Postfix troubles
Posted: Mon Oct 16, 2006 4:50 pm
Hi there!
I've got some serious trouble with postfix.
What I'm trying to do:
Postfix with SMTP-Autentifcation, Multidomain, accepting from every IP.
My Setup: rootDS account with [netclusive], running Fedora Core 4.
After using a howto from the HowToForge, which got me nowhere, I started looking for another one, that was easier to understand:
http://www.pl-forum.de/berichte/postfix-smtp-auth.html
I didn't use the installation as suggested, though. I installed the rpms with yum.
But I used the config as suggested, which is:
main.cf:
----------
The master.cf is as follows:
I can't send or receive mail and when I try to connect remotely via telnet on port 25, I get a connection refused although the firewall is open as hell for testing reasons. When trying to connect locally with telnet from the console, I get a connection, but no server response.
Postfix is running, though:
Please help, as I get calls from my boss every day concerning the state of the server... and I don't know enough of mail servers
