postfix relay

[westconn]

i have been trying to get the relay to work if i send out emails, but so far have managed to break it now i get no incoming emails at all, though that was working before, i still want to get the relay to work, so some users can send emails outside of the domain, but it is more important to get incoming emails working first

at one stage i was able to connect, but i don't think it was authenticating

Code: Select all

> postconf -n
alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases
alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases
broken_sasl_auth_clients = yes

postconf: warning: /etc/postfix/master.cf: unused parameter: contnet_filter=spamassassin

i changed the domain name
i am sure you probably need more information, please advise what to post

the other issue with the relay is the server connection has port 25 blocked outgoing, so i need emails not to my domain to relay on a different port 587? if i ever get it working

Im no expert but I did find this link helpful when setting up postfix to forward emails to my business account. I used it to setup daily notices for maintenance on servers.

i seem to have at least got the mail back to where it was before, that is i can at least receive incoming emails again, just have to contact those who were bounced to resend

seems like somehow i had copied the smptd recipient restriction to the sender restrictions, i have no idea how i managed that
i will look at the relaying again when i get caught up, from the time i spent on getting this far

Hope it helped.
