Ah, now I see. Thunderbird has no problem delivering mails to your local mailserver but the local mailserver itself can't send these mails outside your system.
have you tried to send mails to any other system? You could try to send an email to my address: suse-linux-e@japantest.homelinux.com.
I guess you have a problem not related to postfix but rather a general system setup problem.
- Is your Firewall turned on? Check yast -> security. - Can you ping the server? - Can you confirm that mx2.epicuria.be receives mails?

PS: Please send Mails only to the list.
You're right sandy ;) Yes i tried to send emails to other syustems and it fails too. My firewall is turned off ( i got a router with firewall buit-in ) I can ping mx2.epicuria.be without any problems And yes, it receives emails Thanx for your great help ;) -- Laurent Renard

I just tried to contact mx2.epicuria.be and had no problems. The command "telnet mx2.epicuria.be 25" returns: 220 leolargo.tempdomainname.com ESMTP Sendmail 8.13.1/8.12.6; Fri, 21 Jan 2005 13:15:17 +0100 (CET) quit 221 2.0.0 leolargo.tempdomainname.com closing connection If a telnet to port 25 of the remote system is not possible from your system, then postfix won't be able to send an email either. So, our next step to solving the mailproblem is to get the basic connection to work. After you can contact the remote mailserver we can check to see if postfix is working as it is supposed to. Sandy

Yes Sandy, my command : telnet mx2.epicuria.be 25 returns : Trying 204.200.196.67... and nothing else ... what kind of problem could it be ? I can access mx2.epicuria.be 25 with all my email clients but postfix cannot access it ?! -- Laurent Renard

The next line should show the connection: katgar:~ # telnet mx2.epicuria.be 25 Trying 204.200.196.67... Connected to mx2.epicuria.be. Escape character is '^]'. 220 leolargo.tempdomainname.com ESMTP Sendmail 8.13.1/8.12.6; Fri, 21 Jan 2005 17:46:40 +0100 (CET)
and nothing else ...
That is strange indeed. Your DNS seems to resolve the host to the correct ip address but is unable to receive the connection? What about pop3? katgar:~ # telnet mx2.epicuria.be 110 Trying 204.200.196.67... Connected to mx2.epicuria.be. Escape character is '^]'. +OK POP3 leolargo.tempdomainname.com 2004.87 server ready quit +OK Sayonara Connection closed by foreign host. katgar:~ # ping mx2.epicuria.be PING mx2.epicuria.be (204.200.196.67) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from leolargo.tempdomainname.com (204.200.196.67): icmp_seq=1 ttl=53 time=111 ms Is an icmp echo request with 'ping' really working?

Do you configure your email client on your mail server with mx2.epicuria.be as your smtp server and it works? This shouldn't be possible since the client is using the very same mechanism as we do with telnet on port 25. Sandy
