Internal Email

[Michael Coulton]

Hello
1st let me thank Burkhard Ott for all his help on a previous post of mine. What I'd now like to be able to do is send an email from postfix to an internal email server. Can someone guide me through how I would set this up? Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.

Here is the info:

Ubuntu Server Host File:
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.1.1 PBX1
192.168.2.3 mail.azlan.ca
192.168.2.3 ***@azlan.ca


Postfix = 192.168.2.2
Postfix hostname = PBX1
Internal Email Server = 192.168.2.3
FQDN = azlan.ca
sending email to ***@azlan.ca

I've set up a transport file and a transport.db because I read somewhere that I can have an entry of "azlan.ca smtp: 192.168.2.3" and this will force all outgoing mail to the email server. Current the file has a lone entry of "***@azlan.ca 192.268.2.3". I don't think this is correct based on the error log below.

I've tried lots of different configurations and this is my current main.cf

smtpd_relay_restrictions = permit_mynetworks permit_sasl_authenticated defer_unauth_destination
transport_maps = hash:/etc/potfix/transport
myhostname = mail.azlan.ca
alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases
alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases
myorigin = azlan.ca
mydestination = 192.168.2.3, PBX1, localhost.localdomain, localhost
relayhost =
mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8 [::ffff:127.0.0.0]/104 [::1]/128 192.168.2.0/254
mailbox_size_limit = 0
recipient_delimiter = +
inet_interfaces = all
smtp_sasl_auth_enable = yes
smtp_sasl_security_options = noanonymous
smtp_sasl_password_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/sasl_passwd
smtp_use_tls = yes
smtp_tls_CAfile = /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt
smtp_destination_recipient_limit = 1024
inet_protocols = all

Have you done a postmap /etc/potfix/transport?
If not do that and exec a postfix reload, after that it shoudl work.

Yes, I've created a transport file and the .db but I seem to get an error message. I've tried two addresses listed below. BTW I gave up on the relaying to rogers.com because it was becoming too difficult.

You could try /etc/postfix/transport instead of potfix :).

Why is it complicated with roger, sure crappy service, but it's not
complicated. If you need to authenticate there see: http://
www.clearfoundation.com/docs/howtos/smtp_authentication_to_isp
Was the first hit via google.

Hello
Yea.... I found "potfix" and changed it to "postfix", recreated the transport.db file, reloaded postfix and now get the following error:

status=deferred (mail transport unavailable)

Is this a permissions failure?
Thanks

[Burkhard Ott]

status=deferred (mail transport unavailable)
Is this a permissions failure?

Can you post a few more lines from the log? Deffered is usually only a
temp. issue, there is still something not correct.

You still have an issue in main.cf or master (if configured vi master).
Did you setup transport_maps = /etc/postfix/transport ?
What do you have in transport, sould look like "azlan.ca
smtp:192.168.2.3".

Hello
The smtp is listening on port 465 and I want to keep it that way so that I can send out going messages. So I've change my transport file to be:
azlan.ca smtp:[192.168.2.3]:465

Hello The smtp is listening on port 465 and I want to keep it that way
so that I can send out going messages. So I've change my transport file
azlan.ca smtp:[192.168.2.3]:465

Sure, then setup ssl on both sides.

You configured authentication, which is fine, however you need to setup
your authentication as well if you'd like to use it. Just defining a file
which doesn't exist won't help you.

Nov 1 10:45:49 PBX1 postfix/smtp[20197]: error: open database /etc/
postfix/sasl_passwd.db: No such file or directory

You didn't respond to my email I wrote you yesterday, let's try a
different way. Tell me what connection and what protocol(s) you'd like to
speak, I'll make you a config file you can use or not, up 2 you.

Don't want to offend you, but you really have to understand the basics if
you'd like to run a reliable service realitvly secure.

Sounds like a plan?

Hello The smtp is listening on port 465 and I want to keep it that way
so that I can send out going messages. So I've change my transport file
azlan.ca smtp:[192.168.2.3]:465

Sure, then setup ssl on both sides.
ov 1 10:45:49 PBX1 postfix/smtp[20197]: CLIENT wrappermode (port
smtps/465) is unimplemented
Nov 1 10:45:49 PBX1 postfix/smtp[20197]: instead, send to (port
submission/587) with STARTTLS

Hello
Hopefully I can answer your questions.
***@PBX1:~$ telnet 192.168.2.3 465
Trying 192.168.2.3...
Connected to 192.168.2.3.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 mail.azlan.ca FirstClass ESMTP Mail Server v11.0 ready

FirstClass is the email server (a product by OpenText).


"Tell me what connection and what protocol(s)"
Don't understand the question. TCP, UDP, SMTP, ESMTP
POP3 = port 995
SMTP = port 465



If you could make me a config file that would be terrific. Thanks for the help.

To be honest, throw away firstclass, install a linux (whatever flavor you
like), install an MTA, then I can help you.
if you'd like to stay with firstclass, they support their product so
please contat them (http://www.firstclass.com/Services/Support)

Hello
FirstClass does offer support to trial license versions. I know because I use to work there on the Voice Services side; not the messaging or collabrative side. Their product conforms to all open standards and I'm using it as a hobbist to send and receive mail through my ISP; the problamatic rogers.com.

I shouldn't be having issue's sending an email from the postfix MTA at 192.168.2.2 to my FirstClass server at 192.168.2.3. My understanding is that this should be a simple process, however I keep running into road blocks.
I've successfully send and received mail using FirstClass in the past through the rogers SMTP server. I'd like to stay with postfix as I've spent so much time working with it. A friend of mine uses "sendmail" through rogers.com and doesn't seem to have an issue. I'd like to stay loyal to "postfix" if I could. All I simply want to do is send email notification from 192.168.2.2 to ***@azlan.ca using "postfix". I don't care if the email stay's internal on my network or goes externally via rogers.com or google.com. All I know is that in 5 weeks none of these options has worked. All the reading I've done; all the help you've kindly provided; none it has managed to get one single piece of email from point A (192.168.2.2) to point B (192.168.2.3)!

So..... what settings do I need in my main.cf and master.cf in order for this to work?
Should I remove postfix and re-install it so that I can start from scratch?
You kindly offered to create a config file for me. What information do you need?
If my FC Server is using port 465, then I guess I need to create a sasl_passwrd and sasl_passwrd.db file?

If you don't wish to support this issue any more, then I can understand that. As always I really appreciate your very kind efforts.
Michael

No problem, then you should license the product, or use entirely open
source. I support open source on my spare time, which is quite limited. I
do not support any commercial software. Who knows if they setup iptable
rules and block the traffic, route it elsewehere.
Sorry, I can't help in that case.
