postfix configuration issues...specifically masquerading (lack of )


Mail sent to our intranet arrives correctly (me@domain.com).

Mail sent to our intranet arrives correctly (me@domain.com).

Anything going outside does not, so my tests get rejected (me@hostname.com)

any assistance am I missing something?
thanks,
manny

main.cf entries:
smtp_generic_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/generic
masquerade_domains = $mydomain


contents of generic file:
me@hostname.com me@domain.com

when I add "-v" to my mail command, I receive a Mail Delivery Status Report

This report indicates a connection timed out error when testing to my cellphone acct. and gmail.

<me@gmail.com>: connect to gsmtp183.google.com[64.233.183.27]: Connection timed out

mail just sits captive in my queue directory...until I manually remove it.


Adding the generic file/main.cf corrected the masquerading to my intranet...just not internet mail.

server just does not cooperate when sending any internet mail

changed myorigin to $mydomain, now I don't need to worry about the generic file/smtp_generic_maps entry...

still having a problem w/outgoing internet mail...not being masqueraded.

Can you telnet to SMTP servers on the 'net without issues?

Code:

telnet gsmtp183.google.com 25
telnet 
telnet sendmail.org 25

The "Connection timed out" to hosts is a different issue to your masquerading issues.

Network Team is blocking smtp traffic from this box...it's a conspiracy
will test once they open the port...

thanks ZB!!
