Postfix not sending mails to any outside domain except my own

Postfix is sending emails only for my domain, nemogucamisija.com. But not to gmail or any other. User however can receive emails from any mail servers (gmail, yahoo... ). Here is /var/log/maillog output:

Any idea? Thanks in advance!

 

post the output of postconf -n ... or the content of main.cf

 

postconf -n

Yes, I have tried ISPConfig, but it could not install, so i decided not to go ISPConfig route. I instead installed webmin+virtualmin.

 

And yes, this is postfix 2.9.4 on Ceont0s 6 x86_64, built from source (as root). Had to remove 2.6 cause of ISPConfig ...

 

if i'm not mistaken

should be

Code:

transport_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/transport

but first run this command

Code:

postmap /etc/postfix/transport

and then restart postfix

 

Tried, but got error:

 

Also, I created all missing files from first post, chown-ed them to postfixostfix, but now i got some other errors (restart postfix + mail delivery):

Any way to reset settings to default or some command to rebuild config files?

 

I perhaps didn't explained it right - I tried to install ISPConfig, but installation failed. Then, I uninstaled ISPConfig and deleted what left and installed webmin+virtualmin. Because some settings still was left from ISP, I removed postfix (yum remove postfix) and then build postfix 2.9.4 from source as root.

Unfortunately, server gone live, web site must be running so some switch to ISPconfig is not a option now. Is there some own postfix solution to rebuild settings, or something in webmin/virtualmin?

 

Hi lazacom;

I am having send problems on my new server as well, so take what I say with a grain of salt. I have done so much reading attempting to solve my problem, that I can readily see some problems with yours.

1. When you move from ispconfig to virtualmin (or from any panel to another for that matter), always do a complete re-install first. Different panels access system files differenly and you don't want the remains of one interfering with another.

2. Postfix should run as root. Here is a directory listing of a server that is running virtualmin/postfix/dovecot:

# ls -l
total 100
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 0 2012-01-09 16:45 bcc
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 12288 2012-02-24 14:24 bcc.db
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 370 2012-01-09 16:41 dynamicmaps.cf
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1737 2012-05-09 18:23 main.cf
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5357 2012-01-09 16:46 master.cf
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 18992 2011-05-10 08:47 postfix-files
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 8729 2011-05-10 08:47 postfix-script
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 24256 2011-05-10 08:47 post-install
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2012-01-09 16:46 sasl
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 3690 2012-05-09 18:23 virtual
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 12288 2012-05-09 18:23 virtual.db

notice that everything is chowned root:root. It's not exactly the same on ispconfig, but you are using virtualmin, not ispconfig, so I would think yours should look more like the above.

 

Tnx, tried to chown it to root, and errors reduced to half. Now I just get:

Pretty good progress but still not sending emails to any other domain except mine. Any idea what to put in files above, I just created all of them, so they are blank.

 

you misconfigured something in /etc/postfix/mysql-virtual_mailboxes.cf maybe a typo or something similar

 

Hi lazacom;

That setting is a left over from ISPConfig3. Here is the postconf -n command output from a virtualmin server I have access to:

/etc/postfix# postconf -n
alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases
alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases
allow_percent_hack = no
append_dot_mydomain = no
biff = no
broken_sasl_auth_clients = yes
config_directory = /etc/postfix
home_mailbox = Maildir/
mailbox_command = /usr/bin/procmail-wrapper -o -a $DOMAIN -d $LOGNAME
mailbox_size_limit = 0
message_size_limit = 40960000
milter_default_action = accept
milter_protocol = 2
mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, $mydomain
mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8 [::ffff:127.0.0.0]/104 [::1]/128
non_smtpd_milters = inet:localhost:8891
readme_directory = no
recipient_delimiter = +
sender_bcc_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/bcc
smtp_tls_session_cache_database = btree:${data_directory}/smtp_scache
smtpd_banner = mail.noahidenations.com ESMTP $mail_name (Ubuntu)
smtpd_milters = inet:localhost:8891
smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_mynetworks permit_sasl_authenticated reject_unauth_destination
smtpd_sasl_auth_enable = yes
smtpd_sasl_security_options = noanonymous
smtpd_tls_cert_file = /etc/ssl/certs/ssl-cert-snakeoil.pem
smtpd_tls_key_file = /etc/ssl/private/ssl-cert-snakeoil.key
smtpd_tls_session_cache_database = btree:${data_directory}/smtpd_scache
smtpd_use_tls = yes
virtual_alias_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/virtual

Notice that the mail directory is not virutal, but home_mailbox = Maildir/ ... the mail directory on this server is /home/domainName/Maildir. Basically, the mailbox configurations are handled differently in virtualmin than ispconfg.

 

"Pretty good progress but still not sending emails to any other domain except mine. Any idea what to put in files above, I just created all of them, so they are blank."

It's not really that simple. Those file configure how to set up mailboxes that are maintained in mysql like ispconfig does it. I don't think that's what you are actually after.

Let me ask you this, can you send to other domains with webmail or not?

Greg

 

Not tried webmail, but I can install squirrelmail and check it...

 

read the documentation ... http://www.postfix.org/documentation.html/ , i'm still not sure what you're trying to acomplish

 

Go for it!

 

I think he's trying to do the same thing I am: Using a mail client such as Outlook or Thunderbird, connected from outside of $mynetworks, send to a domain that is not $mydomain. Do you know how to do that?

 

1. yes i know how to do that but i wont explain this here since it has been posted in the HowTo's section http://www.howtoforge.com/howtos/email/postfix many times with all kind/type of configurations.

2. i've posted above the link for the oficial postfix documentation did you even bother to click on it ? ... there are some examples on how to configure postfix with or without virtual users

3. postfix alone will not work because you'll need an imap,pop service to interact with the postfix MTA when you're sending mail from a mail client , or webmail ... dovecot,cyrus and/or courier will do that

4. to make this easy for you guys there are some very good all in one packages out there
(smtp,pop3,imap,webmail) like iRedMail , Zimbra both are using postfix as their MTA, or Axigen Free Edition that has it's own proprietary mail system with everything.

These being said , when you don't know how something works ... read the documentation!
Have fun!
