Ben Munat:
main.cf:inet_interfaces = 64.69.38.41,127.0.0.1
and I hook up the main smtp process in master.cf like this:
master.cf: -o smtp_bind_address=64.69.38.41
This works only on the SMTP CLIENT. Not the SMTP SERVER.
And apparently it wasn't affecting all smtp client processes. Ben, make sure
the entry for -o smtp_bind_address is no longer in master.cf, and add to
/etc/postfix/main.cf
smtp_bind_address = 64.69.38.41
Now execute /etc/init.d/postfix restart (or whatever script your system uses)
Thanks very much Stan. I think that has fixed it...
Ben
Putting this in main.cf will cause it to affect _all_ outbound smtp
connections. It would seem your previous setting in master.cf was not
configured properly to affect all smtp processes. Or you forgot to restart
Postfix after adding the setting to master.cf. Anyway, it's better to set
this, in your case, in main.cf. See:
http://www.postfix.org/postconf.5.html#smtp_bind_address
And the following ifconfig output you provided me explains why outbound smtp
connections were occurring on 64.69.38.45. Truth be told, outbound smtp
connections were probably occurring on all your configured IPv4 interfaces but
you just didn't know it because only those sent out on *.45 are being rejected
or bounced:
