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 debug_peer_level = 2 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 mydestination = mynetworks = 10.100.0.0/22, 100.100.100.128/25 myorigin = domain1.co.uk newaliases_path = /usr/bin/newaliases.postfix parent_domain_matches_subdomains = queue_directory = /var/spool/postfix readme_directory = /usr/share/doc/postfix-2.3.3/README_FILES relay_domains = domain1.co.uk, domain2.co.uk, domain3.co.uk sample_directory = /usr/share/doc/postfix-2.3.3/samples 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.
