm confirm can still log in. if not: have to rebuild email vm
 
* The LV on a separate storage device is as valuable as the www LV. If the Vm is lost or damaged: EBS device is still there, and it's also easier to back up.
 
* connect to myseneca email using thunderbird on linux mint
 
* postfix is installed by default, but only used for localhost
 
* instal dovecot to get dovecot-lda
 
* /etc/postfix/main.cf:
 
** mydomain = asmith15.ops345.ca
 
** myorigin = $mydomain
 
** inet_interfaces = all
 
** mydestination include mydomain
 
* restart postfix
 
* ss -atnp
 
* add access to port 25 from anywhere in ops345sgemail
 
* test using telnet from workstation
 
* send email from myseneca to asmith15@asmith15.ops345.ca
 
* check /var/log/maillog
 
* check ~/
 
* check /var/mail
 
* /etc/postfix/main.cf: mailbox_command = /usr/libexec/dovecot/dovecot-lda -f "$SENDER" -a "$RECIPIENT"
 
* /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-mail.conf: mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir
 
* check /var/mail
 
* check ~/
 
* server can now receive email. cannot send reliably yet, and need to set up dovecot for imap (next lab)
 
* create an alias for root: andrew, run newaliases
