CentOS 7.9 problem with mail

Post by ssemla » 2023/10/04 16:12:27

Hello everyone! I have a problem with my CentOS. I need to send an email from the command line (mail) but when I try to do it I get a message “smtp-server: This IP [10.0.0.3] is blocked.” 10.0.0.3 is my local IP address. As far as I remember I use postfix. I have no idea what generates this message whether firewall or postfix itself because I did not find anything in the logs. Please help me where to look for the cause of this problem. On the firewall I have ports open in postfix it seems to me that it is also ok (I can log in telnet).

Start by updating from 7.4 which went out of support as soon as 7.5 was released in 2018-04-10. Your system is more than 5 years out of date and has numerous security problems that are known and abused by malicious actors.
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

CentOS 5 and 6 are deadest, do not use them.
