Have postfix running on Fedora 8 with ISPConfig... able to receive mail, but, not send it out. Can send locally, however. When trying to send externally I get "Connection timed out (port 25)" error in the log. I haven't been able to find much about this error anywhere... any ideas? Also, when trying to send from Outlook mail client, I get a 554 5.7.1: Relay access denied... when sending from local webmail client, it says it sends fine, but, it gets deferred after a "Connection timed out" error in the log. main.cf file is setup exactly like the "Perfect Server" setup for Fedora 8 & local-host-names are correct. thanks!
First you are getting relaying denied because your network is not in "mynetworks" as for outbound email it seems like you cannot make connections outside to port 25. Test that you can connect to mail servers on the internet using this command Code: telnet a.mx.mail.yahoo.com 25
No such luck... I am on a godaddy dedicated server... and from what I'm reading, they require a relayhost, which I believe is smtp.secureserver.net, but, this doesn't help, either. Code: Trying 209.191.118.103... telnet: connect to address 209.191.118.103: Connection timed out Thanks!
Then you need to setup postfix to use that as a smarthost Code: relayhost = smtp.secureserver.net but just test with telnet as well and see if you can connect to it on port 25 if not then your data center is blocking port 25 speak to them.
some success... GoDaddy's relay server is k2smtpout.secureserver.net so, I set... Code: relayhost = k2smtpout.secureserver.net am able to connect to this host with telnet then restarted postfix and now it does have some capacity to send, although quite slow, but at least its sending... but, I am still getting this error... I think it has to do with mynetworks setting: Code: NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from...: 554 5.7.1: Relay access denied. my local IPs are 10.0.0.1-255 and I have mynetworks set to: Code: mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8, 10.0.0.0/8
If the server is is at godaddys where is the 10.0.0.0/8 network ? Because your server at godaddy will not see your connection as coming from that range as it is not routable and will reject it Have you tried sending the mail from the server itself ?
the local IPs on my server are 10.0.0.1, 10.0.0.2 and 10.0.0.3 on eth0 My public IPs are received by a hardware firewall then forwarded to the server on the above IPs. I'm not sure if 10.0.0.0/8 is the right configuration or not. If not, any idea what I need to put here? Mail can be sent directly from the server to external email addresses and also using the webmail app, just not from an external mail client.
So are you getting relay denied when you are at home or else where ? If so then just use smtp authentication and you will be able to relay.
I've had that set the whole time... still the same problem... tried it from different mail clients and from different connections...
Isn't this setup when I installed Postfix with SMTP-AUTH and TLS? I setup exactly how the tutorial described and have checked the configuration... is there something I have missed? Maybe something not in the walkthrough? This is my postfix/main.cf file... Code: queue_directory = /var/spool/postfix command_directory = /usr/sbin daemon_directory = /usr/libexec/postfix mail_owner = postfix inet_interfaces = all unknown_local_recipient_reject_code = 550 alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases 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 html_directory = no manpage_directory = /usr/share/man sample_directory = /usr/share/doc/postfix-2.3.6/samples readme_directory = /usr/share/doc/postfix-2.3.6/README_FILES smtpd_sasl_local_domain = 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 mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8 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 smtpd_sasl_authenticated_header = yes myhostname = ds1.txtur.net home_mailbox = Maildir/ mailbox_command = relayhost = k2smtpdout.secureserver.net virtual_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/virtusertables mydestination = /etc/postfix/local-host-names
What i mean is that your client is not using it, your server does support it but you need to configure your client to use that.
The client is sending that information, but, still getting "Relay access denied." error... any thoughts??
Hi Falko... I have tried from Outlook, Gmail, and Thunderbird... i've tried at home, from the office, and from wifi connections. Get the same error. Here is the error from the maillog.

I am considering that it is a problem with how GoDaddy handles relays... but, I'm not sure... I have the same setup on another server and it works fine (not hosted with GoDaddy).

I see that you're relaying through another server. Did you set up relaying as follows: http://www.howtoforge.com/postfix_relaying_through_another_mailserver
Tried that... still nothing... GoDaddy support says that a username / password is not needed to relay through the server, it should know that the dedicated server I am on is part of their network and let it through. GoDaddy support isn't much help as I'm not running an approve control panel. Still the same error...
