configure postfix to connect to remote smtp server
 
Try as I might I cant get postfix to send emails through an external email server (I can succesfully get client software to do it no trouble)
After following the howto at:
http://www.howtoforge.com/how-to-rel...postfix-server
I get 5.0.0 errors re:
Code:

I do have a password file and i did postmap it (there'd be different errors if i didnt anyhow right)

I get basically the same error no matter what smtpserver/username/password combination I use leading me to believe its my setup and not my username/password

Hi,
Does the log provide any more details? Does your ip listed in any RBL?

As far as block lists I get nothing on MXtoolbox but on RBL check I get:
Quote:
dnsbl.mags.net (127.0.0.5) dnsbl.mags.net

However I'm not sure if a single block list would cause it to ping from all the servers (I've tried three) with the same code 5.0.0

Here is the bounced email (produced I guess by postfix?? since its the same for any external server)
Code:
Reporting-MTA: dns; YYYmail.YYY.com
X-Postfix-Queue-ID: 13F0821437
X-Postfix-Sender: rfc822; XXX@YYY.com
Arrival-Date: Fri,  7 May 2010 08:08:50 +1200 (NZST)

Final-Recipient: rfc822; ZZZ@hotmail.com
Original-Recipient: rfc822;ZZZ@hotmail.com
Action: failed
Status: 5.0.0
Diagnostic-Code: X-Postfix; smtp.live.com

Sorted it After going through an example "corporate config file" I found that the following two lines fixed me right up I dont know which one was the answer but it must have been one or the other

mydestination = $mydomain, $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain
default_transport = smtp

Thanks for watching anyhow hope this helps the next person who had my problem

mrpurple 05-09-2010 03:40 PM
Just to be clear it was the:

default_transport = smtp

line that was the problem
why it was wrong (for me) in the how-to i used and why it doesnt appear in any other how-to ive seen i couldnt tell you.
