I need assistance with an error I'm getting via postfix on CentOS.

I'm receiving the following error when trying to send a test email from a server in our DMZ to any email address outside our internal network:

Feb 24 13:55:09 media postfix/smtpd[8926]: 2F06E3202D0: client=localhost.localdomain[127.0.0.1]

This is my first time working with postfix so I'm not sure what the problem is.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!

Edit: The server has an SPF setup for it and the domain is not blacklisted.

  • Can you please post your postfix configuration? main.cf and master.cf would be useful, more important the main.cf file from /etc/postfix

It sounds like a network issue rather than a postfix issue. Have you tried connecting to the remote server using telnet 74.125.93.26 25, and then sending a message from the telnet session?

  • This doesn't really provide an answer to what the true problem was with the firewall. However, it was a firewall issue so I'll award you the answer. Thanks for your help. Feb 24, 2012 at 20:43
  • Glad you resolved it.
