@Madchatthew Impressive stuff. Postfix can be quite the beast to tame, but it sounds like you’ve managed really well here.

Arch Server Progressabout an hour agoSo I have been battling the email server for a long time it feels like. I believe I have finally figured it out and what I needed to change to get it to work appropriately. I ended up having to change the server name and added mail.domain.com to it. I think I could have used anything, not just mail to get this to work. I could have used server1.domain.com or whatever word I wanted. This has to do with the reverse dns that you set in the settings for the server in the hosting companies dashboard. From my understanding, it seems to have something to do with how dmarc or dkim works. I can’t remember 100% off the top of my head right now. Then in the dns of the domain name, which is hosted on another site, i added mail.domain.com as an alias. All of those things point to the same IP, so I don’t think I would have had to add that with how things were set initially with domain.com.
I hope that makes sense. I then had to go into the server and change some of the configuration files for postfix, postfixadmin and change the domain.com entries to mail.domain.com and restart those services. Then I deleted the domains and mailboxes I created for postfix and recreated them. Then all of a sudden all of my test emails were delivered to the email addresses I created and to my gmail account. Now I just have to test the other email account I made and I should be good to go.
The awesome thing about changing the server name, is that I didn’t have to restart the server for it to take effect. You edit your
/etc/hostnamefile and type the name you want your server to be. Then you typehostnamectl set-hostname <new_hostname>and then in the console you can type inhostnamectland it will show the new hostname. -
Linux on a Stickabout an hour ago@phenomlab I tried Manjaro before. I believe I liked it overall. It is one of the ones that I was interested in, but for some reason there was something with it that I didn’t like. Unfortunately, my brain isn’t allowing me to remember what that was. Another thing that I did that I forgot to mention, was after doing the updates, I tested the three games that I installed on it. The one game that I play with my daughter, I just had to reinstall with the setup file and then it worked just fine afterwards and automatically picked up the settings and data that was already stored. For steam, I had to reboot the computer but once I did that, then Steam worked just fine. I installed Minecraft on it and that just worked as soon as I double clicked on it, before the reboot.
I am still quite a newbie with Arch, but so far, I really like it and am actually quite surprised how so far things just seem to just work with it. Now that may be a different story when I go to install it on the desktop and go through these same processes, but my hope is that it will be the same experience.

Linux on a Stickabout 15 hours ago@Madchatthew I guess I’m just not brave enough for Arch, but then again, I felt the same way about Manjaro before I got into it. Having said that, I’ve not used Manjaro for some years so perhaps it’s time to revisit.

Linux on a Stickabout 18 hours agoI purposely didn’t boot up to the USB drive for over a month. I booted up the USB Linux on a stick today and went to the console and did the update command for Arch and no issues whatsoever like in the past. I installed Reflector and it updated the source files for me automatically and I was just able to run the update with no issues. It was so awesome!!
It just worked. So I recommend that if anyone installs and uses Arch whether for a server or desktop for their daily driver that you install Reflector in case you don’t update for awhile for whatever reason.
