Hello everyone.
I have a mail server running postfix. the server has man different ip's associated with it, and many domains pointing at it. As Im sure you all know, when the server gets a connection request, it responds with a greeting message. something along the lines of "220 cattlejobs.com ESMTP". I would like to have each greeting message sent have the domain name (in this case cattlejobs.com ) be tailored to match which ever IP the client is connecting to. Up until now, I have just been adding more lines to my /etc/postfix/master.cf file as shown below: 69.74.158.54:smtp inet n - - - - smtpd -o myhostname=cattlejobs.com 69.77.250.125:smtp inet n - - - - smtpd -o myhostname=cattlejobs.com 69.77.243.21:smtp inet n - - - - smtpd -o myhostname=cattlejobs.com 69.77.124.200:smtp inet n - - - - smtpd -o myhostname=cattlejobs.com It has worked well, but now I am trying to add lots of entries like this (2000+). Once I have much more than 300 entries I start to get an error fatal: pipe: Too many open files Can anyone suggest a different way to acheive this, or a work around to this problem? Thanks in advance, Steve.
