    What is postfix connecting to on port 60000 ? That is where your problem is.

    Hi topdog,

    The server is behind a router. Whether you meant port 60000 has been forwarded to the server on router? It has NOT been forwarded.

    Please explain in more detail. How to check it on the server? On main.cf OR master.cf? TIA

    B.R.

    No i do not mean port forwarding, look at your maillog postfix is trying to make a connection to a service listening on localhost 60000, it could be configured in either main.cf or master.cf

    Postfix is configured to use a policy daemon on port 60000, this policy daemon is not running, because of that postfix cannot process and deliver mail. You need to start that service

    Which service?

    Whether you meant clamav-daemon ?

    Your clamav is not working but that is not what is supposed to be listening to port 60000, a policy daemon is the one listening to that port ? How did u setup the system as you do not seem to know which components are being used ?

    I followed following document to set up this mail server;

    According to that link the service in question is postgrey. You need to start that service.

    danieljdoughty New Member

    he's right, looks like that HOWTO tells you to set up postgrey on port 60000(you have to search for it as it scrolls off the side of the page) and then you set postfix to reach out to it. this is the line in the main.cf is referencing port 60000.

    s mtpd_recipient_restrictions = reject_unauth_pipelining, permit_mynetworks, permit_sasl_authenticated, reject_non_fqdn_recipient, reject_unknown_recipient_domain, reject_unauth_destination, check_policy_service inet:127.0.0.1:60000,
