Hello All,
I have two questions as follows:
1. I have set up the postfix server as follows:
postconf -n
command_directory = /usr/sbin
config_directory = /etc/postfix
daemon_directory = /usr/libexec/postfix
debug_peer_level = 2
inet_interfaces = all
mail_owner = postfix
mailq_path = /usr/bin/mailq
manpage_directory = /usr/share/man
mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, $mydomain,
mail.$mydomain, www.$mydomain, ftp.$mydomain,
mail.isinglive.co.uk, localhost.isinglive, isinglive, www.isinglive,
ftp.isinglive
mydomain_fallback = localhost
myhostname = mail.cantoenvivo.es
mynetworks_style = host
myorigin = $mydomain
newaliases_path = /usr/bin/newaliases
queue_directory = /private/var/spool/postfix
readme_directory = /usr/share/doc/postfix
sample_directory = /usr/share/doc/postfix/examples
sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail
setgid_group = postdrop
unknown_local_recipient_reject_code = 550
No problem with incoming or outgoing email so far for cantoenvivo.
However, I can send email from isinglive.co.uk but cannot receive
incoming email.
mail.log shows:-
Aug 19 11:29:43 rosario postfix/qmgr[19865]: 0922425A665:
from=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, size=588, nrcpt=1 (queue active)
Aug 19 11:29:43 rosario postfix/smtp[20824]: 0922425A665:
to=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, relay=none, delay=170615,
status=deferred (connect to isinglive.co.uk[80.189.101.120]: Connection
refused)
Port 25 is open and is working for cantoenvivo.
Question 1?
Does mail.log mean that my isp is not allowing isinglive traffic
through my static ip?
the log says your postfix cannot connect to 80.189.101.120 port 25. it
doesn't say why. it may be your ISP. it may be a firewall. it may be a
blacklisting, ... etc.
If so, where can I get a static ip independent of my isp?
what do you mean by "get"? you can "get" whatever IP you want among the
2^32 possible values. it just takes something like
# ifconfig ex0 192.0.2.3
Unfortunately, you can only use IPs that are routed back to you, and for
that you (probably) need a network provider (or you can hijack an unused
network, or you can attack routers, ...). so if your ISP blocks your
traffic, you'll need to find another ISP or route your smtp traffic
through a relay (that of your ISP or an external one).
Question 2?
I added some aliases to .../posttix/alias file for isinglive, some of
which are the same for cantoenvivo e.g. "admin: cantoenvivo" and "admin:
isinglive". When it acme to updating aliases.db with the post "aliases"
command. I recieved the following error warning:
postalias: warning: /etc/postfix/aliases.db: duplicate entry: "admin"
Can I not use the same alias mapped to different domains?
all domains in mydestination are equivalent. if you want different
domains, then use virtual_alias_maps.
Is a valid
alis for one domain also valid for the other(s)? How can i configure
the same alias for separate domains.
Thank you in advance for your help - I hope I have been clear.
Best regards
Rupert
