Hello I cannot seem to get my postfix to accept incoming mail. I can send fine but I cannot receive. I cannot find any errors in 'maillog' or in 'messages'. Here is an output from postconf -n alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases allow_percent_hack = no append_dot_mydomain = no best_mx_transport = local command_directory = /usr/sbin config_directory = /etc/postfix daemon_directory = /usr/libexec/postfix debug_peer_level = 2 html_directory = no ignore_mx_lookup_error = yes mailq_path = /usr/bin/mailq.postfix manpage_directory = /usr/share/man mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain mydomain = example.com myhostname = maillist.example.com mynetworks_style = subnet myorigin = maillist.example.com newaliases_path = /usr/bin/newaliases.postfix readme_directory = /usr/share/doc/postfix-2.2.2/README_FILES relay_domains = $mydestination, /etc/postfix/relay-domains relayhost = exchangeserver sample_directory = /usr/share/doc/postfix-2.2.2/samples sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail.postfix setgid_group = postdrop unknown_local_recipient_reject_code = 550 This server will relay through an exchange server, but like i said I can send OK and I know that other mail servers are trying to send to this system because it will generate error if there is no MTA running when I attempt to send mail to this system. Any advice on where to start troubleshooting this would be great. Thanks!
Sending mail is really never a problem. It's as you can see receiving. Your problem could be many, but my guess is that it's a DNS MX record problem. Test your DNS at www.dnsreport.com (enter the URL without www in the DNS report box), and let us know the error's that you get. Please note than many ISP's are also blocking mail ports, forcing people to use the ISP's mailservers! This could also be your case.
This is just in a testing stage and is being run on an internal network. I will take a look at DNS but I have setup the appropriate A and MX records.
I'm experiencing he same problem I cannot send mail localy but I can't send mails to people outside my domain (yahoo, hotmail ...) I followed your instructiions and Those are the errors I have on my DNS REPORT: Missing (stealth) nameservers FAIL Missing nameservers 2 FAIL Stealth NS record leakage FAIL Reverse DNS entries for MX records FAIL Connect to mail servers FAIL What do I do from here. I'm using FEDORA and POSTFIX Thanks
What's in your mail log when you try to send a mail locally? What's the output of Code: netstat -tap , and what's in /etc/postfix/main.cf (please strip out the comments)?
