cant send mail to gmail accounts

Hi till,

Just checked with My ISP. The out going mailserver for them is: smtphm.sympatico.ca or mailhost.sk.sympatico.ca, (depends on who you are talking to over there!).

Can you point me to a how to for relaying through my ISP mailserver?

Thanks

Found theis thread: http://www.howtoforge.com/postfix_relaying_through_another_mailserver. Just tried this:

postconf -e 'relayhost = smtphm.sympatico.ca'
postconf -e 'smtp_sasl_auth_enable = yes'
postconf -e 'smtp_sasl_password_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/sasl_passwd'
postconf -e 'smtp_sasl_security_options ='

echo "smtphm.sympatico.ca userasswd" > /etc/postfix/sasl_passwd

chown root:root /etc/postfix/sasl_passwd
chmod 600 /etc/postfix/sasl_passwd

postmap /etc/postfix/sasl_passwd

/etc/init.d/postfix restart

and got this output:

Just notice that there is a problem with my telnet output:

[root@server1]# telnet localhost 25
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.localdomain (127.0.0.1).
Escape character is '^]'.
220 server1.example.com ESMTP Postfix
421 4.4.2 server1.example.com Error: timeout exceeded
Connection closed by foreign host.

When I go over to another machine and do:

[bill@phoenix]# telnet XXX.com 25
Trying 70.53.152.148...
Connected to localhost.localdomain (127.0.0.1).
Escape character is '^]'.
220 server1.example.com ESMTP Postfix

Any suggestions?

I just downloaded and tried The Perfect Server - CentOS 5.5 x86_64 [ISPConfig 3] vmware image for here: http://www.howtoforge.com/download.php?id=5374_0 .

When I try to: telnet localhost 25, I get this;

I have no clue what I am doing wrong here, any suggestions?

gmail ....

I'm pretty sure gmail is rejecting because of the dynamic dns and reverse lookup. on http://mxtoolbox.com what does the smtp check produce?

Also what does the reverse dns lookup produce? It's a quick and nasty hack (aren't they all) but if you copy that string into /etc/postfix/main.cf such that

smtpd_banner = REVERSE_LOOKUP_STRING ESTMP $mail_name (Debian/GNU)

(it's right neart the top ... )

see it that bites...

 

Hi Torch_za,

OK, here's what I got:

mx:XXX.net

Not an open relay.
0 seconds - Good on Connection time
0.484 seconds - Good on Transaction time
OK - 70.53.152.148 resolves to
Warning - Reverse DNS does not match SMTP Banner

Session Transcript:
HELO please-read-policy.mxtoolbox.com
250 server1.example.com [109 ms]
MAIL FROM: <[email protected]>
250 2.1.0 Ok [125 ms]
RCPT TO: <[email protected]>
554 5.7.1 <[email protected]>: Relay access denied [125 ms]
QUIT
221 2.0.0 Bye [125 ms]

reverse lookup:

PTR 70.XX.XXX.148 bas4-montreal28-1177917588.dsl.bell.ca 24 hrs

From what I understand, I should do this:

smtpd_banner = bas4-montreal28-1177917588.dsl.bell.ca $mail_name Debian/GNU)

Is this what you meant? (googling right now!!!)

Thanks

zog

 

Code:

smtpd_banner = bas4-montreal28-1177917588.dsl.bell.ca ESTMP $mail_name Debian/GNU)

remember though this changes every time your ip resets.. a pain in the butt - if it works then you have your answer.

 

SOLVED!! (sort of!)

Hi everyone,

Well, finally success. I did the following:

I created an account at http://www.dyndns.com/services/mailhop/outbound.html. It is $20.00 USD a year, but after messing with this for the last two months, IMO, well worth it!

I longed into my ISPConfig interface and went to "System", then "Server Config", and then clicked on "server1.example.com".

After, I clicked on the "Mail" tab, (not the upper "Email" tab).

Under "relayhost" field, I entered:

outbound.mailhop.org:2525

Under Relayhost User" I entered the username given to me by dyndns.com.
Under Relayhost Password, I entered the password given to me by dyndns.com.

(NOTE: Not to sound silly, but use the info given to you by dyndns.com, not the example info I have listed!)

I then restarted postfix and everything now works like a charm!!


Many thanks to everyone how has tried to help me with this problem.

I am still would like to figure out how to do SMTP with dynamic IP's, but for now I am happy!

Thanks
to all
