[MRBS-general] postfix and mrbs...

SourceForge Headquarters 225 Broadway Suite 1600 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 454-5900

First things first, postfix and MRBS are on the same server (opensuse),
postfix works fine from the terminal ... send e-mails within my domain (the
idea).

So far I took a couple of steps to configure postfix and MRBS: need someone
to give me a look at what I've done to see if they notice an error

First my php.ini settings

[mail function]
; For Win32 only.
; http://php.net/smtp
SMTP = localhost
; http://php.net/smtp-port
smtp_port = 25

; For Win32 only.
; http://php.net/sendmail-from
sendmail_from = root@mydomain

; For Unix only.  You may supply arguments as well (default: "sendmail -t
-i").
; http://php.net/sendmail-path
sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i

; Force the addition of the specified parameters to be passed as extra
parameters
; to the sendmail binary. These parameters will always replace the value of
; the 5th parameter to mail(), even in safe mode.
;mail.force_extra_parameters =

; Add X-PHP-Originating-Script: that will include uid of the script followed
by the filename
mail.add_x_header = On

; Log all mail() calls including the full path of the script, line #, to
address and headers
;mail.log =

Now my config.inc.php.

// WHO TO EMAIL
// ------------
// The following settings determine who should be emailed when a booking is
made,
// edited or deleted (though the latter two events depend on the "When"
settings below).
// Set to TRUE or FALSE as required
// (Note:  the email addresses for the room and area administrators are set
from the
// edit_area_room.php page in MRBS)

$mail_settings['admin_on_bookings']      = TRUE;  // the addresses defined
by $mail_settings['recipients'] below
$mail_settings['area_admin_on_bookings'] = TRUE;  // the area administrator
$mail_settings['room_admin_on_bookings'] = TRUE;  // the room administrator
$mail_settings['booker']                 = TRUE;  // the person making the
booking
$mail_settings['book_admin_on_approval'] = TRUE;  // the booking
administrator when booking approval is enabled
                                                   // (which is the MRBS
admin, but this setting allows MRBS
                                                   // to be extended to have
separate booking approvers)

// WHEN TO EMAIL
// -------------
// These settings determine when an email should be sent.
// Set to TRUE or FALSE as required
//
// (Note:  (a) the variables $mail_settings['admin_on_delete'] and
// $mail_settings['admin_all'], which were used in MRBS versions 1.4.5 and
// before are now deprecated.   They are still supported for reasons of
backward
// compatibility, but they may be withdrawn in the future.  (b)  the
default
// value of $mail_settings['on_new'] is TRUE for compatibility with MRBS
1.4.5
// and before, where there was no explicit config setting, but mails were
always sent
// for new bookings if there was somebody to send them to)

$mail_settings['on_new']    = TRUE;   // when an entry is created
$mail_settings['on_change'] = TRUE;  // when an entry is changed
$mail_settings['on_delete'] = TRUE;  // when an entry is deleted

// WHAT TO EMAIL
// -------------
// These settings determine what should be included in the email
// Set to TRUE or FALSE as required

$mail_settings['details']   = TRUE; // Set to TRUE if you want full booking
details;
                                     // otherwise you just get a link to the
entry
$mail_settings['html']      = FALSE; // Set to true if you want HTML mail
$mail_settings['icalendar'] = FALSE; // Set to TRUE to include iCalendar
details
                                     // which can be imported into a
calendar.  (Note:
                                     // iCalendar details will not be sent
for areas
                                     // that use periods as there isn't a
mapping between
                                     // periods and time of day, so the
calendar would not
                                     // be able to import the booking)

// HOW TO EMAIL - CHARACTER SET AND LANGUAGE
// -----------------------------------------
// You can override the charset used in emails if you like, but be sure
// the charset you choose can handle all the characters in the translation
// and that anyone may use in a booking description
//$mail_charset = "iso-8859-1";
// Set the language used for emails (choose an available lang.* file).

$mail_settings['admin_lang'] = 'es';   // Default is 'en'.

// HOW TO EMAIL - ADDRESSES
// ------------------------
// The email addresses of the MRBS administrator are set in the config file,
and
// those of the room and area administrators are set though the
edit_area_room.php
// in MRBS.    But if you have set $mail_settings['booker'] above to TRUE,
MRBS will
// need the email addresses of ordinary users.   If you are using the "db"
// authentication method then MRBS will be able to get them from the users
table.  But
// if you are using any other authentication scheme then the following
settings allow
// you to specify a domain name that will be appended to the username to
produce a
// valid email address (eg "@domain.com").

$mail_settings['domain'] = '@mydomain';

// If you use $mail_settings['domain'] above and username returned by mrbs
contains extra
// strings appended like domain name ('username.domain'), you need to
provide
// this extra string here so that it will be removed from the username.

$mail_settings['username_suffix'] = '';

// HOW TO EMAIL - BACKEND
// ----------------------
// Set the name of the backend used to transport your mails. Either 'mail',
// 'smtp' or 'sendmail'. Default is 'mail'. See INSTALL for more details.
//$mail_settings['admin_backend'] = 'mail';

$mail_settings['admin_backend'] = 'mail';

/*******************
* Sendmail settings
********************/

// Set the path of the Sendmail program (only used with "sendmail" backend).
// Default is '/usr/bin/sendmail'
$sendmail_settings['path'] = '/usr/sbin/sendmail';
// Set additional Sendmail parameters (only used with "sendmail" backend).
// (example "-t -i"). Default is ''
$sendmail_settings['args'] = ' -t -i';

/*******************
 * SMTP settings
********************/

// These settings are only used with the "smtp" backend"

//$smtp_settings['host'] = 'localhost';  // SMTP server
//$smtp_settings['port'] = 25;           // SMTP port number
//$smtp_settings['path'] = '/usr/bin/sendmail'; // Un invento a ver que sale
//$smtp_settings['auth'] = FALSE;        // Whether to use SMTP
authentication
//$smtp_settings['username'] = '';       // Username (if using
authentication)
//$smtp_settings['password'] = '';       // Password (if using
authentication)

// EMAIL - MISCELLANEOUS
// ---------------------
// Set the email address of the From field. Default is 'adm...@yo...
'
//$mail_settings['from'] = 'marcelolemos@mydomain';

$mail_settings['from'] ='ro...@my...';

// Set the recipient email. Default is 'adm...@yo...'. You can
define
// more than one recipient like this "jo...@do...,sc...@ti..."

$mail_settings['recipients'] = 'mar...@my...';

// Set email address of the Carbon Copy field. Default is ''. You can define
// more than one recipient (see 'recipients')

$mail_settings['cc'] = 'marcelo.lemos@myotherdomain';

// Set to TRUE if you want the cc addresses to be appended to the to line.
// (Some email servers are configured not to send emails if the cc or bcc
// fields are set)

$mail_settings['treat_cc_as_to'] = FALSE;

// The filename to be used for iCalendar attachments.   Will always have the
// extension '.ics'
//$mail_settings['ics_filename'] = "booking";

Details: my domain (so the server MRBS) is not the same from where I have my
real email ... are two separate servers: root@mydomian come to be who sends
mail to marcelo.lemos@myotherdomain, as I said, I can, use postfix to send
the e-mail from one server to another without problems (this correctly
configured). but do not get it done by the php .... Any ideas?
