@John - thanks. Will post that output below. @Matt - SElinux disabled, iptables stopped, so I don't think that is the case.
Original post did have; " intet_interfaces = all which is the only thing I have found so far. " so I am not sure if something was omitted, or incorrect. @John, here is the output; alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases broken_sasl_auth_clients = yes command_directory = /usr/sbin config_directory = /etc/postfix daemon_directory = /usr/libexec/postfix debug_peer_level = 2 home_mailbox = Maildir/ html_directory = no inet_interfaces = localhost mail_owner = postfix mailq_path = /usr/bin/mailq.postfix manpage_directory = /usr/share/man mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, localhost mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8 newaliases_path = /usr/bin/newaliases.postfix queue_directory = /var/spool/postfix readme_directory = /usr/share/doc/postfix-2.3.3/README_FILES sample_directory = /usr/share/doc/postfix-2.3.3/samples sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail.postfix setgid_group = postdrop smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_mynetworks, permit_sasl_authenticated, reject_unauth_destination smtpd_sasl_auth_enable = yes smtpd_sasl_path = private/auth smtpd_sasl_type = dovecot unknown_local_recipient_reject_code = 550 virtual_alias_maps = mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-aliases.cf virtual_gid_maps = static:505 virtual_mailbox_base = /home/vmail virtual_mailbox_domains = mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-domains.cf virtual_mailbox_maps = mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-users.cf virtual_uid_maps = static:505 So is there anything obvious that I have incorrect? I thought maybe the mynetworks, but I believe that is for mail relaying. I am under some time issues which is why I am posting this which others may seem a basic how-to, but I am reading in parallel, testing, etc. so I do apologize for maybe a basic question. But thanks. @John - thanks. Will post that output below. @Matt - SElinux disabled, iptables stopped, so I don't think that is the case. @Reindi - What do I expect? Help from the user forum. I did post in the original post; " intet_interfaces = all which is the only thing I have found so far. " so if you noticed that was incorrect or you need to explicitly say what interfaces, I would have thought something like "to make it listen on other ports, make sure you have this or that added!" @John, here is the output; alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases broken_sasl_auth_clients = yes command_directory = /usr/sbin config_directory = /etc/postfix daemon_directory = /usr/libexec/postfix debug_peer_level = 2 home_mailbox = Maildir/ html_directory = no inet_interfaces = localhost mail_owner = postfix mailq_path = /usr/bin/mailq.postfix manpage_directory = /usr/share/man mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, localhost mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8 newaliases_path = /usr/bin/newaliases.postfix queue_directory = /var/spool/postfix readme_directory = /usr/share/doc/postfix-2.3.3/README_FILES sample_directory = /usr/share/doc/postfix-2.3.3/samples sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail.postfix setgid_group = postdrop smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_mynetworks, permit_sasl_authenticated, reject_unauth_destination smtpd_sasl_auth_enable = yes smtpd_sasl_path = private/auth smtpd_sasl_type = dovecot unknown_local_recipient_reject_code = 550 virtual_alias_maps = mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-aliases.cf virtual_gid_maps = static:505 virtual_mailbox_base = /home/vmail virtual_mailbox_domains = mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-domains.cf virtual_mailbox_maps = mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-users.cf virtual_uid_maps = static:505 So is there anything obvious that I have incorrect?
