Hi

Looking for some help, here's the scenerio:

I have a RH linux gateway accepting mail for a domain, some of the users mail is sent via a virtusertable to either other email accounts, or the scalix linux box( which is an internal RH EL4 server with Scalix Enterprise 10.0.1 installed). So on the gateway virtusertable is
scalixuser@example.com scalixuser@[scalix.example.com]

scalix.example.com has an external and internal static IP address

/etc/mail/relay-domains has :
[scalix.example.com]
example.com

/var/opt/scalix/sys/smtpd.cfg has:
RELAY accept 127.0.0.1
RELAY accept 192.168.1.200
RELAY accept .example.com
RELAY Log_Reject ALL

So when an email is sent to scalix.example.com this is the result in the maillog:

Aug 3 12:51:02 scalix sendmail[5104]: k734p2xp005104: <scalixuser@[scalix.example.com]>... User unknown
Aug 3 12:51:02 scalix sendmail[5104]: k734p2xp005104: from=<someuser@hotmail.com>, size=1179, class=0, nrcpts=0, proto=ESMTP, daemon=MTA, relay=gateway.example.com[192.168.1.254]

Question:
What can be modified to allow the scalixuser to relay mail?

A work around that does work is to have a local user account for scalixuser on scalix.example.com, past mail through a virtusertable on scalix, and add an entry to /etc/aliases to send the mail from scalixuser to scalixuser@example.com which scalix will send locally.

Any help would be appreciated!!!.....Cheers

Who is listening on the external interfaces port 25 ? It looks to me like sendmail is listening, not the Scalix SMTPd.

Sascha.

Thanks for the response

Okay, the smtpd relay is listening on port 25

Testing interfaces

[root@scalix ~]# telnet localhost 25
Trying 127.0.0.1...
telnet: connect to address 127.0.0.1: Connection refused
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused

[root@scalix ~]# telnet 192.168.1.200 25

/etc/sysconfig/sendmail:

maillog:

Does smtp relay have to listen on port 25 on localhost and if so what needs configuring?

Cheers

/etc/sysconfig/sendmail has:
Daemon=yes

Sendmail is listening on localhost:25

Scalix SMTP Relay is listening on external IP:25

Maillog is still registering a "User unknown" ( as in the first post ) for any external mail that is received.

Any ideas?

Since you are translating the original email address from scalixuser@example.com to scalixuser@[scalix.example.com] you also need to add that address to the Scalix users aliases. You can do that easiest using SAC. Simply add that address scalixuser@scalix.example.com to the Internet addresses.

Cheers,

Sascha.

Brilliant!!.............bleedin' outstanding!!

Cheers for the help

FYI - for anyone else - restart the whole scalix service after any change.
