Thanks for your reply

http://www.postfix.org/MULTI_INSTANCE_README.html

A firewall blocking port 2525?

Jjanel 09-17-2016 04:02 AM
Maybe strace -p ..... (on the 2nd PID); also lsof!
Post diff of the 2 config files
Does -second work *IF run ALONE*? data_direcotry *MUST* be different!
*maybe* experiment with using port 225 (instead of 2525 [ms-v-worlds])
(telnet localhost 2525? ifconfig -a to check both ip's...)

harish-mn 09-17-2016 06:06 AM
I assigned the port 2525 in master.cf file on both postfix instance
there is two ip address
xx.xx.xx.96
xx.xx.xx.12

first postfix instance (xx.xx.xx.96) working fine
telnet xxxxxxxx.in 25

second postfix instance xx.xx.xx.12 not working
telnet info.xxxxxxxx.in 2525

here is config file of the both postfix
first one is xx.xx.xx.96
In main.cf file
queue_directory = /var/spool/postfix
myhostname = host.xxxxxxxx.in
mydomain = xxxxxxxx.in
myorigin = $mydomain

mynetworks = xx.xx.xx.96/28, 127.0.0.0/8

In master.cf file
xx.xx.xx.96:2525 inet n - n - - smtpd

second postfix
queue_directory = /var/spool/postfix-xx.xx.xx.12
myhostname = info.xxxxxxxx.in
mydomain = info.xxxxxxxx.in
myorigin = $mydomain
inet_interfaces = info.xxxxxxxx.in
mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, localhost, $mydomain
mynetworks = xx.xx.xx.12/28, 127.0.0.0/8

In master.cf file
xx.xx.xx.12:2525 inet n - n - - smtpd

postfix status
postfix/postfix-script: the Postfix mail system is running: PID: 958
postfix-xx.xx.xx.12/postfix-script: the Postfix mail system is running: PID: 1027

keefaz 09-17-2016 07:43 AM
For inet_interfaces setting, did you try using IP instead of hostname?
mydomain should be domain part of hostname (eg: thinkxxxx.xx)

harish-mn 09-17-2016 08:33 AM
i done which u mentioned still facing the same issues
in inet_interfaces setting
inet_interfaces = xx.xx.xx.12
mydomain = xxxxxxxx.in


telnet info.xxxxxxxx.in 2525
Trying xx.xx.xx.12...
telnet: connect to address xx.xx.xx.12: Connection refused

When you start the second postfix instance, you use: postfix -c /path/to/2nd_config_directory?
Permissions for the 2nd_config_directory are ok?

harish-mn 09-17-2016 11:50 AM
sorry am not getting

i gave the permissions to the both postfix instance

can you please explain briefly

keefaz 09-17-2016 12:08 PM
You have set a directory for the second postfix where you put its configuration files?

Also just wondering, xx.xxx.162.96 and xx.xxx.162.12 are public IPs, no? You own both?

keefaz 09-17-2016 12:40 PM
Maybe you should hide/mask your public ips (and mail addresses) on a forum, especially if running mail servers, we never know

So the postfix configuration directory for the 2nd server is /etc/postfix-xx.xxx.162.12
How did you start the 2nd server, like this?
postfix -c /etc/postfix-xx.xxx.162.12

harish-mn 09-17-2016 01:17 PM
Thanks for your suggestions keefaz

when i install the postfix by using yum install postfix

then its automatically postfix directory created in /etc/postfix and next i changed the some information in main.cf and master.cf
like this
myhostname = host.xxxxxxx.com
mydomain = xxxxx.com
myorigin = $mydomain
inet_interfaces = xxxxxx.com
mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, localhost, $mydomain
mynetworks = xx.xx.xx.96/28, 127.0.0.0/8

in master.cf
xx.xx.xx.96:2525 inet n - n - - smtpd

after that

cp -rp /etc/postfix /etc/postfix-xx.xx.xx.12

then another one folder(postfix-xx.xx.xx.12) are created in /etc

then i changed information in main.cf and master.cf


postfix -c /etc/postfix2 reload

keefaz 09-17-2016 02:59 PM
But /etc/postfix2 exists?
Did you try: postfix -c /etc/postfix-xx.xx.xx.12
Also did you try disabling the firewall just the time to test telnet info.x.x 2525

Jjanel 09-17-2016 07:07 PM
EDIT: sorry, I [Newbie] didn't see all the new posts when I wrote this,
so this may ALL be irrelevant.

Quote:
postfix/postfix-script: the Postfix mail system is running: PID: 19218

In master.cf file
xx.xx.xx.96:2525 inet n - n - - smtpd
Why is the first (...96) 'using' port 2525? Mistake?
(yet it responds to port 25) (try telnet ...12 25)

**I don't know postfix, so I don't know how master.cf works.

There also MIGHT be a basic netmask issue: (again, I'm not sure)
ifconfig says 255.255.255.0 which is not /28 (in postfix configS)
Post netstat -rn; netstat -nlp | grep 25

In addition to the [extreme] debugging technique of strace,
I'm wondering if there is a way to 'trace' the relevant net pkts...
(I assume all the telnet cmds are being run on the [postfix server] host itself...)

Jjanel 09-18-2016 02:29 AM
Now, nothing appears to be listening on 2525!
Check ( with ps -ax) to see that the second is running.
Then use strace -p ... to see what it's doing.

Can you try running *only* the second one (without the 1st running) & telnet to it
(both 25 and 2525)...

(I'm not sure how to tell if the netmask might be a problem; hopefully another LQ'er can comment on this. i.e., is the mynetworks.../28 ok?
Also, shouldn't the 1st's master.cf have 25, not 2525?)

By any chance, did you actually want/need all three eth0 to be /28?

@Jjanel, you're right on network mask, xx.xx.xx.96/28 excludes xx.xx.xx.96 from the IPs range, but next setting 127.0.0.0/8 allows it from local

@Jjanel

i was run the second instance with port 25 and 2525
still in telnet its shows connection refused

in second instance(main.cf)
my entry is
mynetworks = xx.xx.xx.12/28, 127.0.0.0/8


is this correct?

guys

both postfix instance working fine

here is the status
postfix/postfix-script: the Postfix mail system is running: PID: 10860
postfix-xx.xx.xx.12/postfix-script: the Postfix mail system is running: PID: 10943


i think this is port issues because in netstat -nlp| grep 25 its showing only one ip address port
i.e first ip address
second one is not showing

can you please tell me how to enable the port on selective ip address

keefaz 09-18-2016 09:07 AM
It's in master.cf file in /etc/postfix-xx.xx.xx.12
<IP>:<Port Number>

Could you change mynetworks in main.cf in /etc/postfix-xx.xx.xx.12
and keep only local subnet, just to test

mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8

harish-mn 09-18-2016 09:28 AM
i assigned the mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8 in main.cf in /etc/postfix-xx.xx.xx.12

but still its doent showing anything


[root@I ~]# netstat -nlp | grep 25
tcp 0 0 xx.xx.xx.96:25 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 11923/master
unix 2 [ ACC ] STREAM LISTENING 12562 1/systemd /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket


[root@I ~]# telnet info.xxxxx.in 25
Trying xx.xx.xx.12...
telnet: connect to address xx.xx.xx.12: Connection refused


how to restart the second postfix instance?
service postfix restart ..it will applied for only default postfix

keefaz 09-18-2016 09:49 AM
you can always start it manually (without service command)
# postfix -c /etc/postfix-xx.xx.xx.12

harish-mn 09-18-2016 09:55 AM
postfix -c /etc/postfix-xx.xx.xx.12


postfix-xx.xx.xx.12/postfix-script: error: unknown command: ''
postfix-xx.xx.xx.12/postfix-script: fatal: usage: postfix start (or stop, reload, abort, flush, check, status, set-permissions, upgrade-configuration)

keefaz 09-18-2016 11:33 AM
mmh, maybe: postfix -c /etc/postfix-xx.xx.xx.12 start

harish-mn 09-18-2016 01:08 PM
postfix -c /etc/postfix-xx.xx.xx.12 start
postfix-xx.xx.xx.12/postfix-script: fatal: the Postfix mail system is already running

keefaz 09-18-2016 04:24 PM
I thought you could get away with it, but no. I think you need to use the postmulti command to manage multiple postfix instances,
details are on the link I put on second post
