Custom SMTP greetings.

[synet2k_]

I made changes in smtpd.cfg and set GREETING="SMTPd", restart scalix but nothing changes. Is it a bug?

Hello,

If you added SMTP Greetings like

Code: Select all

GREETING=SMTPD

in

Code: Select all

 /var/opt/scalix/sys/smtpd.cfg

We can check through telnet command SMTP Greetings.

Telnet your server on port no. 25, then your output will be

Code: Select all

220 SMTPD

Hi Prakash,

can you tell me which service i have to restart?
Can't restart the whole server...

[prakashnikhar]

restart the Scalix SMTP Daemon:

omoff -d0 smtpd

omon smtpd

Sorry, could have told you that restarting smtp relay was my first try, but without luck.
Still get "220 hostname ESMTP Sendmail 8.14...date"
Greeting message is a simple "SMTPD" like your earlier mentioned example.

In a default Scalix installation sendmail is listeining on localhost while omsmtpd tries to catch port 25 on the public IP.
compare "netstat -tulpen | grep :25"

cheers,
Dirk

Thanks for the info!
telnet localhost 25 answers with sendmail settings.
telnet ip-address 25 answers with omsmtpd banner "smtpd".

bye
