Hi Paul
I restarted postfix several times on system X. I even restarted the entire system. The DNS isn't an issue I tried the IP address. I was wondering if there was certificate or Some password issue, is that possible? Something isn't connecting between the two. On telnet w IP it says unable to connect. I know nothing about postfix either. It is weird that I can email from X though. I tried postfix status from MAN and postfix flush but that didn't reveal much. Its weird that the delivery on A says deferred connection timed out but on tcpdump I see the port 25 Traffic seemingly working on system X. Thanks, any postfix/mail braniacs out there?

If you try telnettting to the IP of X on port 25, you can rule out a DNS issue. Paul. On 25/02/2012 14:35, Bender, Chris wrote: Hi Paul Interesting I hadn't thought if that. Telnetting to port 25 has no results whatsoever. Does it matter that machine X doesn't support telnet though. It only allows SSH. telnet: connect to address 0.0.4.41: Connection refused telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused thanks From: Paul Macdonald [mailto:p...@ifdnrg.com] Sent: Saturday, February 25, 2012 9:12 AM To: Bender, Chris Cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: Email issues, relay failure On 25/02/2012 13:41, Bender, Chris wrote: Hi Paul, What is happening is mail is coming from machine A--à sent to a middle machine X which I think is acting as a delivery machine(as I see postfix as a processes) which iisn't the recipient of the mail just Deliverer. It is also a jails machine. Anyway the logs on system A say the following when sending a mail to me through X.

I did a tcp dump on system X and I did see packets coming in and out from X on port 25 but nothing came in on the maillog. Ok, i don't know Postfix so someone else might have to pick up here. It sounds like there might be a local mailer (submission queue) running on X, but not SMTP. The message from A was that it couldn't connect to X. (Deferred: Connection timed out with tools2.wms.cell.com) what do you get if you try telnetting from A to X telnet tools2.wms.cell.com 25 (if you get a connection, good, try following these instructions to send a mail manually via telnet) http://www.yuki-onna.co.uk/email/smtp.html If not, have you tried restarting postfix on X?

Sendmail all of a sudden stopped working...the sendmial is supposed to send to another machine. Check /var/log/maillog on both boxes, you should see a log message on the origin machine and the onward machine of the form (I've replaced actual names with CAPS) Feb 25 10:37:32 SERVER1 sm-mta[74139]: q1OIevSE033413-MSGID: to=<i...@domain.com> <mailto:i...@domain.com> , delay=15:56:34, xdelay=00:01:15, mailer=esmtp, pri=2919788, relay=SOME.RELAY.

Check the logs on the 2nd server for the same message. Post extracts from both boxes if you need further help good luck Paul. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org" <mailto:freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org> -- ------------------------- Paul Macdonald IFDNRG Ltd Web and video hosting ------------------------- t: 0131 5548070 m: 07970339546 <<PLEASE NOTE NEW MOBILE<< e: p...@ifdnrg.com w: http://www.ifdnrg.com ------------------------- IFDNRG 40 Maritime Street Edinburgh EH6 6SA ------------------------- -- ------------------------- Paul Macdonald IFDNRG Ltd Web and video hosting ------------------------- t: 0131 5548070 m: 07970339546 <<PLEASE NOTE NEW MOBILE<< e: p...@ifdnrg.com w: http://www.ifdnrg.com ------------------------- IFDNRG 40 Maritime Street Edinburgh EH6 6SA ------------------------- _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
