Hello,

I am trying to set up a new system for a new list but finding that outgoing mail is failing.

The setup I have is FreeBSD 10.3 in a jail with localhost at 10.0.250.37. I have confirmed that routing in and out of the jail are correct by sending mail from it via command line, via telnet, and by posting to a newly created list. Unfortunately those messages are not relayed out, nor are list invitations.

The system is Mailman 2.1.21, Postfix 3.1.0, and Python 2.7.11.

I see this in logs/smtp-failure:

Apr 20 23:07:27 2016 (19197) Low level smtp error: [Errno 61] Connection refused, msgid: <mailman.0.1461205537.18941.c2-l...@lists.my.domain> Apr 20 23:07:27 2016 (19197) delivery to my@email.address failed with code -1: [Errno 61] Connection refused Apr 20 23:07:27 2016 (19197) Low level smtp error: [Errno 61] Connection refused, msgid: <mailman.0.1461205853.19010.c2-l...@lists.my.domain> Apr 20 23:07:27 2016 (19197) delivery to my@email.address ailed with code -1: [Errno 61] Connection refused Apr 20 23:07:27 2016 (19197) Low level smtp error: [Errno 61] Connection refused, msgid: <mailman.0.1461206277.19201.c2-l...@lists.my.domain> Apr 20 23:07:27 2016 (19197) delivery to my@email.address failed with code -1: [Errno 61] Connection refused Apr 20 23:07:27 2016 (19197) Low level smtp error: [Errno 61] Connection refused, msgid: <mailman.0.1461207076.19195.mail...@lists.my.domain> Apr 20 23:07:27 2016 (19197) delivery to my@email.address failed with code -1: [Errno 61] Connection refused

Nothing shows up in Postfix logs for these refused connections.

And lots of lines that look like this in logs/post:
Apr 20 23:07:26 2016 (19197) post to c2-list from c2-list-boun...@lists.my.domain, size=583, message-id=<mailman.0.1461205085.18509.c2-l...@lists.my.domain>, 1 failures


Scanning Google I saw issues where there were errors in /etc/hosts. That file is world-readable and there is a correct entry for localhost. I have also confirmed that Postfix is listening on 25 on localhost using telnet and sockstat:

# telnet localhost 25
Trying 10.0.250.37...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 lists.my.domain ESMTP Postfix

The above works for root and for a non-root user.

# sockstat | grep 25
postfix  smtpd      19679 6  tcp4   10.0.250.37:25        *:*
root     master     19170 13 tcp4   10.0.250.37:25        *:*

I'm at a loss as to where to look next. Thanks for any input.
