Super simple! centos7, sendmail in local environment, DNS server construction

Introduction

I started studying mail server and DNS server on Linux, There are various information sites, but it's too difficult for me! So, I tried to make it by trial and error.

Only in a closed LAN, disregarding security It is a super simple configuration with the settings cut off to the limit.

Constitution

Use	User name	IP address	mail address
Email sending server	c10	192.168.65.10/24	-
DNS server	c53	192.168.65.53/24	-
Mail receiving server	c20	192.168.65.20/24	[email protected]

構成.png 環境.png

I used one PC (Windows2012ServerR2), VMware Workstation 15 Player, and centos 7.7. A configuration with centos installed on 3 PCs is also OK.

VMware new virtual machine installation and configuration [c10, c20, c53]

After that, please read the address and user name according to each server.

-Create a new virtual machine Installation location: Local standard disk Japanese selection

-Root password: c10 Confirmation: c10

-Create user Full name: c10 Username: c10 Password: c10 Password verification: c10 Make this user an administrator: Check

・ Network adapter NAT: Share and use host IP

Network settings in VMware [c10, c20, c53]

[root@localhost c10/c53/c20]# nmcli connection modify ens33 ipv4.addresses 192.168.65.10/24 ###IP address setting
[root@localhost c10/c53/c20]# nmcli connection modify ens33 ipv4.method manual　　　　　　   ###Set to IP fixed allocation
[root@localhost c10/c53/c20]# nmcli connection modify ens33 connection.autoconnect yes　　  ###Automatic start

[root@localhost c10/c53/c20]# systemctl restart network　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　  ###Network restart

[root@localhost c10]# ip add show

→ For the following work, use terminal software such as teraterm to ssh connect to each machine.

Firewall disabled [c10, c20, c53]

[root@localhost c10/c53/c20]# systemctl stop firewalld      ###Service outage
[root@localhost c10/c53/c20]# systemctl status firewalld    ###Service status check
● firewalld.service - firewalld - dynamic firewall daemon
   Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/firewalld.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)
   Active: inactive (dead)since day 2020-01-05 15:34:19 JST; 979ms ago
     Docs: man:firewalld(1)

→ Confirm that it is inactive.

SELinux disabled [c10, c20, c53]

[root@localhost c10/c53/c20]# vi /etc/selinux/config
#Line 30: Fixed from enforcing
SELINUX=disabled

→ SELinux It is said that it is a module that adds a forced access control function to the Linux kernel. This time it is unnecessary, so stop it.

Introducing various software [c10, c20, c53]

[root@localhost c53]# yum install bind 　　　　　　　　　　   ###DNS server

[root@localhost c10/c53/c20]# yum install telnet
[root@localhost c10/c53/c20]# yum install bind-utils        ###dig command
[root@localhost c10/c53/c20]# yum install tcpdump

[root@localhost c10/c20]# yum install sendmail sendmail-cf  ###Mail server
[root@localhost c10/c20]# yum install mailx　　　　　　　　   ###Used for sending and receiving emails

After installing various software, set the DNS settings inward for the new DNS server. Close the communication within the LAN (192.168.65.x / 24) by disconnecting or blocking the port on the Internet side.

[root@localhost c10/c53/c20]# nmcli connection modify ens33 ipv4.dns 192.168.65.53
[root@localhost c10/c53/c20]# systemctl restart network

Check mail server software [C10, c20]

Check if you are using sendmail as your mail server software.

[root@localhost c20]# alternatives --config mta
There are 2 programs'mta'To provide.

Select command
-----------------------------------------------
   1           /usr/sbin/sendmail.postfix
*+ 2           /usr/sbin/sendmail.sendmail

Press Enter to select the current[+]Or enter the selection number:

→ Select sendmail.

[root@localhost c10/c20]# systemctl stop postfix

→ If postfix is installed, it will stop.

Mail sending server settings [c10]

The sending server is only a sendmail installation, no additional settings are required.

I was able to send and receive emails with the minimum settings! We will continue to learn, improve security, reverse lookup, and add other settings! I hope this post helps someone!
