Update-grub : Dual Boot - Grub Load

Hi,

 From last 2days I was trying to upgrade my laptop from Debian Lenny 5.0 to Debian Squeeze 6.0, As there was some problem with my internet connection I was not able to do it.

After 24hrs I was able to connect to internet. Now my machine is upgraded with Debian Squeeze 6.0 finally and thought of sharing a small issue faced with boot loader after the upgradation.

When upgradation was proceeding it asked to select the partition to install the boot-loader. It showed the two partition /dev/sda (Ubuntu partition) & /dev/sda2 (Debian Partition) as I was not sure, installed the boot-loader on /dev/sda. After the complication the laptop rebooted and I was not able to find the Ubuntu 10.04 in my grub. I found only the debian kernel boot loader. After some try I figured it out, if it needs to updated run the command update-grub.  Run this command on live machine. Also check where the master boot record is pointed and run the update command.

By this the grub will read the partition table re-generate the grub.cfg as below.

cyclotron:~# update-grub
Generating grub.cfg ...

How to Restrict postfix recipient in zimbra

Restrict postfix recipient in zimbra

This will show how you can modify postfix to restrict who can send to certain address in your domain such as distribution like team@domain.com.

These change will most likely not persist between upgrades!!!

zimbra/conf/postfix_recipient_restrictions.cf. Also permissions on files created in /opt/zimbra/postfix/conf/ will be changed.

• Create permitted sender list as zimbra user under /opt/zimbra/postfix/conf/

permitted_sender List :- This file contains domains list OR User mail list, Only protected senders can send mail to this domains OR users.

# vim /opt/zimbra/postfix/conf/permitted_senders

localhost                         OK

myhost.com                    OK

mydomain.com                OK

username@domain.com   OK

• Create protected recipient file as zimbra user under /opt/zimbra/postfix/conf/

protected_recipients :- This file contains email address that can only receive from permitted senders

# vim /opt/zimbra/postfix/conf/protected_senders

myteam@domain.com                 permitted_senders_list

protect_users@domain.com         permitted_senders_list

• Include the important setting to /opt/zimbra/postfix/conf/main.cf

permitted_senders_list=check_senders_access hash:/opt/zimbra/postfix/conf/permitted_senders, reject

smtpd_restriction_classes = permitted_senders_list,local_only

FYI :- The changes in main.cf will not survive after the upgrade of zimbra.

• Now add the this restriction on the top of all line.

# vim /opt/zimbra/conf/postfix_recipient_restrictions.cf

check_recipient_access hash:/opt/zimbra/postfix/conf/protected_recipients

• Reload the settings

/opt/zimbra/postfix/sbin/postmap /opt/zimbra/postfix/conf/permitted_senders

/opt/zimbra/postfix/sbin/postmap /opt/zimbra/postfix/conf/protected_recipients

/opt/zimbra/postfix/sbin/postmap /opt/zimbra/postfix/conf/postfix_recipient_restrictions.cf

/opt/zimbra/postfix/sbin/postfix  reload

FYI :- This configuration can also used in normal postfix..
