Email server

[rod]

Hello... Does anyone have implemented email capabilities on the router. So far I tryed xmail with no sucess. Also tried exim, xmail inside chrooted debian, and wasn't able to make it work. I get owncloud to use the phpmail and it says the email is sent, but it remains trapped in exims quewe. And for the receive part, is worst.... if I send emails to the asuscomm.com domain... they start to bounce after 2 days...and for 3 days.

I just need a working config file(s) for entware xmail or for exim/postfix inside chrooten debian 6.

Thanks in advance.

PS: I will use this to create a valid certificate from cacert.. the verify your server sending emails to the webmaster or root in the domain.

xmail works very well as a private E-mail server under Asuswrt-Merlin. I don't use it as an SMTP gateway to the outside world, though, just as a private E-mail server. Configuring it is easy, if you read the documentation.

The xmail configuration files get installed here: /opt/var/MailRoot.

Full documentation is at http://www.xmailserver.org/Readme.html. Read the CONFIGURATION section.

If you have issues with xmail not automatically starting/stopping along with the other Optware services on your router, here are my tweaks from years ago:

Integrating xmail with Optware

1. Add the service start/stop entries:
ln -s /opt/var/MailRoot/xmail /opt/etc/init.d/K27xmail
ln -s /opt/var/MailRoot/xmail /opt/etc/init.d/S43xmail

2. Replace the xmail script with my tweaked one, here:
/opt/var/MailRoot/xmail

#!/bin/sh
#
# skeleton	example file to build /etc/init.d/ scripts.
#		This file should be used to construct scripts for /etc/init.d.

3. Enable the xmail service under Asuswrt-Merlin, as follows:
app_set_enabled.sh xmail yes

HI All,
Any suggestions how to configure DefaultSMTPGateways to deliver all external email to a mail server on port 465 with SSL?
My provider blocking port 25 and have no option using provider's server on port 25.
Thanks.

What is your link worth for @Yah?
Possibly related to the wrong post?

He never sayed anything about TM-router conversion ...?!?

I cant help him too, but with your last posting he probably will never get a solution as all others will ignore it, thats why I am answering here.

He cleverly changed his signature in the meantime, but he's running Asuswrt-Merlin on an R7000...

As many others who found all information to do here in this forum in the past and never realized the forum changed its mind last year.

Maybe he changed his router since his last posting 1 1/2 years ago and updated his signature now as it is not valid anymore?

I had about 10 routers in the last 5 years too, sell them if I get a good price and take another one cheaper.
But ok, I dont like but respect your comment.

@Yah: Sorry for beeing OT!

My signature was setup long time ago.....
Anyway, my issue is resolved by means of personal digging.
Thanks to M@rco - no solution provided here.
Thanks
