No I have not add my internal mail server to my hosts files that is why I was using the brackets. -----Original Message----- From: Martin Mielke [mailto:martinm@people-com.com] Sent: 29 September 2000 09:01 To: 'Steven Thompson'; SuSE security mailing list (E-mail) Subject: RE: [suse-security] Running Postfix on a firewall Hello, [snip]
If I understand this correctly you should do the following please correct me if I'm wrong.
/etc/postfix/main.cf: mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, $mydomain, relay_domains = transport_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/transport
/etc/postfix/transport: $mydomain smtp:[192.168.1.3] .$mydomain smtp:[192.168.1.3]
/etc/postfix/master.cf: #local
But when I set this up it does not seem to work. All tips wellcome.
is your SMTP-server in your /etc/hosts file?? Putting the IP between brackets tells the Postfix not to make DNS lookups... HTH, Martin
