Hi all
I've installed a postfix mail server in my ubuntu server and it's work fine for localhost, I mean when I issue:
Code:
telnet localhost 25
on the server shell, it do great. while when I come to do telnet from a remote client,
Code:
telnet server_ip 25
it connects for a wile and without prompting the postfix output, it falls to disconnect.
even I do the telnet server_ip 25 in the server shell and it fails the same way.
here is my main.cf contents:
Code:
# See /usr/share/postfix/main.cf.dist for a commented, more complete version
# Debian specific: Specifying a file name will cause the first
# line of that file to be used as the name. The Debian default
# is /etc/mailname.
#myorigin = /etc/mailname
smtpd_banner = $myhostname ESMTP $mail_name (Ubuntu)
biff = no
# appending .domain is the MUA's job.
append_dot_mydomain = no
# Uncomment the next line to generate "delayed mail" warnings
#delay_warning_time = 4h
readme_directory = no
# TLS parameters
smtpd_tls_cert_file=/etc/ssl/certs/ssl-cert-snakeoil.pem
smtpd_tls_key_file=/etc/ssl/private/ssl-cert-snakeoil.key
smtpd_use_tls=no
smtpd_tls_session_cache_database = btree:${data_directory}/smtpd_scache
smtp_tls_session_cache_database = btree:${data_directory}/smtp_scache
# See /usr/share/doc/postfix/TLS_README.gz in the postfix-doc package for
# information on enabling SSL in the smtp client.
myhostname = some_domain_name.com
alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases
alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases
myorigin = /etc/mailname
mydestination = some_domain_name.com, localhost
relayhost =
mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8 [::ffff:127.0.0.0]/104 [::1]/128 the_server_ip/24
mailbox_size_limit = 0
recipient_delimiter = +
inet_interfaces = all
#
# I added For virtual mailbox and users
#
virtual_mailbox_domains = /etc/postfix/vhosts
virtual_mailbox_base = /home/vmail
virtual_mailbox_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/vmaps
virtual_minimum_uid = 1000
virtual_uid_maps = static:5000
virtual_gid_maps = static:5000
inet_protocols = all
as you know some_domain_name.com and the_server_ip are changed for security stuff.
As I get in the internet, people are just taking care of the
Code:
inet_interfaces = all
and
for making postfix do on remote case, but I think mine is good. and besides my iptables is not seem to be the cause, I made them pass every thing and after telnet I connects for a while,
and the netstat output shows me:
it means postfix is not bound to 127.0.0.1 only
and finaly my postfix version is:
Code:
mail_version = 2.7.0
I don't know what to do more, so for the love of god, any ideas ??!!!!!!????????
