When attempting to check my postfix install by using telnet to send an email to an address outside my local network, I get a relay access denied error.
This is how I attempted to send an email
Code:
telnet my_server 25
helo my_server
mail from: me@my_server
rcpt to: me@gmail.com
[Code].....
distro = debian 5
when i tried to send to other domain, i will get "Relay access denied"
below are my configs
main.cf
Code:
# postconf -n
alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases
alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases
append_dot_mydomain = no
[Code].....
My postfix is ok with receiving emails but i can send mail to my domain only [URL] When I want to send to other domains i receive this error (in the maillog):
Quote:
postfix/smtpd[14172]: NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from 93-46-46-73.ip106.fastwebnet.it[93.46.46.73]: 554 5.7.1 <giannileggio@shoppeo.com>: Relay access denied; from=<info@sampledomain.com> to=<giannileggio@shoppeo.com> proto=ESMTP helo=<[36.234.52.97]>
it is the same via thunderbird or via telnet. This is my configuration
Quote:
alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases
alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases
broken_sasl_auth_clients = yes
command_directory = /usr/sbin

I used 'sampledomain' instead of my real domain
my server is Redhat as 5 + postfix +Dovecot .when i use smtp to send mail，it can't to send,the system return "relay access denied" ? This is my maini.cf
Code:
# Global Postfix configuration file. This file lists only a subset
# of all parameters. For the syntax, and for a complete parameter
# list, see the postconf(5) manual page (command: "man 5 postconf").

i have been working on setting up an email server over a ddns. All seems to be working (i can email me@my_ddns_domain.com to me@my_ddns_domain.com) except that when i try and send to another email address (some_other_me@other_host.com) i get the error "5.7.1 Relay access denied". The way i tested this is as follows:
Code:
me@my_ddns_domain:~/$ netcat my_ddns_domain.com 25
220 my_ddns_domain.com ESMTP Postfix (Ubuntu)
ehlo localhost
250-my_ddns_domain
250-PIPELINING
I was never confident with postfix, but used it for several years now on my own server. I even noted the exact config used. But my old server crashed and I have to build fast a news one and I don't receive mails anymore. Here is the log message when trying to send to me from gmail:
Jun 4 08:06:34 ks3095514 postfix/smtpd[4008]: connect from mail-pw0-f50.google.com[209.85.160.50]

Jun 4 08:06:35 ks3095514 postfix/smtpd[4008]: disconnect from mail-pw0-f50.google.com[209.85.160.50]
The main.cf file is the openSUSE default one (see below). Part of my problems seems to come from the reverse. I *could once* receive one test messsage to " ks3095514.kimsufi.com" (the default reverse/domain name) (below, commented out), but not for my own domain (dodin.org). Most of the time the only necessary lines are mydomain, myhostname, myorigin and mydestination, but this don't work anymore. New defaults??. local (from and to the server) mail works, root can send to jdd and I read it from home.
mydomain = dodin.org
inet_protocols = all
biff = no
mail_spool_directory = /var/mail
canonical_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/canonical

masquerade_exceptions = root .....
I just finish install & setup postfix & spamassasin. I can send & received email from my local area network. i already install webmail client & I can send received. When using my pda from outside my network I can received but I just can send email to my domain only. For other domain it's error relay access denied. Here my postfix configuration.

I have setup Internet and also added my ISP SMTP as a smarthost - either way I get the dreaded Relay Access Denied 5.7.1.
I am using DynDns as I do not have a static IP - not sure if this makes a difference?

I have setup my own home server . All the applications are working perfectly except one I can't send Emails. I check weda my smtp has any errors not welll I got this

I have not done the SMTP debug yet but just from basic troubleshooting, I think I know what the problem is. My mail server is rejecting my web server from sending mail due to 'relay access denied':
Code:
root@www:# telnet mail.domain.tld 25
Trying 211.113.101.135...
Connected to mail.domain.tld.

i have search for a long time regarding this matter but i couldn't found nothing.... The facts are like this:
1. I have a server on Ubuntu Linux 10.10 with the following modules installed:
- Webmin 1.530
- BIND DNS Server
- Fetchmail Retrieval
- Dovecot
- Postfix
- a domain (www.domain.com) - the website it's not hosted on my machine
What i did until now:
- establish a local mail network like user@testserver.local
- successfully installed and configure Fetchmail Retrieval. like: user@domain.com mapped to user@testserver.local
2. The problem: Sending an e-mail using a POP3 client like Outlook from an local account! If i use the local address and try to deliver a message outside my local network the following error is sent by System Administrator: Code: Your message did not reach some or all of the intended recipients.

I am running Postfix 2.6.1 on Suse 11.2, and am receiving an error message on my windows machine saying "Recipient address rejected: Relay access denied." If I login to my email on the local machine or via squirrelmail I have no problem sending mail. The output of postconf -n is as follows:

I currently have a postfix / dovecot server running on one ubuntu server with nullmailer relaying webmail on a different server. This is currently working except the mail server is rejecting incorrect addresses which results in the messages being stuck in the nullmailer queue on the webmail server. Is it possible to force postfix to accept and manage all relayed messages from webmail, or is it possible for the nullmailer to manage the bounced messages correctly?

I have a mail server running Postfix and the problem I'm running into is that when trying to send mail, I get a "relay access denied" error.Inside my main.cf, I did not specify 'smtpd_recipient_restrictions' so by default, the variable is:

I'm trying to setup postfix (or exim, I don't mind which), so I can move away my last remaining PC from Windows.I've tinkered with Postfix for good part of a month and I can get it to accept emails using SMTP and post them to a virtual mailbox based on MySQL tables. And it rejects mail addressed to local email addresses that it can't find in the table.
First question (or problem.) I've set up Postfix to relay email it cannot deliver locally such as is the case when you send out an email. My remote host requires authentication. How can I set this up?
Second question: I want to force my clients to use either AUTH, TLS or SSL, and not allow anonymous connections (to prevent an open relay server.) How do I set that up without interfering with the smarthost setting? The smarthost login is not one of my clients, it's a pre-determined login and password that is solely used for the email relaying aspect.
I have setup up an Opensuse as a simple we/application server.It handles requests for various things and will need to send out email on occasion for things like password reset requests, information / warnings etc. etc.This is a standard OPenSuse 11.x install with defaults so it comes with Postfix as the mta.I do not want a mail server I just want to send out via my clients mail server which is hosted exchange rackspace, which simply requires SMTP auth to do so.What would be the proper way to do this so ALL e-mail send from this machine, regardless of account like WWWRun or when logged in and sending from the command line has the same sender all the time.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI got a weird postfix setup question? This is a separate server to the one I posted about earlier today.
I need to setup a postfix server which will accept emails for local know address (full addresses) and deliver them straight to the users maildir.
Any unknown addresses (however for the same domain), needs to be relayed to another server.
This is a bit of a special setup as there is no fixed Internet connection to the server. So the plan is that local email get delivered straight away whilst emails to the same @domain, but that doesn't exist in the user tables get put in the hold queue and is later relayed to server number 2 when a connection is available.
I am using mysql to retrieve all my settings into postfix.
I would like to setup postfix to act as a relay for the outgoing mails of a couple of servers each serving it's own domain.The mails we are talking about are standard administrative emails like user registration, password reset request. The volume of those mails will naturally grow as the site grows. Which for me poses the problem that depending on the growth of the site you will sooner or later hit the quotas imposed by (my otherwise preferred) providers like GMail or smtp.com.
So what I need is a mail relay that will only accept mails from authenticated clients from hosts in its access list and relay their mail without restrictions. Is that possible with postfix? What has to be changed in the config and what are the pitfalls?
For about a week now I've been seeing mass attempts to relay through postfix and login to dovecot from the same 2 addresses, none are successful due to how postfix/dovecot are configured and I wouldn't be overly worried but my isp have picked up on it and are nagging at me
What ways do people go about just dropping connection attempts from offending addresses/ranges when stuff like that happens? An ideal thing would be something that detects repeated failed attempts from a host or range and subsequently ignore/ban them, perhaps for a specified length of time, something along the lines of denyhosts and fail2ban for ssh would be great Don't know if there's anything out there or just a plain tried and trusted method anyone might use for stuff like this, if not a hint on the most appropriate way to go about it 'manually' would do
I'm trying to use different MTA servers (one for each domain) on the same public IP and port (25). Here I attach a graphic of my idea, to have a Postfix server that receives all incoming mail from internet, and relays to different local servers. esquema_mta-dns.jpg How can be configured the "Relayer MTA" ?
