Okay, so last week I posted an issue about the above with lots of errors
and it turns out I hadn't generated the relevant .db files, along with a
couple of other problems. So, I sorted all that out and fired up
postfix, checked that the server was listening on port 25 and then tried
to telnet:

Connecting To 10.100.1.1...Could not open connection to the host, on
port 25: Connect failed


Then tried to send a test message using blat from another machine:

Blat v2.6.2 w/GSS encryption (build : Feb 25 2007 12:06:19)

unexpected error 10065 from winsock
Error: Can't connect to server (timed out if winsock.dll error 10060)


I checked /var/log/secure and found no record of the connection being
dumped; messages contained nothing, nor did maillog tell me anything
useful.

Oct 13 09:56:17 server postfix/postfix-script: starting the Postfix mail
system
Oct 13 09:56:17 server postfix/master[30342]: daemon started -- version
2.3.3, configuration /etc/postfix

Nothing further is listed and the master service is running. I ran a
postfix -check but this gave no output nor appended anything to the log.

I tried loading postfix with -v and -vv, but nothing leapt out at me,
not that I understood much of what it was showing.

/usr/sbin/postconf -n shows:

alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases
alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases
command_directory = /usr/sbin
config_directory = /etc/postfix
daemon_directory = /usr/libexec/postfix

html_directory = no
inet_interfaces = all
local_recipient_maps =
local_transport = error:local mail delivery is disabled
mail_owner = postfix
mailq_path = /usr/bin/mailq.postfix
manpage_directory = /usr/share/man

sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail.postfix
setgid_group = postdrop
unknown_local_recipient_reject_code = 550
virtual_alias_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/virtual

(ignore the lack of a relay_recipient_map, it's coming, swear to God :P)

I've tried to fix this myself, but unfortunately with the lack of log
information I have been able to find I'm not sure where to go.
