 Posted: Sun Jul 17, 2005 2:08 am Post subject: [Solved] Postfix not relaying mail to isp's smtp server. |
 |
|
I followed the guide "Email System for the Home Network" in the Documentation, tips and tricks forum and everything works great except i cant realy my mail to my isp. I can send email to local uses, recieve cron mail, and fetch mail from pop3 accounts but when i try to send and email it tries to send directly to the recipent. Heres all the config info from the send section of the guide.

Hi.
If you look at the default /etc/postfix/main.cf, you'll see the following info
| Code: | # INTERNET OR INTRANET
# The relayhost parameter specifies the default host to send mail to
# when no entry is matched in the optional transport(5) table. When
# no relayhost is given, mail is routed directly to the destination.
#
# On an intranet, specify the organizational domain name. If your
# internal DNS uses no MX records, specify the name of the intranet
# gateway host instead.
#
# In the case of SMTP, specify a domain, host, host:port, [host]:port,
# [address] or [address]:port; the form [host] turns off MX lookups.
#
# If you're connected via UUCP, see also the default_transport parameter.
#
#relayhost = $mydomain
#relayhost = [gateway.my.domain]
#relayhost = [mailserver.isp.tld]
#relayhost = uucphost
#relayhost = [an.ip.add.ress] |
So all that you have to do is add the relayhost parameter to your config file.

| I did try adding a relayhost, and it did try to go through my isp but my isp wants a username and password. For some reason postfix isnt reading /etc/postfix/saslpass. |

I've been reading /usr/share/doc/postfix-2.1.5-r2/readme/SASL_README and found out this
| Code: | Enabling SASL authentication in the Postfix SMTP client
Turn on client-side SASL authentication, and specify a table with per-host or
per-destination username and password information. Postfix first looks up the
server hostname; if no entry is found, then Postfix looks up the destination
domain name (usually, the right-hand part of an email address).
/etc/postfix/main.cf:
smtp_sasl_auth_enable = yes
smtp_sasl_password_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/sasl_passwd
/etc/postfix/sasl_passwd:
foo.com username:password
bar.com username |
Although it's similar to your post, I've noticed a small difference /etc/postfix/saslpasswd in your post and /etc/postfix/sasl_passwd in the file. Can you check your file name?

If it wasnt for the fact that Ssmtp doesnt deliver local mail. I would just switch back to that.

Are you sure that your credentials work? Can you connect to your smtp server and send mail? Have you tried configuring any of the email clients to send mail through your ISP smtp server? Did it work?
I would start debugging by trying to connect to the ISP smtp server. Then I would look at the SASL config. Finally I would try to see what's going back and forth between your server and your ISP smtp server. Try using tcpdump or ethereal for that.

Well, the first thing I've noticed is the detailed instructions for Windows n00bs! 
The second thing is that if I recall correctly their instructions for the login apply only to pop3. If you follow their instructions, you don't define in OE that you need to authenticate to send mail. Please check that by going to accounts and selecting the SMTP or send mail, I haven't used OE for months, and looking at the authentication info - it should be empty. If I'm right, they didn't tell you that you need to authenticate to send mail. You can try that with Postfix.
The third thing that I've noticed is that they only use plaintext authentication!  I still can't undestand how ISPs go happily along making money without the least care for people's privacy! I suppose that your ISP also provides an webmail service that either works only through HTTP or that doesn't mandate HTTPS, am I right? Returning to our discussion, that means that if you need to authenticate, clear that with the previous point, you'll have to tell SASL that you need basic authentication.

Im not sure whats going on i just emerged evolution and its not able to send email either. I sent my isp and email asking if they could help (probably not they dont care much for linux). I was looking around and found a few places that offer an alternate-smtp port service. Roller Network offers it for free and No-ip.com offers 150 emails aday for $20 a year. Ive used no-ip for years so ill probably go through them. Ill post back when and if i get an email from my isp.

Looks like your problem is this:

Postfix is getting timeouts connecting to smtp.suscom.net. Here's what happens when I try:
| Code: | $ telnet smtp.suscom.net 25
Trying 64.78.119.247...
Connected to smtp.suscom.net.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 ****************************************
quit
221 Bye
Connection closed by foreign host. |
Can you try just using telnet? That would eliminate some other variables. |

Thanks for the help! I figured it out. I called my isp's tech support and here to find out my wifes Xp desktop had a mass email virus and they blocked smtp to me completely. They said that every day for the last month or so that she was sending 249 emails aday. Then one day it sent 250 which is there cap and i got blocked. So everything is working great. Gentoo is about halfway installed on my wifes desktop so this won't happen again.
Thanks again for all the help
