scalix unable relay to external domains

[prosystem]

i installed scalix ce on rhel4. everything is doing fine except sending/relaying to external domains. smtpd accepts mails (as far as i can see in smtpd.log) but they are not forwarded to the destination. any help is appreciated.

thanks

This topic has been raised many many many times on this forum. It'll probably boil down to a relay accept line in your smtpd.cfg file. If you hit the search link above I'm sure you'll find a resolution.

hello,

i do not think that this is on of the issues already handled in other posts. yes, i read all of the other posts and i tried various "accept" statements in smtpd.cfg. with out any customization log says:

...
Cli 6571/1 rcvd: 'MAIL FROM:<sender@domain.org>'
Cli 6571/1 sent : 250 sender@domain.org... Sender ok

Cli 6571/1 rcvd: 'RCPT TO:<xxx@yyy.org>'
Rejected relay attempt from sender@domain.org at 192.168.11.4 to xxx@yyy.org
Cli 6571/1 sent : 550 Denied due to spam list

Cli 6571/1 failed: EOF

so i set smtpd.cfg to:

RELAY accept ALL

now i get following log output:

...
Cli 6666/1 rcvd: 'MAIL FROM:<sender@domain.org>'
Cli 6666/1 sent : 250 sender@domain.org... Sender ok

Cli 6666/1 rcvd: 'RCPT TO:<xxx@yyy.org>'

mail transmission is stuck at this point, nothing happens. i have to either cancel the client program or restart smtpd.

i am new to scalix. i think this is an essential function of an email-system. this should work without too much effort.

FYI - i changed the above senders/recipients to placeholders.

thanks in advance for further replies

sorry for my impatience. i finally got it working now :-)

i used the setting "daemon=no" in /etc/sysconfig/sendmail, just like admin guide says. i am not sure if this is necessary for the sendmail interface only. anyway, i switched it back to daemon=yes as sendmail is listening to 127.0.0.1 only.

thanks for all who took the time to read this post

That is something that we've fixed in the latest version which is due next week.

Cheers
