Scalix Forums

Hi,

I have on my suse linux enterprise server installed scalix, sendmail and greylisting. Scalixserver, sendmail an greylisting are running. But greylisting, don´t work, because greylisting say, that the email come from local. I see the /var/log/mail:

Greylisting don´t accecpt the first email. This is OK. But Greylisting think this email come from localhost. So sendmail on the scalixhost give this email in his queue and try this email in 5 minutes again. And in 5 minutes Greylisting say, that´s OK and allow this email. The sender server, don´t noticed that a receiver server have greylisting although the sender server this email must give in the queue.

Have everyone a idea?

thank you

robert

This is because sendmail is not listening on the external IP. You need to receive on the external IP with sendmail and then greylisting should work ok. To change this, set the port for Scalix to 587 in smtpd.cfg:

LISTEN_PORT=587

omoff -d0 smtpd
service sendmail stop
omon smtpd
service sendmail start

lsof -i tcp:25

Cheers,

Sascha.
