Unhappy Postfix send mail problem(In RH9, kernal 2.4.20, postfix 2.1.5)


Dear All,

I install a Postfix system for our users to send out e-mail from internal network to internet/outside and usually is working fine. But I got some bounce mail in sometimes, it's look like are as follow :


This is the Postfix program at host smtp01.domain.com.

I'm sorry to have to inform you that your message could not be
be delivered to one or more recipients. It's attached below.

For further assistance, please send mail to <postmaster>

If you do so, please include this problem report. You can
delete your own text from the attached returned message.

The Postfix program

<receiver@gmail.com>: host gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com[64.233.171.27] said: 250
2.1.5 OK (in reply to DATA command)


And I found the record on maillog are as follow :


Jul 7 19:21:55 smtp01 postfix/smtpd[882]: warning: dict_nis_init: NIS domain name not set - NIS lookups disabled
Jul 7 19:21:55 smtp01 postfix/smtpd[882]: connect from unknown[192.168.1.19]

Jul 7 19:21:58 smtp01 postfix/qmgr[9840]: 38415149683: removed


What happening on my smtp server(postfix)? And we have a firewall (Cisco PIX 515E) in front of smtp server(postfix), is it a firewall problem to cause the problem? Or our internet line problem? I'm really no idea on this case, I really need your reply!!! Many thanks!

250 means that the transmission was successful. I doubt that there is a problem in the log snippet you posted.

Postfix generally gives more detailed information about the failure in the body of the message, have you got that there? maybe post it.

Jessie1, welcome to LQ.
Please start a new thread after reading the How to ask a question link in my sig.

We’re happy to help if you get stuck, but you need to do some research on your own and show us what you’ve done that isn’t working.
