Hello, I have a special problem here. When I Telnet to my server and send a message from there, it works fine. When I use my e-mail client, configured to use authentication, it works fine. However, my Postfix quota reports are not sent, with a "Relay denied" from my domain name registrar (they tell me it should work and is a problem with Postfix). I use virtual domains in a MySQL table. Also, oddly, sending mail from Telnet to an address in one of my other domains (I own 4 domains, all with the same registrar) also gets a "Relay denied"... I'm lost! Thanks in advance to all who will help! PierreQuebec

Are you sure that the MX record for server1.pierrepaquette.net is correct?

Hmmm to be honest, I do not know. I was making Postfix tests with my jetetrouve.com domain as it doesn't receive any mail for the moment. My "main" pierrepaquette.net address does receive a lot of mail, and I didn't want to lose anything to Postfix problems. I guess I should transfer all my mail to my own Postfix server and not to my ISP's server... Being at the office right now, this would be a little hard to do, but I'll do it as soon as I get home and run more tests. This should be in about 6 hours from now. Stay tuned! ;-) And thanks for all your help!
Oops forgot to say that my Postfix will eventually manage mail for 4 domains: pierrepaquette.net jetetrouve.com (which is the only one right now) cielprofond.info quebecscope.info
Thanks, indeed it was an MX record error. I should mention here that I am new to all this (as you may have guessed) and never thought I would need an MX server for my mail.jetetrouve.com virtual server. I have now updated my MX records and it seems to work just fine for all four of my domains: pierrepaquette.net (the main one), jetetrouve.com, cielprofond.info and quebecscope.info However for some reason I still get an error when sending to an hotmail address: (by Telnet; didn't try from my e-mail client [Thunderbird] as I'm getting sleepy [1:10am here] and will configure it tomorrow) Mar 19 00:56:52 server postfix/smtpd[9944]: connect from localhost[127.0.0.1] Mar 19 00:56:52 server postfix/smtpd[9944]: 317D1DFC09: client=localhost[127.0.0.1] Mar 19 00:56:52 server postfix/cleanup[9935]: 317D1DFC09: message-id=<[email protected]> Mar 19 00:56:52 server postfix/qmgr[9451]: 317D1DFC09: from=<[email protected]>, size=884, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Mar 19 00:56:52 server postfix/smtpd[9944]: disconnect from localhost[127.0.0.1] Mar 19 00:56:52 server amavis[4992]: (04992-06) Passed CLEAN, LOCAL [127.0.0.1] [127.0.0.1] <[email protected]> -> <[email protected]>, Message-ID: <[email protected]>, mail_id: J+Hrjj1xA+Z2, Hits: -0.155, queued_as: 317D1DFC09, 3353 ms Mar 19 00:56:52 server postfix/smtp[9937]: 5B998DFC07: to=<[email protected]>, relay=127.0.0.1[127.0.0.1]:10024, delay=22, delays=18/0.09/0.01/3.4, dsn=2.6.0, status=sent (250 2.6.0 Ok, id=04992-06, from MTA([127.0.0.1]:10025): 250 2.0.0 Ok: queued as 317D1DFC09) Mar 19 00:57:22 server postfix/smtp[9945]: connect to mx1.hotmail.com[65.54.244.136]:25: Connection timed out Mar 19 00:57:52 server postfix/smtp[9945]: connect to mx4.hotmail.com[65.54.245.104]:25: Connection timed out Mar 19 00:58:22 server postfix/smtp[9945]: connect to mx2.hotmail.com[65.54.244.168]:25: Connection timed out Mar 19 00:58:52 server postfix/smtp[9945]: connect to mx1.hotmail.com[65.54.245.8]:25: Connection timed out Mar 19 00:59:22 server postfix/smtp[9945]: connect to mx4.hotmail.com[65.54.244.232]:25: Connection timed out Mar 19 00:59:22 server postfix/smtp[9945]: 317D1DFC09: to=<[email protected]>, relay=none, delay=150, delays=0.13/0.05/150/0, dsn=4.4.1, status=deferred (connect to mx4.hotmail.com[65.54.244.232]:25: Connection timed out) Your help is very much appreciated! How do I "thank" you? I don't see the thank button?! (Maybe I'm blind.)
OK yes I *AM* blind, I just saw the Thanks button sorry. But I still need to figure out why I get timed out sending to Hotmail...
Still won't work... and another problem! Sheesh, looks like it still won't work for sending mail! :-( My MX records are OK: Code: dig mx pierrepaquette.net ; <<>> DiG 9.4.1-P1 <<>> mx pierrepaquette.net ;; global options: printcmd ;; Got answer: ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 14363 ;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 1, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 1 ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;pierrepaquette.net.

Thanks in advance, Pierre
Another piece of info here... It seems that my ISP actually does block port 25 for outgoing connexions... Is there a workaround? I heard we can set postfix to use another port (such as 26)?
