Default Outgoing email problems
I have just recently setup a new server following the Prefect Setup guide for Fedora Core 5. I then installed ISPConfig per the intructions provided. I am able to recieve mail from outside and send mail internally. I just cannot send out to any other domains. When I try to send out I get an email back with
The following recipient(s) cannot be reached:
'service@advcomputers.com' on 8/2/2006 12:34 PM
550 <service@advcomputers.com>: Recipient address rejected: User unknown in local recipient table

Some of the other email I send to hotmail addresses never arrives and no messages come back.

My mail log file looks like this...

Any help with this problem would be great! I'm just not sure what I'm missing.

Thanks,

Please comment out these lines in your main.cf:

Code:
smtp_sasl_local_domain =
smtp_sasl_auth_enable = yes
smtp_sasl_security_options = noanonymous
and restart Postfix.

I tried what you said and when I send now without authentication the maillog shows this...

Aug 3 12:15:02 ns1 postfix/smtpd[8362]: connect from unknown[10.10.10.5]
Aug 3 12:15:02 ns1 postfix/smtpd[8362]: 8C2988345F4: client=unknown[10.10.10.5]
Aug 3 12:15:02 ns1 postfix/cleanup[8363]: 8C2988345F4: message-id=<44D22104.8000903@advcomputers.ca>
Aug 3 12:15:02 ns1 postfix/qmgr[8082]: 8C2988345F4: from=<scott@advcomputers.ca>, size=522, nrcpt=1 (queue active)
Aug 3 12:15:02 ns1 postfix/smtpd[8362]: disconnect from unknown[10.10.10.5]

but the email never goes through.

There is also alot of lines like the following....

Aug 3 12:19:48 ns1 postfix/smtp[8500]: fatal: specify a password table via the `smtp_sasl_password_maps' configuration parameter
Aug 3 12:19:48 ns1 postfix/smtp[8501]: fatal: specify a password table via the `smtp_sasl_password_maps' configuration parameter
Aug 3 12:19:49 ns1 postfix/master[8079]: warning: process /usr/libexec/postfix/smtp pid 8500 exit status 1
Aug 3 12:19:49 ns1 postfix/master[8079]: warning: /usr/libexec/postfix/smtp: bad command startup -- throttling
Aug 3 12:19:49 ns1 postfix/master[8079]: warning: process /usr/libexec/postfix/smtp pid 8501 exit status 1
Aug 3 12:19:49 ns1 postfix/master[8079]: warning: /usr/libexec/postfix/smtp: bad command startup -- throttling


Anything else I should be checking? Thanks again for helping!

I thought these messages would go with what I posted above... Anyway, I noticed a lot of directives in your main.cf that are not mentioned in the tutorial. Try to remove them.

I am also having very similar problems to this thread. My set up is running Fedora core 5 with Ispconfig v2.2.9. Installed as per howtoforge instructions.

I also can receive and send mail internally but not externally. This might be because my isp may be blocking port 25, but a few errors are showing in the mail log.

I think the problem may be because of the error.

postfix/qmgr[1972]: fatal: specify a password table via the 'smtp_sasl_password_maps'
The file 'smtp_sasl_password_maps' dosn't exist on my system or is this something that should be set up from ispconfig.

Many thanks in advance for any help you may be able to give.

PS I am new to linux and learning very quick lol

Shouldn't "mydestination" be commented out?

The current problem I am working on is connecting to the SMTP server via Thunderbird. But I don't want to jack this thread. I was just comparing my main.cf to the last one posted.

Please check that there is no white space in the string

Code:
reject _unauth_destination
that appears twice in the configuration file. It must be:

Code:
reject_unauth_destination

Thanks till, Im not sure why the white space is showing, as it isnt there in the original main.cf. Must have been added when I copied it over to the forum. Just in case it was a hidden character I have deleted the text and re entered it.

Still getting the same errors
