i have a mail server set up and can successfully send mail using an email client aka thunderbird, im running postfix/courier-imap all the users are stored in a mysql db, i can recieve mail fine as well. im using apache and squirrelmail for my webmail. i have to use relayhost = mail.comcast.net in my postfix config so that my mail doesnt bounce, my ip is a DUL. when ever i send mail through SM i get timeouts when connecting to my ISP's mail server mail.comcast.net, on about 3 different ip addresses.
So then make sure you are going to the right IP and port combination and that their SMTP server does/doesn't require authentication. If it does, did you configure that in SM?
its my understanding that SM uses the same setup that the clients do, SM is running on the same server as the other services aka courier and postfix. so why can i send mail with a client and not with SM? i have SM setup to use localhost for both incoming and outgoing mail so it uses my servers settings.
I thought you just said you have SM pointing to your ISP's SMTP server??? If you are talking to postfix on the same machine, the above questions still apply, but you can also try using sendmail instead.
what can i provide for you to better assist me? i have been messing with this for almost 2 weeks have asked countless people and mailing lists with no resolve.
Mail log entries telling us why postfix doesn't like this.
here is my postconf -n if that helps:
mail root # postconf -n
alias_maps = mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-aliases.cf
command_directory = /usr/sbin
config_directory = /etc/postfix
daemon_directory = /usr/lib/postfix
debug_peer_level = 2

home_mailbox = .maildir/
html_directory = no

manpage_directory = /usr/share/man
mydestination = $myhostname, $mydomain, localhost.$mydomain, localhost
mydomain = computernick.com
myhostname = mail.computernick.com
mynetworks = 192.168.0.0/24, 127.0.0.0/8
myorigin = computernick.com

sample_directory = /etc/postfix
sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail
setgid_group = postdrop
smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_mynetworks, reject_unauth_destination
That's it for this one? Yikes. But I guess if this is behind your ISP, you have different needs?
