next in thread | raw e-mail | index | archive | help
I'm at a loss as to where to look next. I'm running Postfix on my mail server and it accepts mail from everywhere (AFAIK) except my firewall. Both the mail server and firewall are running 4.4 FBSD. The firewall is using the default Sendmail. Postfix was built from ports about two weeks ago (I can't seem to locate the command to show the version). While I was building the firewall, my network was configured as such: ISP | | IP is DHCP | ADSL Modem/Router (provides DNS & NAT) | |192.168.1.1 | ----------------- | | Firewall Server 192.168.1.2 192.168.1.4 On the firewall, I setup an alias to forward all root mail to my account on the mail server. In this config, mail was passed correctly. Once the firewall was configured, I plugged in it's second network card and now my network layout is like this: ISP | | IP is DHCP | ADSL Modem/Router (still provides DNS & NAT) |192.168.10.1 | |192.168.10.2 Firewall | |192.168.1.2 | Server 192.168.1.4 But now mail is "refused" from the firewall as shown in this command: blacksheep# echo testing | sendmail -v Recipient names must be specified blacksheep# echo testing | sendmail -v drew@mykitchentable.net drew@mykitchentable.net... Connecting to blacklamb.mykitchentable.net. via esmtp And this entry in the firewall mail log: Oct 12 05:51:15 blacksheep sendmail[5877]: f9CCpEF05877: to=drew@mykitchentable.net, ctladdr=tomlinson_dr (1000/0), delay=00:00:01, xdelay=00:00:01, mailer=esmtp, pri=30008, relay=blacklamb.mykitchentable.net. [207.173.226.116], dsn=4.0.0,stat=Deferred: Connection refused by blacklamb.mykitchentable.net. However, blacklamb.mykitchentable.net is reachable from the firewall: blacksheep# ping blacklamb.mykitchentable.net PING blacklamb (192.168.1.4): 56 data bytes 64 bytes from 192.168.1.4: icmp_seq=0 ttl=64 time=1.335 ms Yet another interesting piece is that there are no corresponding entries in the mail log on the mail server. Thus I wonder where the firewall is actually attempting to send my mail? What can I do next to track down this problem? I may have missed something pretty basic as all of this is new to me. So please feel free to point out that which may be obvious to most.
