Invalid (in reply to RCPT TO command)) pls. advice. Thanks
Create MX records for your email domains that point to your DynDNS address. What's in your /etc/postfix/main.cf?
Even it does not helpd for your problem, I would never run a mailserver on a dynamic IP. A server shall have a static IP especially in times of SPAM, so many ppl drop mails from dialup hosts (having dynamic IPs), so do I.
If you want to use Google Apps or similar as your main mail server, then you need to configure Postfix to impersonate an MUA user agent, rather than a transfer agent. You will also need to connect to the Google servers on port 587 or 465, login and submit the mail. For example, see here http://prantran.blogspot.com/2007/01/getting-postfix-to-work-on-ubuntu-with.html Regarding the [email protected], if thats how your website is set up, that is what is going to be used.
myorigin = $mydomain mydomain = lin.ald myhostname = serv.$mydomain inet_interfaces = all mynetworks_style = class mynetworks = 192.168.2.0/24, 0.0.0.0 127.0.0.0/8 delay_warning_time = 4h relayhost = smtp.google.com smtpd_banner = $myhostname ESMTP $mail_name ($mail_version) (Mandrake Linux) unknown_local_recipient_reject_code = 450 smtp-filter_destination_concurrency_limit = 2 lmtp-filter_destination_concurrency_limit = 2 smtpd_sasl_path = /etc/postfix/sasl:/usr/lib/sasl2 recipient_delimiter = + owner_request_special = no alias_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/aliases, hash:/var/lib/mailman/data/aliases smtpd_sasl_local_domain = smtpd_sasl_auth_enable = yes #smtpd_sasl_security_options = noanonymous smtpd_sasl_security_options = broken_sasl_auth_clients = yes smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_sasl_authenticated,permit_mynetworks,rejec t_unauth_destination what will be the mydoain and myhostname ?.... i have tried with my domain name from dyndns but not worked.
ok.. let me explain about the problem more briefly. i am running a web server apache ..with dyndns as vareesh.homelinux.org with postfix, squirrel mail .. 1. My host name is serv.lin.ald when someone type vareesh.homelinux.org can see it. and my web forms and comments are forwarded to smtp server.i use squirrel mail to see them. i can send/receive mail to all the local accoounts . now can i use something like say [email protected] instead of [email protected] because i can not use serv.lin.ald for internet mail. for this i made changes in main.cf and squirrel mail (./configure) but imap error at login.php....when this whole setup was done it wasnt for internet ..but now because i am running web server my mail need to be forwarded to respective mail server. @Falko ..you are right about the MX record ..but i am not able understand it how and where to include these records (which zone file).I have manged to configure a dns (bind) for local lan .. so do i need to change 1. my hostname from serv.lin.ald to vareesh.homelinux.org ? 2. change for mydomain as vareesh.homelinux.org , myhostname as vareesh.homelinux.org in main.cf.? 3. Changes in sqquirrelmail ? 4. MX entry in dns zone. ? pls advice. thanks
I'd use vareesh.homelinux.org for myorigin, mydomain, and myhostname. Make sure that you set the correct sender address in your email client so that Google accepts the mail.
Thanks falko..but no its not working ..with vareesh.homelinuix.org as my origin,mydomain and myhostname..do i have to include my destinations option in main.cf ? one more thing ..whenever i change the imap and smtp setting (through ./configure) in squirrel as domain vareesh.homelinux.org i get permission denied error during login process (login.php) .... see the error messages ....mail going with @serv.lin.ald.. thats the problem .. how to make them as @vareesh.homelinux.org..and say if it goes with @vareesh.homelinux.org will it be acceptable d by gmail ?

ya..its known to me ..thats why i want it as [email protected] ..but what configuration changes are required to get the vareesh.homelinux.org....i am not able to change serv.lin.ald .. 1. I have changed in min.cf mydomain,my origin,myhostname as vareesh.homelinux.org . 2. changes in squirrel mail domain name ,smtp and Imap server update setting as vareesh.homelinux.org.. anything else needed to be changed ? Thanks
email client ? and what do mean by email client..of course i am using squirrel mail ...how to change this serv.lin.ald to vareesh.homelinux.org in squirrel mail..of course after modification in main.cf ..pls advice. Thanks
Outlook, Thunderbird, Squirrelmail, etc. are all email clients. When you're logged in in Squirrelmail, you can change the sender address in the preferences.
