I have set up two relay servers - relay1 and relay2
Relay1 or relay2 accepts the mail from clients and delivers it to the outside world.. What I actually want to do is this. >From client1 ------------> relay1 -------------->relay2 -----------> outside >world. To make this work, I added relayhost = relay2.x.x.x to relay1 main.cf file. In other words, the mail sent from client first goes to relay1, then relay1 delievers to relay2 and then relay2 should deliver the mail When I try the above configuration, the relay1 servers /var/log/syslog has this error ep 12 17:18:02 rwns01 postfix/smtpd[10002]: [ID 197553 mail.info] connect from xxx.ecorp.gymboree.com[x.x.x.x] Sep 12 17:18:02 rwns01 postfix/smtpd[10002]: [ID 197553 mail.info] AADC138B5: client=xxx.ecorp.gymboree.com[x.x.x.x] Sep 12 17:18:02 rwns01 postfix/cleanup[10008]: [ID 197553 mail.info] AADC138B5: message-id=<[EMAIL PROTECTED] mboree.com> Sep 12 17:18:02 rwns01 postfix/qmgr[9986]: [ID 197553 mail.info] AADC138B5: from=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, size=585, nrcpt=1 (queue ac tive) Sep 12 17:18:02 rwns01 postfix/smtpd[10002]: [ID 197553 mail.info] disconnect from xxx.ecorp.gymboree.com[x.x.x.x] Sep 12 17:18:02 rwns01 postfix/smtp[10010]: [ID 947731 mail.warning] warning: host relay2.ecorp.gymboree.com[y.y.y.y] greeted me wit h my own hostname gymboree.com Sep 12 17:18:02 rwns01 postfix/smtp[10010]: [ID 947731 mail.warning] warning: host relay2.ecorp.gymboree.com[y.y.y.y] replied to HEL O/EHLO with my own hostname gymboree.com Sep 12 17:18:02 rwns01 postfix/smtp[10010]: [ID 197553 mail.info] AADC138B5: to=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, relay=relay2.ecorp.gymboree.com[ y.y.y.y], delay=0, status=bounced (mail for relay2.ecorp.gymboree.com loops back to myself) Sep 12 17:18:02 rwns01 postfix/cleanup[10008]: [ID 197553 mail.info] D928938B8: message-id=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sep 12 17:18:02 rwns01 postfix/qmgr[9986]: [ID 197553 mail.info] D928938B8: from=<>, size=2237, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Sep 12 17:18:02 rwns01 postfix/qmgr[9986]: [ID 197553 mail.info] AADC138B5: removed Sep 12 17:18:02 rwns01 postfix/smtp[10010]: [ID 947731 mail.warning] warning: host relay2.ecorp.gymboree.com[y.y.y.y] greeted me wit h my own hostname gymboree.com Sep 12 17:18:02 rwns01 postfix/smtp[10010]: [ID 947731 mail.warning] warning: host relay2.ecorp.gymboree.com[y.y.y.y] replied to HEL O/EHLO with my own hostname gymboree.com Sep 12 17:18:02 rwns01 postfix/smtp[10010]: [ID 197553 mail.info] D928938B8: to=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, relay=relay2.ecorp.gymboree. com[y.y.y.y], delay=0, status=bounced (mail for relay2.ecorp.gymboree.com loops back to myself) Sep 12 17:18:02 rwns01 postfix/qmgr[9986]: [ID 197553 mail.info] D928938B8: removed Any assistance is greatly appreciated.
