Hey folks,
I'm setting up a mail server using postfix, don't have a whole lot of
experience with it and so here's what I want to do.
I want Postfix to be a smarthost, with internal connections to use
SSL. Dovecot is my MDA as well. The relay host (smarthost) is my ISP,
and it does not require any authentication (no login). I've sent an
email successfully over a telnet session on port 25 and it works fine.
Also I've monitored my firewall and I can see the connection to my
ISP's mail server when attempting to send an email using postfix. But
the email never get's delivered so I assume it's something to do with
the relayhost authentication.
Perhaps the log of that delivery attempt will be useful to the diagnosis.
The firewall log I'm assuming you're talking about, just a very simple entry:
22:43:42 TCP 10.142.11.17:59763 -> 67.58.192.15:25 [SYN] len=60 ttl=63
tos=0x00 srcmac=__ dstmac=00:0c:29:12:42:12
(Passed)
I've looked through /var/log/mail.log,mail.err are there any others
logs for postfix that I should be looking at? (There's nothing in
those two)
If there's nothing in the mail.log file, then you haven't found the
correct file. At the very least you should have an entry for the
delivery attempt, regardless of whether or not it was successful.
