Fail to ping

Hi chort,

Quote:

Why is your Postfix trying to connect to it's own external IP address? Something is very wrong with your Postfix config.

Sorry, I'm not quite clear of your question.

Here is /etc/postfix/main.cf

Code:

#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

# TLS parameters

smtpd_tls_key_file = /etc/postfix/ssl/smtpd.key
smtpd_use_tls = yes
smtpd_tls_session_cache_database = btree:${queue_directory}/smtpd_scache
smtp_tls_session_cache_database = btree:${queue_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 = server1.example.com

Code:

relayhost = satimis.homelinux.com

^^ That's wrong. It's trying to relay mail through itself. Just comment that line out.

Code:

myhostname = server1.example.com

^^ That should be satimis.homelinux.com

Code:

myorigin = /etc/mailname
mydestination = /etc/postfix/local-host-names

I've never used these settings with Postfix, but I suppose the first one should be your domain name, and the second should be a list of all your hostnames.

port 25 seems blocked by ISP including port 80

Is there any way to jump over this block? TIA

The dynamic domain registered with DYNDNS.ORG/COM seems not working. It is much easier to register a static free domain and update the IP on its website after the server up. IP address on server only changes on connection.

Edit: * * *

re your previous question on setting;
relayhost = satimis.homelinux.com

I followed following thread to set smarthost in order to get over ISP blocking on port 25

This is how I observed it, but I don’t know if it has something to do with your issue of not
beeing able to send mails outside.

Since you are simply riding with freeddns.com as "satimis", your domain shall be
"satimis.freeddns.com" and thus:

myhostname = mail.satimis.freeddns.com # and not satimis.freeddns.com

With your previous myhostname, and since you never specified mydomain as I have seen on
your postconf output without an entry for mydomain, it would take by default "freeddns.com"
(minus the host part) that would create trouble when mails are coming in since it might be
routed instead to freeddns.com.

Also,

mydomain = satimis.freeddns.com

Also add this to your mynetworks to allow your internal network block to relay

mynetworks = 127.0.0/8, 192.168.0.0/24 # if this is your case

Also just for the sake of further testing:

myorigin = $myhostname
# your originating mails would be seen as user@mail.satimis.freeddns.com
# if you prefer user@satimis.freeddns.com, change it to $mydomain

mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, localhost
# this has nothing to do with sending out mails but on receiving mails

If I did not forget anything else, this is the most basic settings to test a newly installed
Postfix.

Then edit your /etc/hosts:

127.0.0.1 localhost.satimis.freeddns.com localhost
192.168.0.x mail.satimis.freeddns.com mail

Then modify your previously set hostname:

In Slackware it is stored in /etc/HOSTNAME and in OpenBSD in /etc/myname that would now
contain "mail.satimis.freeddns.com". Then reload your new network settings by running
your appropriate startup script.

# ping mail.satimis.freeddns.com
# postfix reload

I can ping you from my node:

Outbound port 25/tcp is blocked. If you're not blocking it with your own firewall, then your ISP is. BTW your outbound port 80/tcp is not blocked, else you could not surf the web. I think you meant inbound port 80/tcp (means you cannot host an http server on the default port).

The only ways to get around an ISP blocking outbound mail are a) relay the mail through your ISP's mail server (set relayhost to their mail server), or relay though someone else's server (who doesn't have an ISP that filters) and do so on a different port. I cannot recall if Postfix allows you to change the destination port for outbound smtp connections.

Would it be postfix not properly configured?

Total elapsed testing time: 0.202 seconds

Solicited TCP Packets: RECEIVED (FAILED) — As detailed in the port report below, one or more of
your system's ports actively responded to our deliberate attempts to establish a connection. It
is generally possible to increase your system's security by hiding it from the probes of
potentially hostile hackers. Please see the details presented by the specific port links below,
as well as the various resources on this site, and in our extremely helpful and active user community.

Unsolicited Packets: PASSED — No Internet packets of any sort were received from your system as
a side-effect of our attempts to elicit some response from any of the ports listed above. Some
questionable personal security systems expose their users by attempting to "counter-probe the
prober", thus revealing themselves. But your system remained wisely silent. (Except for the fact
that not all of its ports are completely stealthed as shown below.)

Ping Reply: RECEIVED (FAILED) — Your system REPLIED to our Ping (ICMP Echo) requests, making it
visible on the Internet. Most personal firewalls can be configured to block, drop, and ignore
such ping requests in order to better hide systems from hackers. This is highly recommended
since "Ping" is among the oldest and most common methods used to locate systems prior to further exploitation.

Check your /etc/resolv.conf. It should have a line like this on top to consult
first /etc/hosts before BIND if there is.

Just for the sake of clarification, did you already executed "newaliases" and
postmap /etc/postfix/virtusertable? Though postfix should complain about this
right the time you started her.

Open a new ssh console and tail -f /var/log/mail.log while you are reloading postfix
and telneting/quitting to/from it to see if an error will occur few seconds after. If so,
this indicates misconfiguration and postfix is specifically verbose about an error to give
hints to administrators working on problems.

Hi gani,

Tks for your advice.

I found it difficult getting on a page of this server in these 2 days. I noticed a mail advising a response on this thread arrived, several hours before. But I could not get onto this server.

Quote:

Check your /etc/resolv.conf. It should have a line like this on top to consult
first /etc/hosts before BIND if there is.

lookup file bind

$ cat /etc/resolv.conf

Code:

search com
nameserver 208.67.222.222
nameserver 208.67.220.220
#nameserver 204.11.126.131
#nameserver 64.125.134.133
#nameserver 64.125.134.132
#nameserver 208.185.179.218

Shall add that line? Tks

Quote:

relayhost = [mail.netvigator.com]

Noted with tks.

Your main.cf differs from mine. Maybe you are running FreeBSD and I'm running "Ubuntu"

Sorry I can't recall. Neither I found it on the notes taken download during installing this LAMP-server. What command to execute "newaliases"?

On the notes I found;

Code:

$ sudo postconf -e 'virtual_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/virtusertable'
$ sudo postmap /etc/postfix/virtusertable

have been run.

Whether you meant;
# cp /var/log/mail.log /var/log/mail.log.1

and wipe out the complete content of the file.

Then run;
# /etc/init.d/postfix restart

and

# telnet localhost 25
etc.

Tks

Remark:
mail.err is an empty file

>> search com
>> nameserver 208.67.222.222
>> nameserver 208.67.220.220

That's why you're having an error from gethostbyname() function call and this could be contributing for
postfix since postfix will refuse to work properly if she can't reoslve her own hostname.

This what your postfix is telling us that might be related to this:

mail postfix/local[6008]: fatal: gethostbyname: Success

>> Shall add that line? Tks

Without second thought, YES!
Remember that mail.satimis.freeddns.com is an internal host that we defined through /etc/hosts file to be
able for your system to resolve it properly. So 'file' is the first that postfix and your system will consult
when resolving hosts before it will consult through BIND server if you have. And 'file' is /etc/hosts and
and definitely your ISP's nameservers can't answer you for that.

/etc/resolv.conf

lookup file bind
nameserver 208.67.222.222
nameserver 208.67.220.220
search urns.yourdomain.com ns.otherdomain.com # if you have your own NS so usually this is not required

>> Your main.cf differs from mine. Maybe you are running FreeBSD and I'm running "Ubuntu"

Maybe your talking about master.cf?
NO. Just BSD-like, Slackware 10.2. Our only difference is that I've compiled everything from source.

Try to modify your master.cf accordingly one step at time while testing. That is what Postfix offers by
default that works without changing anything unless your adding other staff like amavisd-new, dkim-milter,
maildrop, etc, or chrooting postfix processes.

>> What command to execute "newaliases"?

$ which newaliases

Usually it is in /usr/sbin. So,

$ sudo newaliases

>> Whether you meant;
>> # cp /var/log/mail.log /var/log/mail.log.1

>> and wipe out the complete content of the file.

>> Then run;
>> # /etc/init.d/postfix restart
$ sudo tail -f /var/log/mail.log

Will immediately display the last 10 lines and show you interactively what's happening.

>> I found it difficult getting on a page of this server in these 2 days.

The same here starting last night.

Try to modify your master.cf accordingly one step at time while testing. That is what Postfix offers by
default that works without changing anything unless your adding other staff like amavisd-new, dkim-milter,
maildrop, etc, or chrooting postfix processes.

Sorry, I can't follow. Pls explain in more detail.

>> What command to execute "newaliases"?

$ which newaliases
Usually it is in /usr/sbin. So,
$ sudo newaliases

$ sudo newaliases

Delete "ubuntu" from /etc/hostname.

Code:

# echo "mail.satimis.freeddns.com" > /etc/hostname"

Also, open /etc/hosts and remove the line that says "ubuntu".

That will most likely fix your transport problem. Also, post the contents of your master.cf in addition to main.cf.

The ShieldsUp scan was meaningless. Your ISP is blocking outbound mail, what you scanned for was inbound connections.
