Hi everyone, I'm trying to figure out why postgrey is rejecting incoming mail... From the syslog: Sep 21 16:12:24 mail postfix/smtpd[31224]: connect from mail.ncf.ca[134.117.136.45] Sep 21 16:12:24 mail dovecot: auth: Debug: Loading modules from directory: /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/auth Sep 21 16:12:24 mail dovecot: auth: Debug: Module loaded: /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/auth/libdriver_mysql.so Sep 21 16:12:24 mail dovecot: auth: Debug: auth client connected (pid=31224) Sep 21 16:12:24 mail postfix/smtpd[31224]: Anonymous TLS connection established from mail.ncf.ca[134.117.136.45]: TLSv1 with cipher ADH-AES256-SHA (256/256 bits) Sep 21 16:12:25 mail postgrey[1519]: action=greylist, reason=new, client_name=mail.ncf.ca, client_address=134.117.136.45, [email protected], [email protected] Sep 21 16:12:25 mail postfix/smtpd[31224]: NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from mail.ncf.ca[134.117.136.45]: 450 4.2.0 <[email protected]>: Recipient address rejected: Greylisted, see http://postgrey.schweikert.ch/help/comingtoatheatrenearyou.com.html; from=<[email protected]> to=<[email protected]> proto=ESMTP helo=<mail.ncf.ca> Sep 21 16:12:25 mail postfix/smtpd[31224]: disconnect from mail.ncf.ca[134.117.136.45] Any help greatly appreciated.
How interesting... so it's a temporary delay presumably because most spammers won't try several times. I wonder how long the delay is?
I lowered the default to 60 by adjusting hte POSTGREY_OPTS for debugging purposes. Oh and the missing /etc/var/mail.log was an error on my part. I recreated it with the appropriate chmod switch and postfix is now writing to the mail.log as it should. I am actually able to send mail out now from the domain to other addresses, and I know mail is arriving as it's shown in the log but, of course, I'm just not quite sure where to look for it... presumably somewhere via mysql. I thought the "mail" command would show it to me but no such luck. There is some more progress on the project and I thank you again for your input.
