Please help me where am doing wrong.

named (BIND) configuration is wrong.
It has nothing to do with postfix.
named-checkconf -z tells what is wrong and you have BIND ADMINISTRATORS GUIDE at distance od internet search.

Please suggest how to avoid this error:

ASKER

For troubleshoot:

I have run Successfully 1 command and second command and then 2 files created by epel_

in /etc/yum.repos.d folder.

I deleted both folder for testing because i have already created yum directory in this folder.
after doing this again tried to install squirrelmail but not worked.
then again run 1 command and 2 command but now it is telling
no package available of squirrelmail. Please help me for the same.

yum clean all
yum check-update
you need to have centos repositories as epel pulls its requisites from them (system will become centos 5.10 in the end)

ASKER

am doing in RH-6

yum install squirrelmail
Loaded plugins: refresh-packagekit, rhnplugin
This system is not registered with RHN.
RHN support will be disabled.
Setting up Install Process
No package squirrelmail available.
Error: Nothing to do

ASKER

How would i get centos repositories in RED HAT 6?

ASKER

"This system is not registered with RHN.
RHN support will be disabled."

How to enable this and what does mean

First line of your question says CENTOS 5.2

To get access to redhat repositories you need to enter your RHN credentials in rhn_register tui/gui (that costs 1 redhat subscription)

1:-IS it Possible possible to install mail server in Red Hat-6?

Hi
http://ostechnix.wordpress.com/2013/02/08/setup-mail-server-using-postfixdovecotsquirrelmail-in-centosrhelscientific-linux-6-3-step-by-step/

This is very useful site and am following this:
My point is below:

1:- When I follow in Red Hat-6 it works same to same line by line in Postfix and dovecot configuration.it creates only problem in installation of squirrelmail

2: when I follow in CentOs then this site does not match line by line in postfix and dovecot configuration. I found many thing difference. Please help me.

squirrelmail pkg can be downloaded separately can then can be installed.

TY/SA

ASKER

please also tell me step by step for installation and How it could be downloaded.

go to rhn.redhat.com
log in with your subscription ID, register the system, and "yum install squirrelmail"

sorry, default config for all rpms is 1:1 between rhel and centos.

ASKER

Hi Sysrams:

I am configuring postfix in RED HAT6, the link which you have mentioned is good; am following same step by step in it works till dovecot coniguration. But when I tried to configure squirrelmail and getting difficulty and won't be able to install it. Please tell me other command so that i may download and install it without registration.

or
I am trying to install postfix in Centos5 and following the link is not matching so getting more confusion.

Please help me and send similar link for centos or suggest which version is compatible for this site.

Thank you very much for you

Postfix versions on both EL5 and EL6 are almost same
On EL5 you might want to disable/remove sendmail to not interfere with your postfix trades

ASKER

am talking how to install squirrelmail in RH6

Add redhat optional repository via RHN
Add EPEL repository https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL (rpm --import import key file, rpm --install epel-release.el6.rpm)
then
yum install squirrelmail

For the reference you can use below link

Actually everybody else helped you. I dont get the idea hos potfixadmin or named are relevant to your initial question. If it sounded like "help me to fix misconfigured mail server" all the discussion was in right place
