Hi i had to install a mail server for a firm with a leased line connection. Initially, perhaps due to some mis-configuration, it seems that the linux box was used as relay by spammers.
The extenal IP is on eth0 and internal class C is on eth1. It seems i have been able to stop relay. I use postfix on RH9. My problem is that one of the hosts to which we mail frequently sent mail has 'blocked' all mails from our domain. Some tech from the hosts side says that the blocking of mail has been IP based. I changed the external IP of our system to the next number ie xxx.xxx.xxx.14 to xxx.xxx.xxx.15. But still the mail to that domain gets bounced always. There is no problem with any other domains. How do i fix it? Should i contact the site for a fix? Also please look at the following 'main.cf' of postfix. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- myorigin = $mydomain inet_interfaces = all mynetworks_style = subnet relay_domains = $mydestination #local_recipient_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/recipients local_recipient_maps = masquerade_domains = $mydomain always_bcc = someuser smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_mynetworks reject_unauth_destination ----------------------------------------------------------------------- I kept local_recipient_maps blank as i was not able to access the port 25 (it was taking too much time to respond) when it was equated to hash:/etc/postfix/recipients. I kept a list of users in /etc/postfix/recipients Please help me out regards Nataraj ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials Free Linux tutorial presented by Daniel Robbins, President and CEO of GenToo technologies.
