Setup a Local Test Mail Server with Ubuntu Linux
Well, I do a lot of testing and developing of/with web application. Mostly testing of Web Softwares and plugins requires mail functionality, for example self-service password forgot function and others. Using ISPs smtp server for these is rather difficult at times and some requires hacking the code. Setting up a local mail transfer agent (mta) has become a top most requirement. I use Ubuntu Linux and the default seems to be sendmail but I have been struggling to setup sendmail as a smarthost (to use gmail to relay emails). The configuration was harder than I thought. So I switched to postfix and was able to setup a local mail server within minutes. Here follows the setups for my future references and for anyone who need this.
1. Install postfix and certificates
1 | sudo apt-get install postfix libsasl2-2 libsasl2-modules ca-certificates |
In the install wizard that follows select Internet with smarthost and add [smtp.gmail.com]:587 as the relayhost
2. Additional postfix configurations
As sudo edit and add the following to the /etc/postfix/main.cf
Just below the line that says mydestination =
add the following (I prefer Maildir over Mbox)
1 2 3 | inet_interfaces = all mydestination = mail.yusufge.local, yusuf-ET1665, localhost.localdomain, localhost home_mailbox = Maildir/ |
Just below the line that says relayhost = [smtp.gmail.com]:587
add the following
1 2 3 4 5 6 | relayhost = [smtp.gmail.com]:587 smtp_sasl_auth_enable = yes smtp_sasl_password_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/gmail_passwd smtp_sasl_security_options = noanonymous smtp_tls_CAfile = /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt smtp_use_tls = yes |
3. Add SMTP authenticating user/password and adjust the file
As sudo create and add the following to /etc/postfix/gmail_passwd
1 | [smtp.gmail.com]:587 youremailadd@gmail.com:password |
Next adjust the permission of this newly created file
1 | sudo chmod 700 /etc/postfix/gmail_passwd |
Also translate this file to a db file that postfix can understand
1 | sudo postmap /etc/postfix/gmail_passwd |
4. Restart the postfix
1 | sudo /etc/init.d/postfix restart |
With the above 4 step your local mail server will be up and running so let us test it. In the terminal:
1 | telnet localhost smtp |
Trying 127.0.0.1…
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is ‘^]’.

Instead of yusuf, use your box username or a valid email address above in the mail from: and rcpt to:, but if you use any other name than the gmail account that you authenticated with, it will end up as spam or rejected by some mail severs.
Also note, do not use this for high traffic servers, only recommended for home based setup for testing. In addition, the Google account that you use will store all outgoing messages (via Internet) in the Google Send Mail folder!
As for in my testing, the mail will end up in the following folder at: /home/yusuf/Maildir/new
1 2 | cd /home/yusuf/Maildir/new/ ls |
1316721453.V801I1301bc6M935924.yusuf-ET1665
To check the content of the file type cat the file (you can use tab key auto complete)
1 | cat 1316721453.V801I1301bc6M935924.yusuf-ET1665 |

Youtube Video Download Ruby Script
The nation is mourning on the loss of 4 students and the principal of Hiriyaa School in a drowning accident. After some time out with a friend I decided to spend the day indoor. 
When at home and with my computer can’t help, but get productive. So I decided to do a little experiment for a download manager that we are working on. Here is a ruby experimental script that can download YouTube Videos. Working as of September 9, 2011 but YouTube changes a lot so let me know when this breaks.
Note this a rough script, so feel free to improve.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 | require 'open-uri' youtubepath = 'http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6tWLqFmaNdQ' uri = URI.parse(youtubepath) open(uri) do |file| openedsource = file.read # search for the title rgtitlesearch = Regexp.new(/\<meta name="title" content=.*/) vidtitle = rgtitlesearch.match(openedsource) vidtitle = vidtitle[0].gsub("<meta name=\"title\" content=\"","").gsub("\">","").gsub(/ /,'')+".flv" # search for the download link rglinksearch = Regexp.new(/,url=.*\\u0026quality=/) vidlink = rglinksearch.match(openedsource) vidlink[0].split(",url=").each do |foundlinks| vidlink = foundlinks.gsub(",url=","").gsub("\\u0026quality=","").gsub("%3A",":").gsub("%2F","/").gsub("%3F","?").gsub("%3D","=").gsub("%252C",",").gsub("%253A",":").gsub("%26","&") end def download vidlink, vidfile writeOut = open(vidfile, "wb") writeOut.write(open(vidlink).read) writeOut.close end download(vidlink,vidtitle) puts "Download Done!" end |
Things missing and you might want to improve…
- Easier YouTube link inputs
- Assign Video Type (mp4, flv, etc) and Quality
- Download Progress Bar
- Clean up the code, including remove dups
