Bleh. I think I am tired and making worse and worse mistakes. May be I need to make a step away for some time. :-(
I have made some change that I cannot find and have an error now I do not see or know the cause for. I made a Postfix instance for getting mail with Postscreen and recipient verify steps, and some of the recipient restrictions for smtpd. It is named 'pf-in'. I also made a Postfix instance for simple sending out mail. It is named 'pf-out'. The TLS is turned on to the 'Opportunistic' type with '= may' for both the instances. So I think it should use the TLS when it is available and be okay if not. On my laptop I send a test email. It sends to the 'pf-in' instance sendmail -i -f root -t <<EOF From: s...@srchdomain.com To: srcht...@clientdomain.com Subject: test test EOF I see the mail processing with Postscreen 'pf-in' Jan 29 19:01:08 srchsvr pf-in/postscreen[11780]: CONNECT from [XX.XX.XX.XX]:43942 to [YY.YY.YY.YY]:25 Jan 29 19:01:08 srchsvr pf-in/postscreen[11780]: WHITELISTED [XX.XX.XX.XX]:43942 Then next after the Postscreen PASS the mail goes to the internal smtpd on 'pf-in' Jan 29 19:01:08 srchsvr pf-in/smtpd[11781]: connect from unknown[XX.XX.XX.XX] Jan 29 19:01:08 srchsvr pf-in/smtpd[11781]: AB1E08F422: client=unknown[XX.XX.XX.XX] Jan 29 19:01:08 srchsvr pf-in/cleanup[11785]: AB1E08F422: message-id=<20150129190108.4200d40...@srchdell.srchdomain.com> Jan 29 19:01:08 srchsvr pf-in/smtpd[11781]: disconnect from unknown[XX.XX.XX.XX] And then into the queue and is send to the 'pf-out' instance Jan 29 19:01:08 srchsvr pf-in/qmgr[11632]: AB1E08F422: from=<r...@srchdomain.com>, size=536, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Jan 29 19:01:08 srchsvr pf-out/smtpd[11787]: connect from http://srchsvr.srchdomain.com[127.0.0.1] But now the log says Jan 29 19:01:08 srchsvr pf-in/smtp[11786]: AB1E08F422: to=<srcht...@clientdomain.com>, relay=127.0.0.1[127.0.0.1]:10026, delay=0.13, delays=0.11/0.01/0.02/0, dsn=4.7.0, status=deferred (TLS is required, but host 127.0.0.1[127.0.0.1] refused to start TLS: 454 4.7.0 TLS not available due to local problem) I think this says the problem is in the 'pf-out' instance but it is the 'pf-in' instance that hears it and says it in the log. I have been searching on the sentences "TLS is required" "refused to start TLS" "454 4.7.0" "TLS not available due to local problem" But only found some suggestions that the Certificate I use is not good. I know that it is since it uses okay in other applications. What idea can I try to fix for this crazy problem I have done myself? *S*
