I have just recently setup a new server following the Prefect Setup guide for Fedora Core 5. I then installed ISPConfig per the intructions provided. I am able to recieve mail from outside and send mail internally. I just cannot send out to any other domains. When I try to send out I get an email back with The following recipient(s) cannot be reached: '[email protected]' on 8/2/2006 12:34 PM 550 <[email protected]>: Recipient address rejected: User unknown in local recipient table Some of the other email I send to hotmail addresses never arrives and no messages come back. My mail log file looks like this...

Please comment out these lines in your main.cf: Code: smtp_sasl_local_domain = smtp_sasl_auth_enable = yes smtp_sasl_security_options = noanonymous and restart Postfix.
I tried what you said and when I send now without authentication the maillog shows this...

Thanks again for helping!
I thought these messages would go with what I posted above... Anyway, I noticed a lot of directives in your main.cf that are not mentioned in the tutorial. Try to remove them.
I am also having very similar problems to this thread. My set up is running Fedora core 5 with Ispconfig v2.2.9. Installed as per howtoforge instructions. I also can receive and send mail internally but not externally. This might be because my isp may be blocking port 25, but a few errors are showing in the mail log. I think the problem may be because of the error. The file 'smtp_sasl_password_maps' dosn't exist on my system or is this something that should be set up from ispconfig. Many thanks in advance for any help you may be able to give. PS I am new to linux and learning very quick lol

Shouldn't "mydestination" be commented out? The current problem I am working on is connecting to the SMTP server via Thunderbird. But I don't want to jack this thread. I was just comparing my main.cf to the last one posted.
Please check that there is no white space in the string Code: reject _unauth_destination that appears twice in the configuration file. It must be: Code: reject_unauth_destination
Thanks till, Im not sure why the white space is showing, as it isnt there in the original main.cf. Must have been added when I copied it over to the forum. Just in case it was a hidden character I have deleted the text and re entered it. Still getting the same errors
Did you follow this tutorial to set up the system? http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect_setup_fedora_core_5 What's the output of Code: uname -m ?
Ok have fixed the problem with password file. The problem was in my main.cf file not sure what but when I replaced it with the one from the tutorial and then restarted the server it now works. I am now able to send emails out to external servers. I still have two problems though 1. When I send emails to say another email user on my system I get a loop back error 2. I am unable to receive incoming emails from external sources this may be just a dns error or my isp blocking port 25
Please add the domain / hostname that is mentioned in the loopback error at the end of the file /etc/postfix/local-host-names and restart postfix. 2) This might be solved too when you solve 1).
Thanks Till That fixed that problem but I am still unable to receive externally on port 25, will have a word with my isp. I do get the error verify=fail in my maillog would that be a problem Code: Jan 22 08:22:54 server1 postfix/smtpd[2919]: connect from localhost[127.0.0.1] Jan 22 08:22:54 server1 postfix/smtpd[2919]: setting up TLS connection from localhost[127.0.0.1] Jan 22 08:22:55 server1 sendmail[2918]: STARTTLS=client, relay=[127.0.0.1], version=TLSv1/SSLv3, verify=FAIL, cipher=DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA, bits=256/256 Jan 22 08:22:55 server1 postfix/smtpd[2919]: TLS connection established from localhost[127.0.0.1]: TLSv1 with cipher DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA (256/256 bits)
Update: I have spoken to my isp and they have confirmed they don't block port 25. I have also checked my router and that port 25 is open. Maybe I have some dns or mx setting wrong.
This error has also appeared in my logs Code: Jan 22 10:27:17 server1 postfix/qmgr[4518]: A362891E274: from=<[email protected]>, size=4215, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Jan 22 10:27:17 server1 postfix/smtp[5546]: warning: numeric domain name in resource data of MX record for elmtreedesign.co.uk: 194.106.43.87 Jan 22 10:27:17 server1 postfix/smtp[5546]: connect to 194.106.43.87[194.106.43.87]: Connection refused (port 25) Jan 22 10:27:18 server1 postfix/smtp[5546]: A362891E274: to=<[email protected]>, relay=none, delay=301787, status=deferred (connect to 194.106.43.87[194.106.43.87]: Connection refused)
The MX record should be a system name. The system name used should be resolvable with at least an A record. Try to fix this and try again.
