First of all I must say I love this site, it is very useful. I followed the perfect setup for FC4 and have had everything working nicely for sometime. I have had my smtp server (postfix) disabled for quite some time, as someone on my subnet was using my server as a relay. And, at the time, I didn't have time or need to fix it. Though, I managed to sort that out yesterday. Now, I can send and recieve mail locally (via mail command or webmail plugin for ISPConfig) no problem I can even connect externally and download/delete/etc mail via POP3 externally (Outlook and Thunderbird). But, for the life of me I cannot get sending to work from either outlook or thunderbird. As per the perfect setup, I had installed saslauth. I get no error in the maillog relating to this at all. Outlook reports: Thunderbird just reports unable to send. As far as I can tell, port 25 is open to connections. I am, however, just an average Linux user and noob Linux server maintainer Hopefully someone can help solve my probably silly missconfiguration problem. And I have spent much time searching this forum for answers, but all the threads about this don't seem to help me find the problem. I also tried various requires auth settings in both apps, but no luck. /etc/postfix/main.cf Code: queue_directory = /var/spool/postfix command_directory = /usr/sbin daemon_directory = /usr/libexec/postfix mail_owner = postfix myorigin = wreckedgames.com inet_interfaces = all unknown_local_recipient_reject_code = 550 mynetworks = 72.21.55.243, 72.21.55.244, 72.21.55.245, 72.21.55.246, 127.0.0.0/8 alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases smtpd_banner = $myhostname ESMTP $mail_name (GNU/Linux) debug_peer_level = 2 debugger_command = PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin xxgdb $daemon_directory/$process_name $process_id & sleep 5 sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail.postfix newaliases_path = /usr/bin/newaliases.postfix mailq_path = /usr/bin/mailq.postfix setgid_group = postdrop smtpd_sasl_local_domain = $myhostname smtpd_sasl_auth_enable = yes smtpd_sasl_security_options = noanonymous broken_sasl_auth_clients = yes smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_sasl_authenticated,permit_mynetworks,reject_unauth_destination smtpd_tls_auth_only = no smtp_use_tls = yes smtpd_use_tls = yes smtp_tls_note_starttls_offer = yes smtpd_tls_key_file = /etc/postfix/ssl/smtpd.key smtpd_tls_cert_file = /etc/postfix/ssl/smtpd.crt smtpd_tls_CAfile = /etc/postfix/ssl/cacert.pem smtpd_tls_loglevel = 1 smtpd_tls_received_header = yes smtpd_tls_session_cache_timeout = 3600s tls_random_source = dev:/dev/urandom virtual_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/virtusertable mydestination = /etc/postfix/local-host-names /etc/postfix/master.cf Code: smtp inet n - n - - smtpd pickup fifo n - n 60 1 pickup cleanup unix n - n - 0 cleanup qmgr fifo n - n 300 1 qmgr tlsmgr unix - - n 1000? 1 tlsmgr rewrite unix - - n - - trivial-rewrite bounce unix - - n - 0 bounce defer unix - - n - 0 bounce trace unix - - n - 0 bounce verify unix - - n - 1 verify flush unix n - n 1000? 0 flush proxymap unix - - n - - proxymap smtp unix - - n - - smtp relay unix - - n - - smtp -o fallback_relay= showq unix n - n - - showq error unix - - n - - error discard unix - - n - - discard local unix - n n - - local virtual unix - n n - - virtual lmtp unix - - n - - lmtp anvil unix - - n - 1 anvil scache unix - - n - 1 scache maildrop unix - n n - - pipe flags=DRhu user=vmail argv=/usr/local/bin/maildrop -d ${recipient} old-cyrus unix - n n - - pipe flags=R user=cyrus argv=/usr/lib/cyrus-imapd/deliver -e -m ${extension} ${user} cyrus unix - n n - - pipe user=cyrus argv=/usr/lib/cyrus-imapd/deliver -e -r ${sender} -m ${extension} ${user} uucp unix - n n - - pipe flags=Fqhu user=uucp argv=uux -r -n -z -a$sender - $nexthop!rmail ($recipient) ifmail unix - n n - - pipe flags=F user=ftn argv=/usr/lib/ifmail/ifmail -r $nexthop ($recipient) bsmtp unix - n n - - pipe flags=Fq. user=foo argv=/usr/local/sbin/bsmtp -f $sender $nexthop $recipient Thanks
Heh, it seems that it is indeed working fine. I appear to behine a firewall on the clientside blocking my connection to port 25. Thanks again for the great tutorials
