Migrating to a new server and decided I would switch to postfix. On my old
qmail server, I used validrcptto to drop emails not destines for the
virtual accts on our site.
I've read tutorials and the backscatter/local recipient pages and my
postfix is still sending out bounce message instead of jus
Argh...gmail and mailing lists. Sent this response directly to Benny
instead of the list, so here I go again:

As I'm migrating my site to a new server, my postfix/dovecot setup is
currently on the new server, while nginx (and squirrelmail) is on the old.
Since I can't use localhost:25 for smtp in Squirrel (since it's on another
server) I need to make sure I have postfix and SM correctly configured for

Thanks for the info. Got it set up.
You probably do not
About three days into my postfix/postgrey experience after migrating from
qmail. Enjoying it.
Of course, like a new dad, I'm sitting here watching the logs. For the last
two hours I've been getting "postfix/smtpd: lost connection after RSET from

Just curious if there are any config tools or analyzers that are able to
parse the config files/logs and make suggestions for tweaks or point out
holes, etc. Just thinking of a tool like the ones mysql has.
After yrs as a qmail user, I'm not 100% confident everything is in a "best
practices" state

Noticed a few of these in my logs:

I'm currently running postfix in two places. I have a fully functioning
postfix email server for my site's domain and at home I have postfix
installed to allow my home server to send alert messages.
The home server is relaying through my home ISP's smtp server, but the
messages get rejected by my

Just curious if anyone on the list has ever had issues with their postfix
server communicating with bell.net or their related sympatico.ca email
addresses?
I've been trying to send to a few but keep getting "421 Connection limit

I've seen this a few times with some companies. I'm expecting an email
from, say, example.com
They say it's bouncing. I check the logs and there's a RCPT 450 Sender

email.example.com, but that subdomain doesn't exist, can't be pinged

Sorry if this is OT. My hosting service is migrating our VPS to new
hardware. I plan to shut down postfix (it's just me and the missus) and
create a snapshot prior to the shutdown.

Hi,
Just looking for a pointer to a recommended tutorial on setting up Postfix
as a send only service to be able to send alert emails from a home server
like smartmontools drive warnings etc.
I have seen several tutorials that touch on this, but the part I'm not
clear on is the FQDN setting. It's

As some test suite recommendations might be harsher than what is practical
I thought I'd check with the people who actually work on Postfix.
1) some test sites say TLS 1.0 should be disabled for NIST compliance. Is
that recommended? What about 1.1?
2) is there a page that has up-to-date recommend

Food for thought from the co-author of OAuth and oEmbed. How easy would it
be for Postfix/Postscreen configs/docs to, say, refer to allow/deny lists?

The long story short is that due to dealing with family medical issues over
the past few years, my Combo web/postfix server is still on Ubuntu 14.04.
In a couple of months I will have some time to upgrade. Instead of risking
an in place upgrade, I am going to fire up a new droplet on Digitalocean,

Recently configured postfix to use the dovecot lda as I wanted to use
sieve. Got that working a few days ago but noticed that I wasn't getting
any emails to aliases. Checked the logs and saw messages like:

I apologize for cross-posting this here but a) the opendmarc list seems to
be very low volume and I'm wondering if a reader on this busier list has
come across this, b) not sure if the mechanism of internal emails and
testing is different than if postfix is sending externally and c) clutching
