I setup a postfix install using this howto and i cant get it to work. I have posted my postconf -n below anyone know whats wrong? broken_sasl_auth_clients = yes config_directory = /etc/postfix smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_mynetworks, permit_sasl_authenticated, reject_non_fqdn_hostname, reject_non_fqdn_sender, reject_non_fqdn_recipient, reject_unauth_destination, reject_unauth_pipelining, reject_invalid_hostname, reject_rbl_client opm.blitzed.org, reject_rbl_client list.dsbl.org, reject_rbl_client bl.spamcop.net, reject_rbl_client sbl-xbl.spamhaus.org smtpd_sasl_auth_enable = yes smtpd_sasl_local_domain = $myhostname smtpd_sasl_security_options = noanonymous virtual_alias_maps = mysql:/usr/local/postfix/mysql_virtual_alias_maps.cf virtual_gid_maps = static:1001 virtual_mailbox_base = /usr/local/virtual virtual_mailbox_domains = mysql:/usr/local/postfix/mysql_virtual_domains_maps.cf virtual_mailbox_limit = 51200000 virtual_mailbox_maps = mysql:/usr/local/postfix/mysql_virtual_mailbox_maps.cf virtual_minimum_uid = 1001 virtual_transport = virtual virtual_uid_maps = static:1001
problem The problem is the system won't allow me to sent mail. There are no errors in the log that i see. I can download my mail using imap but cannot send.
Do you get any errors in your email client when you try to send, or does the server accept the mail, but the recipient doesn't get it? Have you checked if your server is blacklisted? http://www.mxtoolbox.com/blacklists.aspx
mail client The only error i get from the client is that it cannot send the mail connect refused. I tryed to change my master file and now i am getting mail transport unavailable. I have posted my new master.cf and main.cf.

mail The mail trying to be sent out from the server stops at the Mail Queue. Even the ones for localhost
Try this just for an example to see if you can send mail from the command line sendmail [email protected] type the message then end with ctrl d do that as root just to test your sending ability. If that should work ok then check with your registrar, then add your ip to their settings.
