All,
I'm having problems sending e-mail from postfix to the world via
Bellsouth. (I'm experimenting with SUSE 9.1)
It works fine if I originate the mail with evolution, which then
delivers it to mail.atl.bellsouth.net
If I have postfix configured to forward all mail to the same smtp
server, it fails.
I get
550 .net 022: Your current IP address is not allowed to relay to
norcrossgroup.com Solution: Connect using BellSouth Internet
Service. (in
reply to RCPT TO command)
I am connected using Bellsouth (via a NAT gateway), so I'm not sure what
the problem is.
Does anybody have postfix forwarding their outbound e-mail to
Bellsouth?
My initial thought was that Bellsouth did not support PIPELINING so I
have configured postfix to use HELO (basic protocol) instead of EHLO
(advanced protocol)
Changing postfix's config to use HELO instead of EHLO did eliminate the
PIPELINING.
Now the "MAIL FROM:" and "RCPT TO:" are being sent in separate packets
from postfix.
Using ethereal, I don't see anything significantly different between
postfix and evolution sending out e-mail to my ISPs mail server.
As I said, sending via evolution works fine. I'm not sure I have ever
succesfully sent with postfix/bellsouth before. I'm still guessing
their is some kind of incompatibility.
Thanks
Greg
