List,
Where do I begin? First was having no local mail delivery. I thought
I'd install Postfix. So I went to Derek Jennings web site. Nice, but I
just have a standalone machine with an ADSL connection. I read some of
the docs setup some aliases for root and no go. I no get mail. My log
files showed rejected messages and a running of the mailq command
provided the following:
742CE99E64 342 Thu May 27 01:01:00 [EMAIL PROTECTED]
(connect to myhouse.net[220.80.108.83]: Connection
refused)
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Anyway to get local mail I discovered that port 25 needed to be opened
on my firewall. So modified the shorewall rules file to permit a tcp
connection on port 25 to the fw and into the machine:
##############################################################################
#ACTION SOURCE DEST PROTO DEST SOURCE ORIGINAL RATE USER/
# PORT PORT(S) DEST LIMIT GROUP
ACCEPT net fw icmp 8
ACCEPT fw net icmp
ACCEPT net fw tcp 25
ACCEPT fw net tcp
#LAST LINE -- ADD YOUR ENTRIES BEFORE THIS ONE -- DO NOT REMOV
Hope this doesn't compromise my security?
Well.. I finally started getting mail from the terminal and into evo 1.4
after finally figuring out delivery was local by mbox or
/var/spool/mail/terryg. I still however get the above rejected messages
and have tried to look at postfix docs, but there is alot there and I'm
want to keep it simple right now. So how can I fix the rejected message
and get back to that notion that my postfix mailer works? I have
enclosed my /etc/postfix/main.cf file.
Thanks for reading,
Terry
