Postfis smtp_generic_maps not working

English Network/Internet
#1

Hi all,

I have my own mailserver at home but it doesn’t work right now because my ISP doesn’t let me send mail directly and the relay host doesn’t work right now because it is a local domain. Now have I found the smtp_generic_maps in the postfix documentation. But I can’t get it to work.

I have the following line in my main.cf:

smtp_generic_maps=hash:/etc/postfix/smtp_map

And this is my smtp_map:

@Thijs-Desktop.lan  Thijs.Voncken@xs4all.nl

and this is my postfix log since last reload:

anyone any idea why this doesn’t work?

Looks like the SMTP server at xs4all.nl checks that the domain you provide in the HELO or EHLO command does really exist. You might have to configure postfix to send a domain that does exist, instead of a fictitious one such as blah-blah.lan.

I think you have to use the “generic” file, do not change it :wink:

smtp_generic_maps=hash:/etc/postfix/generic

And make any change there.

Remember to execute “postmap /etc/postfix/generic” after that.

mmm… that thing about the HELO can’t be it, I tested that via telnet. And about the don’t change generic thing, I added the whole line because it wasn’t there. But it’s not my version thats too low. I double checked that. On the other side I didn’t know u had to run postmap. I’ll do that and then report back in.

#5

Aaaaah really thanks guys. The postmap command fixed it :)lol! again… really thanks. My ISP had been complaining about my previous fix because then they got my cronjob mail rotfl!

#6

does anyone know how to mark this thread solved? I can’t find it. Or could a moderator please mark it solved.

#7

You can add the map to the list that will be automatically rehashed in /etc/sysconfig/postfix POSTFIX_MAP_LIST, providing POSTFIX_UPDATE_MAPS is yes. But this only works if you have not manually edited main.cf and only edit /etc/sysconfig/postfix (or use YaST only).

#8

mmm… won’t work then cuz I edited main.cf but i wanna mark this thread as solved, any idea how?

Kindly ask one of the moderators :wink: Users cannot change a thread.
