Postfix Question

[kkiedrowski]

I was wondering if someone coudl confirm this to me.
I set up post fix and tried to send out and email
this is what came bakc in the queue
connect to clmboh-01.mgw.rr.com[65.24.7.14]: server refused to talk to me: 550-clmboh-mx-13.mgw.rr.com 550 ERROR: Mail Refused - res.rr.com - See http://security.rr.com/rrDynamic.htm

Now of course this is because I do not have business class service.
This is however, leading me to beleive that I have it setup correctly since it did try to contact the server.

Sounds right or at least it's going out on port 25 :)

The 'easy' way around this is to direct postfix to send the mail through their SMTP server with your authentication.
In the /etc/postfix/main.cf

relayhost = smtp.server.com

or in the roadrunner case
If your email address is joe@tampabay.rr.com, your SMTP server is smtp-server.tampabay.rr.com.

And remember, you may have to register your mailserver with your ISP, some mail gets rejected if the recieving mail server cannot find your mail server address on your ISP list of legitimate servers with reverse DNS lookup.

nah, roadrunner doesn't require registration...
just make sure that the server name isn't "localhost.localdomain" ... use something from dyndns or the like...
