2. Install PowerMTA on 64-bit Linux server
rpm -Uvh PowerMTA-3.5r16-201012281926.x86_64.rpm

PowerMTA has been installed. Please review the configuration
(in /etc/pmta/config) to ensure it fits your needs.
The PowerMTA User's Guide is available on file:/usr/share/doc/pmta/UsersGuide.pdf.
*** WARNING ***
The SMTP TCP port is already in use by other software on this
system. Installation will continue, but in order to be able to
start up PowerMTA you will need to stop the other software
or reconfigure PowerMTA to use an alternative port. See the
manual section about startup problems for more information.
*** WARNING ***
Thank you for choosing PowerMTA.
This software requires a license to run. To obtain a license key,
please contact Port25 at or call +1.410.750.7687
during office hours, U.S. Eastern Time.
If you already received a license key from Port25, please save it
as /etc/pmta/license before starting PowerMTA.
which means the installation is successful.
3. Copy license file and daemon file pmtad
cp license.linux64 /etc/pmta/license
cp pmtad_linux64 /usr/sbin/pmtad
4. Start pmta service
/etc/rc.d/init.d/pmta start
or
service pmta start
Stop pmta service
/etc/rc.d/init.d/pmta stop
or
service pmta stop
If the service fails to start, use parameter –debug to check.
/usr/sbin/pmtad –debug
5. Modify pmta config to allow access config file via browser.
vi /etc/pmta/config
Find http-access and add：
http-access 21.34.56.78 admin
21.34.56.78 is your own IP address.
Restart pmta service
service pmta start
Now you can access config file via：http://mpta.mydomain.com:8080/editConfig
Note: You don't need to restart pmta after updating the config file in browser.
6. PowerMTA log file is /var/log/pmta/log
If you have any problem during the installation, please check the log file.
7. Maximum open file descriptors
Linux default open file limit is 1024. You need to increase this value for PMTA.
check current connections：
ulimit -n
To increase the limit, open file:
vi /etc/security/limits.conf
add the following lines at the end：
* soft nofile 65535
* hard nofile 65535

Hi
I want to setup PMTA
How can you help me with that.
Sorry, afraid I can’t be of much help.
Hello
I have a list of emails you want to block in the PowerMTA like a blacklist
I do not know how to do.
Can you help me ?
Hi Ricardo, I would use the client software (Interspire, oempro or phplist) to check the blacklist before sending email to PMTA.
Hello.
I think you did not understand my question.
I have a list of e-mails from people and domains you do not want to receive e-mail.
Before using PowerMTA I configured the lock that list in postfix as the following command: smtpd_sender_restrictions check_recipient_access = hash: /etc/postfix/listblock
My question is if there is a command that I can set in the config: /etc/pmta/config that blocks this list.
Thank You
Do you want to block Sender or Recipient? Your postfix config doesn’t look right. It should be
… or …
To block Recipient domain in PMTA, try

Hi Sir,
I had configured PMTA as per your details. everything is working fine. i decide to add dkim key file, created from port25 and the key file was added in
/etc/pmta/domain-key/asdfdf.something.com.pem. but when i insert the dkim identity line into http://asdfdf.something.com:19988/editConfig like
smtp-source-host 123.21.21.45 something.com
domain-key asdfdf,something.com,/etc/pmta/domain-key/asdfdf.something.com.pem
its shows an “Error: cannot add new file “/etc/pmta/domain-key/asdfdf.something.com.pem” to configuration for security reasons.”
please give me a solution to add dkim identity line from pmta monitoring page.
Are you able to add dkim identity line from the command line?
