once you made the telnet connection to port 25, try manually sending mail helo blacksheep mail from: drew@mykitchentable.net rcpt to: valid_user_on_system data this is a test . quit you should get a 220 response at connection, a 250 reponse for most commands, a 354 response for "data", and a 221 response at termination if that works check in /var/mail/ to see if mail ended up in the mailbox did you make sure that root is aliased to a valid user? check /usr/local/etc/postfix/main.cf and make sure you've set it up properly. some things to look at: myhostname mydomain myorigin mydestination mynetworks alias_database try setting "disable_dns_lookups = yes" to eliminate it being a dns issue personally I'd run postfix on both boxes. -- John Brooks Email: john@stlbsd.org -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-isp@FreeBSD.ORG [mailto:owner-freebsd-isp@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of Drew Tomlinson Sent: Friday, October 12, 2001 1:40 PM To: john@day-light.com; isp@freebsd.org Subject: Re: Bad Network Config? - Mail Refused ---- Original Message ----- From: "John Brooks" <john@day-light.com> To: <isp@freebsd.org> Sent: Friday, October 12, 2001 10:54 AM Subject: RE: Bad Network Config? - Mail Refused > did you try telneting from the firewall to port 25 on the server? that > should show you where things are breaking down No but now I have. :) That works fine. blacksheep# telnet blacklamb.mykitchentable.net 25 Trying 192.168.1.4... Connected to blacklamb. Escape character is '^]'. 220 blacklamb.mykitchentable.net ESMTP Postfix So I guess I have a config problem with Postfix? Any ideas where to look?
