php mail error

The following php function works fine in another RedHat 9 server using sendmain without ISPConfig.

<?
(mail ("[email protected]", "PHP mail Testing....", "How are you?"));
?>

"test2.com" is another domain hosted in RedHat 9 server.

but the above php function doesn' t work in Fedora 3 using postfix with ISPConfig installed in domain "test.com".
There is no problem receiving or sending emails with webmail using "[email protected]" (web07_sales01) account.

I have the following lines in main.cf:

mydomain = test.com
myorgin = $mydomain
inet_interfaces = all
# local_recipient_maps =
#local_recipient_maps =
mynetworks_style = subnet
#relayhost = $mydomain
#relay_recipient_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/relay_recipients
alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases
alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases
mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, localhost, $mydomain,
mail.$mydomain, www.$mydomain, ftp.$mydomain
mydestination = /etc/postfix/local-host-names
virtual_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/virtusertable
virtual_mailbox_domains = hash:/etc/postfix/vmaildomains
relay_domains = $#mydestination
smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_sasl_authenticated,permit_mynetworks,check_ relay_domains
home_mailbox = Mailbox
virtual_mailbox_base = /var/spool/virtual
virtual_mailbox_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/vmailbox
virtual_mailbox_domains = hash:/etc/postfix/vmaildomains
virtual_uid_maps = static:200
virtual_gid_maps = static:200
virtual_mailbox_lock = dotlock
virtual_minimum_uid = 200

But when I run

telnet localhost 25
and then issue
ehlo localhost

I don't see a line starting with 250-AUTH.


Any suggestion?

 

Please post the exact output of

Code:

telnet localhost 25

 

No. I can't send emails to other domains outside this server (e.g. [email protected]) with the php mail function. When I run the function in the browser,nothing happens at all.

But,when I use webmail to send email with [email protected] to [email protected],it can send out the mail and receive reply from [email protected].

Here is the telnet message:

[root@server1~]# telnet localhost 25

Seems to be a problem with ms2a.hinet.net. I also get "Connection refused":

Maybe you should contact them and ask why this happens...

 

I don't think it as a problem of ms2a.hinet.net,because I can send and receive emails for [email protected] and I can also send and receive emails to [email protected] using [email protected] via ISPConfig's Webmail.

If I change the php mail function to another email address outside of ISPConfig Server,the result is still the same.

<?
(mail ("[email protected]", "PHP mail Testing....", "How are you?"));
?>

Nothing was added to maillog and there is no action at all,nor did I receive any error message on the screen.

Do I need to modify main.cf to other value as below?

mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8
or
mynetworks = 192.168.1.0/24


mynetworks_style = subnet
or
mynetworks_style = host

 

I really think you should contact the maintainer/administrator/ISP of ms2a.hinet.net. I guess they're having some kind of policy the restricts access to that mail server...

 

The problem is smtp authentication. Now I can use php mail funtion without fail. Thanks for your help.
