 |
|
I just got my router/gateway/firewall/mail server online. Replaced my redhat one with the gentoo one, also changing from sendmail to postfix.
Problem I'm having is I'm not receiving mail. I can send mail to my work email and get it. Vice-versa is not happening so far. I don't even see any notice in /var/log/mail/current about it trying to get there. I can telnet to port 25 on the box from my work machine, so I know the firewall is allowing traffic in. My MX record hasn't changed on the DNS server so I'm sure that is good.
Domain is "seiler.us". Results of postconf -n are:
| Code: | colossus log # postconf -n
alias_database = hash:/etc/mail/aliases
alias_maps = hash:/etc/mail/aliases
command_directory = /usr/sbin
config_directory = /etc/postfix
daemon_directory = /usr/lib/postfix
debug_peer_level = 2
default_destination_concurrency_limit = 10
inet_interfaces = $myhostname, localhost
local_destination_concurrency_limit = 2
mail_owner = postfix
mail_spool_directory = /var/spool/mail
maps_rbl_domains = blackholes.mail-abuse.org relays.osirusoft.com sbl.spamhaus.org
mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, $mydomain, /etc/postfix/localdomains relayhost = $mydomain
mydomain = seiler.us
myhostname = colossus.lan.seiler.us
mynetworks = 172.16.30.0/24, 127.0.0.0/8
myorigin = $mydomain
queue_directory = /var/spool/postfix
smtpd_helo_restrictions = permit_mynetworks,reject_maps_rbl
virtual_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/virtusertable

If there is anything else you think I might be screwing up, let me know. As I said, /var/log/mail/current doesn't give any errors or any notification of mail being denied. It shows the activity of me sending mail out, but no indication that incoming attempts are even being made. |

Alright I commented out the line about my virtusertable and I can get mail now. When I did get my earlier emails rejected it was giving "User unknown" errors.
I probably don't know what postfix's virtusertable is supposed to look like. |

| Yeah I was just stupid and didn't research postfix's virtual user config format. Mail appears to be working now. |
