Running SuSE 10.0 on my server, I'm trying to see why my mobile phone isn't allowed to relay through it. However, having tried to clean my log files to make finding the test section easier, I seem to have stopped the logging process. Two tries at postfix reload have not resolved the issue and after about an hour, mail, mail.err, mail.warn and mail.info all remain empty.
Postfix is not logging to /var/log/mail itself, instead it is sending all log notifications to syslog. In other words: you need to restart syslog.
You probably need to set up smtp auth for Postfix to allow relaying from your mobile phone. Most of these devices have pretty miserable options to configure smtp auth.
Please post the output of "postconf -n" , /etc/postfix/master.cf (without the comments) and the options that are available in your mobile phone for authentication.
Thanks, Sandy, Postfix is now logging. Where can I find its output to syslog?
As for its configuration, both files attached as requested. My Nokia 9300i supports SMTP auth. For additional information, it sends happily using my internal wireless network but not through my service provider's internet connection.
Have you set the mail account on the phone for roaming, for your phone service provider you should ideally use the SMTP server to your phone server providers mail relay server, not your own. You can associate SMTP server by connection on series 80 phones, so the GPRS connection can have a distinct relay to that of your home network. I have found that the GPRS IP addresses tend to be NAT configured behind a firewall, and your phone is on the wrong side of that firewall and it is quite likely that they may not be permitting you to directly access your mail server from their network for mail relaying purposes (check with your supplier). In fact some providers in the UK are a bit of a pain in what they will allow you to connect to. BTW A useful tool to find the actual IP address out on a series 80 phone is the free FTP server. - -- ============================================================================== I have always wished that my computer would be as easy to use as my telephone.
