[ale] postfix problems with mindspring

[Armsby John-G16665]

I am still stumped.... Here is postconf -n  Email works great to accounts on the box itself and to my mindspring account.  Mail does not go to the internet.  No obvious errors in the error log.  I get a sent to relay host.

alias_database = hash:/etc/postfix/aliases
alias_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/aliases
command_directory = /usr/sbin
config_directory = /etc/postfix
daemon_directory = /usr/libexec/postfix
debug_peer_level = 2
default_privs = nobody
inet_interfaces = all
mail_owner = postfix
mailq_path = /usr/bin/mailq.postfix
manpage_directory = /usr/share/man
mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain
mydomain = mindspring.com
myhostname = server.mindspring.com
mynetworks = 168.100.189.0/28, 127.0.0.0/8, 192.168.1.0/24
myorigin = $myhostname
newaliases_path = /usr/bin/newaliases.postfix
queue_directory = /var/spool/postfix
readme_directory = /usr/share/doc/postfix-1.1.11/README_FILES
relayhost = 207.69.200.246
sample_directory = /usr/share/doc/postfix-1.1.11/samples
sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail.postfix
setgid_group = postdrop


aaaaarrrrrgggggggf

# postconf -n  That is a good one.... 

Right wrong or indifferent or just stupid, my little server host name is "server".  Since I dialed/DSL'd into mindspring I would put mindspring as the domain.  I don't think my little home network cares as I am hiding behind a linksys router and have the classic 192.168.1.x ip address.

Thanks for the tip.  I will keep looking.

John

So mindspring's not relaying your mail to the rest of the Internet?

use

# postconf -n

in the future for this -- it prints all non-default parameters....

Are these correct? Everything else looked reasonable....

At any rate, try to send an email outside, then post what /var/log/maillog 
says for that.

later,
chris
