postfix and simple local delivery problems

vargadanis · 08-28-2007, 08:57 AM

Hi!

I am trying to get postfix to work but it is not that simple.

Background: there is a domain provider, similar to dyndns.com . I have a registered account. The MX record of their system is pointing to my computer. What I have so far:
/etc/hostname:

Code:

               dani

/etc/hosts:

Code:

               192.168.0.119 danis.myip.hu danis
               127.0.0.1     localhost.localdomain localhost

/etc/resolv.conf

Code:

               search        theirnameserver.ext
               nameserver    123.123.123.123

The MX record is mail.danis.myip.hu.
My computer is behind a router but I forwarded all possible ports to the local computer. Eg: 53, 25, 143, 110, 80, 23, 22, 21
And what I am trying to do right now is only local delivery.
I have a debian Edgy core system installed, so not even the standard packages. I have postfix also installed. This is what I have in my main.cf file:

Code:

myorigin = $mydomain
mydestination = $myhostname localhost.$mydomain localhost $mydomain
myhostname = mail
mydomain = danis.myip.hu

mynetworks_style = host
mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8 192.168.0.0/24

relay_domains = $mydestination
relayhost = $mydomain

notify_classes = policy, protocol, resource, software

inet_interfaces = all

After restarting postfix I tried to send a mail to another user:
mail -s test dani@localhost (I was root)
Test
Ctrl+D
CC:
Enter

And nothing happens. :S
I chked the mail as the other user su - dani -> mail
So what are the things that I messed up? Pls help me

I would start by checking the mail logs in /var/log/.

The problem is solved now. I just grabbed a config from a website and modified a couple of things in it. The config right now is:

Quote:

myhostname = xxx.tld
alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases
alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases
myorigin = /etc/mailname
mydestination = /etc/postfix/local-host-names
relayhost =
mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8, 192.168.0.0/24
mailbox_command =
mailbox_size_limit = 0
recipient_delimiter = +
inet_interfaces = all
inet_protocols = all
smtpd_sasl_auth_enable = yes
smtpd_sasl_security_options = noanonymous
broken_sasl_auth_clients = yes
smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_sasl_authenticated,permit_mynetworks,reject_unauth_destination
smtpd_tls_auth_only = no
smtp_use_tls = yes
smtp_tls_note_starttls_offer = yes
smtpd_tls_CAfile = /etc/postfix/ssl/cacert.pem
smtpd_tls_loglevel = 1
smtpd_tls_received_header = yes
smtpd_tls_session_cache_timeout = 3600s
tls_random_source = dev:/dev/urandom
home_mailbox = Maildir/
virtual_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/virtusertable
