local email server address [solved]

apuschak

Hi,

I'm setting up a local email server and set server as "localhost" in email accounts settings. In roundcube, the identity e-mail shows up as "andrew@localhost" and editing this is disabled, which I need to change to "andrew@mydomain.com". I'm able to do this with a separate install of roundcube, but the built-in epesi one has this disabled. Is there an admin or config file that can let me do this?

Thanks!
Andrew

After searching my system I found it:

# find / -name main.inc.php
/var/www/html/epesi/modules/CRM/Roundcube/src/config/main.inc.php

Changing:
$rcmail_config['identities_level'] = 3;

to:
$rcmail_config['identities_level'] = 0;

However I'm wondering if I'll need to do this for subsequent upgrades?

Thanks,
Andrew

Hello,

Changes made in any files other than those placed in /data folder will most likely be reverted with each upgrade - including RoundCube config file.

Kind regards,

Ok, thanks, I will just have to change this every upgrade and restore.

Wouldn't be better to add mydomain.com to your hosts file and set server as mydomain.com not localhost?

I suppose I could, I haven't switched over mail hosting to this server yet and there are other things running on it, but I guess another hosts entry shouldn't hurt.

That does work! Thanks ajb!

For future reference:

CentOS 6.3 -

vi /etc/hosts
add:
192.168.1.2 myemaildomain.com
service network restart

Now I can set the email account Server in Control Panel to myemaildomain.com instead of localhost.

Nice 🙂

Probably more portable solution will be refer loopback interface, but if you have static ip address it should be ok as is.

# ipv4

127.0.0.1  example.com

# ipv6

::1  example.com

Best regards,
