Hi
I installed courier 0.45-4 (the debian packaged
version) with courier-imap-ssl, authdaemon,
courier-mta and my favorite part, the webadmin
tool. My operating system is Debian 3.2 as installed
to the hard drive by Knoppix 3.4, using the 2.6 Linux
kernel.
I configured the use of Maildir with maildrop, and
everything is working fine, EXCEPT that no mail is
being delivered to the internet via my smart host.
contents of /etc/courier/esmtproutes:
: my.smart.host
also tried:
:[verified ip-address]
I CAN telnet to port 25 on my smart host via the dns
name or ip address no problem. If I manually send a
message, it gets delivered. They don't require
authentication, but I do.
As you can see, ownership and permissions are fine:
ls -l /etc/courier/esmtproutes
-rw-r--r-- 1 daemon daemon 18 Jun 16
11:33 /etc/courier/esmtproutes
mailq confirms that mail is queued.
Extract from mail log:

If I do
courier flush; ps ax | grep esmtp
then I get
7866 ? S 0:00 /usr/sbin/couriertcpd
-stderrlogger=/usr/sbin/courierlogger -noidentlookup
-nodnslookup -user=daemon -group=daemon
-access=/etc/courier/smtpaccess.dat -maxprocs=5
-maxperc=5 -maxperip=5
-pid=/var/run/courier/esmtpd.pid smtp

8044 ? R 0:00 courieresmtp 1 yahoo.co.uk
8046 pts/4 R+ 0:00 grep esmtp
It looks like couriersmtp is trying to send mail
directly to the target domain, which suggests that
esmtproutes is being ignored.
If I uninstall courier-esmtpd, and install Exim4, smtp
works fine. But I'd prefer to use
courier because of the webadmin tool the ease of
configuration for local mail delivery.
If I use tcpdump to watch my external interface while
I do a "courier flush", I don't seem to see any
traffic on port 25. I do see dns lookups taking place,
however.
Mr Sam has kindly and patiently been trying to assist
me, checking the obvious things, like the contents of
/etc/courier/esmtproutes and that I can telnet to port
25, but I'm still no closer to resolving this issue
than when I made my first post.
In the meantime, I think I'll whip up a nice vanilla
Knoppix 3.4 VM and install the courier debian packages
from scratch (just the base and the mta parts) to see
whether I can reproduce the problem. If that works, I
guess I'm in for a system rebuild.
However, if anyone feels they can save me the pain
because I merely didn't remove a comment somewhere in
a configuration file, please feel free to reply.
Thanks
