Linux简单配置SendMail发送邮件

本文简单整理了一下如何在Linux服务器上安装、配置SendMail发送邮件的步骤，此文不是配置邮件服务器，具体测试环境为CentOS Linux release 7.2.1511 (Core) ，如遇特殊平台有所差别，请以实际情况为准则。

Linux 系统版本查看

 

检查、了解系统版本信息，主要是如果使用rpm安装时，需要下载合适的版本。

[root@mylnx06 ~]# more /etc/redhat-release 

CentOS Linux release 7.2.1511 (Core)

 

检查是否安装sendmail组件

 

如下所示，该服务器上并没有安装sendmail的相关组件。那么我们直接使用yum安装sendmail组件即可。

[root@mylnx06 ~]# rpm -qa | grep sendmail

[root@mylnx06 ~]# yum list sendmail

Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, langpacks

Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile

 * epel: ftp.cuhk.edu.hk

Available Packages

sendmail.x86_64                                       8.14.7-4.el7                    base

 

使用yum安装sendmail组件，当然你可以使用其它方式安装，此处不做展开介绍。

[root@mylnx06 ~]# yum install sendmail.x86_64 

Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, langpacks

Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile

 * epel: ftp.cuhk.edu.hk

[root@mylnx06 ~]# 

 

编辑/etc/aliases文件

 

Sendmail有一个非常实用的功能,就是为每个账号取别名(Aliase) 会使用一个在 /etc/aliases 中的档案做使用者名称转换的动作。 所以这个配置文件是可配也可以不配，具体视你的需求而定。

[root@mylnx06 ~]# vi /etc/aliases

#

#  Aliases in this file will NOT be expanded in the header from

#  Mail, but WILL be visible over networks or from /bin/mail.

#

#       >>>>>>>>>>      The program "newaliases" must be run after

#       >> NOTE >>      this file is updated for any changes to

#       >>>>>>>>>>      show through to sendmail.

#

# Basic system aliases -- these MUST be present.

如下截图所示，如果我配置别名为root的，配置接收邮件（下面邮件仅仅是一个模板而已）

 

修改配置文件sendmail.cf

 

修改/etc/mail/sendmail.cf 添加对应的DS, DS后面为邮件服务器的IP地址。根据实际具体情况配置。其实这个配置文件，如果需要，还有蛮多需要配置、细化的地方，此处只讲述最简单的配置。

# host/domain names ending with a token in class P are canonical

CP.

# "Smart" relay host (may be null)

DS[xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx]

# operators that cannot be in local usernames (i.e., network indicators)

CO @ % !

# a class with just dot (for identifying canonical names)

 

重启sendmail服务

[root@mylnx06 ~]# service sendmail status

Redirecting to /bin/systemctl status  sendmail.service

● sendmail.service - Sendmail Mail Transport Agent

测试邮件服务

 

如下所示，使用mail命令测试能否成功收到邮件。如果成功，表示前面配置OK， 如果没有收到邮件，则必须检查日志，然后根据具体错误信息诊断问题。

[root@mylnx06 ~]# cat > test.txt

it is only test

^Z

[1]+  Stopped                 cat > test.txt

[root@mylnx06 ~]# mail -s "test" [email protected] < test.txt 

[root@mylnx06 ~]# 

[azrlnx06azlnx06 ~]$ echo 'it is only a test' | mail -s "test eamil"  [email protected]

[azrlnx06@azlnx06 ~]$
