garrop Posted February 20, 2005 Report Share Posted February 20, 2005 (edited) Hi to everyone, I am trying to run my own mail server. Installed postfix with 10.1. Outbound emails work fine after I tunned the main.cf file. However, when I reply to my emails, this is what I get: -------------------------------------------- This is an automatically generated Delivery Status Notification THIS IS A WARNING MESSAGE ONLY. YOU DO NOT NEED TO RESEND YOUR MESSAGE. Delivery to the following recipient has been delayed: capncrunch@xxxxxxx.com Message will be retried for 2 more day(s) Technical details of temporary failure: TEMP_FAILURE: Could not initiate SMTP conversation with any hosts: [ruby.xxxxxxxx.com (1): Connection timed out] ----- Message header follows ----- Received: by 10.38.101.54 with SMTP id y54mr6104rnb; Sat, 12 Feb 2005 08:07:49 -0800 (PST) Received: by 10.38.97.27 with HTTP; Sat, 12 Feb 2005 08:07:49 -0800 (PST) Message-ID: <c7200bce050212080755700167@mail.gmail.com> Date: Sat, 12 Feb 2005 11:07:49 -0500 From: Richard <yyyyyyyyy@gmail.com> Reply-To: Richard <yyyyyyyyyyy@gmail.com> To: capncrunch@xxxxxxx.com Subject: Here it is Mime-Version: 1.0 -------------------------------------------------------------- I have opened the ports on my router and redirected them to my PC. My ISP claims they have not closed either 25 or 110. I have checked the postfix documetnation, but I have been unable to find any similar problems there. Can anybody help me? Many thanks.

Guest anon Posted February 20, 2005 Report Share Posted February 20, 2005 Check your firewall allows the ports. Check your config file and make sure the MTA is listening to your IP address and not just your local address (127.0.0.1) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garrop Posted February 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2005 Check your firewall allows the ports.Check your config file and make sure the MTA is listening to your IP address and not just your local address (127.0.0.1) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Sorry to ask again. I have checked my firewall and all ports are open. The problem must be in the conf file. In fact, I can not send email to local users. Although emails to outside peolple goes through ok, when sending email to local users all email stays on the mail queue I see with webmin. On the other hand, when sending mails from the outside, the sender gets the error: Technical details of permanent failure: TEMP_FAILURE: Could not initiate SMTP conversation with any hosts: I have configured the main.cf according to postfix.org, but I must have something wrong there. Any help would be extremely appreciated, for I have spent the whole evening trying to figure this out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aioshin Posted February 21, 2005 Report Share Posted February 21, 2005 maybe you can try to add this to your main.cf inet_interfaces = 192.168.1.1 127.0.0.1 #note: 192.168.1.1 - this should be ur local IP, so change this to whatever ur local IP and of course 127 is ur loopback mynetworks_style = host mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8 192.168.1.0/24 xxx.xxx.xxx.0/24 # xxx.xxx.xxx.0/24 assumes to be ur isp network Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the meantime, I found where the main problem was: A typo in the MX redirection at zoneedti.com (I have dynamic IP) Now the emails arrive ok, but they are not delivered to the local user. They instead are queued within the macine (I can see them at webmin / postfix / queue) So my big question is: why local email does not work. I include about what is going on: -------------------------------- Feb 21 20:01:17 webmaster postfix/pickup[24913]: 25980985D: uid=0 from=<root> Feb 21 20:01:17 webmaster postfix/cleanup[26867]: 25980985D: message-id=<20050221190117.25980985D@localhost> Feb 21 20:01:17 webmaster postfix/qmgr[25806]: 25980985D: from=<root@xxxxx.com>, size=2043, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Feb 21 20:04:24 webmaster postfix/smtpd[27023]: connect from webmail-out.tiscali.fr[213.36.80.105] Feb 21 20:04:24 webmaster postfix/smtpd[27023]: 562969853: client=webmail-out.tiscali.fr[213.36.80.105] Feb 21 20:04:24 webmaster postfix/cleanup[27024]: 562969853: message-id=<IC9ZBS$D7EA95D8178A7FF7DD67821615AEC27A@tiscali.fr> Feb 21 20:04:24 webmaster postfix/qmgr[25806]: 562969853: from=<jerry@libertysurf.fr>, size=1265, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Feb 21 20:04:47 webmaster postfix/smtpd[27023]: disconnect from webmail-out.tiscali.fr[213.36.80.105] ------------------------------- Many thanks in advance.
