[05:32:46] *** goldfischli has quit IRC
[05:37:11] <xpoint> maybe you need to change firewall ?
[05:37:42] <xpoint> or really check where the remote ip is ?
[05:38:25] <xpoint> it sound like a bad joke
[05:49:57] <Twstd_Foo> yes it does
[05:51:29] <Twstd_Foo> all bigfish and exchange hosted mail servers use that same banner.

[07:32:48] <Forgott3n`> Hello, it appears I cannot receive mail from the outside world (box behind router). I have set up an MX record of mail.vanonymous.org pointing to www.vanonymous.org which is an A record to my server
[07:33:05] <Forgott3n`> what ports, if any, do I need to forward to receive mail?
[07:35:33] <seekwill> 25
[07:38:45] *** hwdyki has left #postfix
[07:41:47] <rob0> 220 mail.vanonymous.org ESMTP Postfix
[07:41:53] <rob0> it's answering
[07:42:10] <rob0> but, you're not supposed to use a CNAME as MX
[07:42:33] <rob0> you should just have b0ll.dyndns.org. as MX
[07:44:45] <Forgott3n`> ok
[07:58:22] *** Motoko-chan has joined #postfix
[08:00:01] <Forgott3n`> something is odd... I used to be able to receive mail, but it doesn't work now
[08:00:09] <Forgott3n`> I've doubled checked my ports
[08:00:12] <Forgott3n`> and I can telnet to postfix
[08:00:37] <Forgott3n`> I'm trying to send mail to forgott3n at vanonymous dot org
[08:09:31] <seekwill> Forgott3n`: grep your logs for 818C8C50BFB
[08:09:37] <seekwill> That's the email I just sent you
[08:10:59] <Forgott3n`> oh wow
[08:11:02] <Forgott3n`> all emails came in
[08:11:10] <Forgott3n`> I must've turned the port off at one point
[08:12:33] <Forgott3n`> generally speaking, if a mailserver is unable to deliver mail.. does it retry?
[08:12:39] <seekwill> Yes
[08:14:09] <Forgott3n`> well, thanks for the help!
[08:14:14] <seekwill> np
[08:15:02] <Forgott3n`> oh, another thing
[08:15:09] <Forgott3n`> my ISP blocks outgoing SMTP protocol
[08:15:16] <Forgott3n`> so I have to use their SMTP
[08:15:17] <seekwill> That's a good thing
[08:15:22] <seekwill> Who's your ISP?
[08:15:29] <Forgott3n`> Shaw High-Speed
[08:15:36] <Forgott3n`> a popular canadian isp
[08:15:56] <Forgott3n`> why is it a good thing?
[08:16:14] <seekwill> Because that helps control spam
[08:16:51] <Forgott3n`> if I wanted to use my own, though, is there a way to bypass the restriction?
[08:16:52] <seekwill> You generally don't want to host an email server on residential service
[08:16:55] <seekwill> No
[08:16:56] <Forgott3n`> ah
[08:17:16] <seekwill> For example, I block all mail coming from a residential IP
[08:17:22] <seekwill> (well, those listed in the RBL)
[08:17:28] <Forgott3n`> good to know
[08:17:42] <seekwill> However, relaying through their gateway will work
[08:18:00] <Forgott3n`> is there a de facto smtp server people like to use?
[08:18:22] <seekwill> sendmail
[08:19:24] <Forgott3n`> sorry, I mean as a relay service
[08:19:40] <Forgott3n`> right now I'm using Shaw's gateway
[08:19:52] <Forgott3n`> and if I provide my gmail credentials, I can use theirs
[08:20:02] <Forgott3n`> is there a service that people like to use?
[08:20:52] <seekwill> No
[08:21:50] <Forgott3n`> ok

[08:27:02] *** mordof has joined #postfix
[08:27:37] <mordof> hi. got postfix on ubuntu.. can anyone help me verify that it's actually working to send an email? (just a simple command line test) i don't know what i'm doing really, and it's giving me issues
[08:28:37] <seekwill> It's helpful to have like a gmail account to test with :)
[08:28:47] <mordof> i have a gmail account
[08:29:05] <mordof> 3 actually, lol
[08:29:15] <Forgott3n`> localuser at address dot to.server
[08:29:33] <Forgott3n`> log in as that user after you've sent email and type "mail"
[08:29:41] <Forgott3n`> or tail -f /va/log/maillog
[08:29:54] <Forgott3n`> /var/log/maillog*
[08:30:06] <mordof> i need to verify that it'll send an email to my gmail account
[08:30:14] <Forgott3n`> oh
[08:30:21] <mordof> i want to use it with mail(); for php
[08:30:24] <Forgott3n`> log in as user (can be root)
[08:30:34] <rob0> what is the domain name?
[08:30:36] <Forgott3n`> and type "mail email at gmail dot com"
[08:30:56] <rob0> oh you want to SEND
[08:30:58] <Forgott3n`> finish the prompts and when complete hit Ctrl+D twice
[08:31:18] <Forgott3n`> or you can telnet into the SMTP protocol
[08:31:22] <Forgott3n`> telnet localhost 25
[08:31:38] <Forgott3n`> and do it manually
[08:32:05] <mordof> Forgott3n`: how long would it usually take to recieve the email on gmail's end
[08:32:11] <Forgott3n`> AFAIK: if the mail command works in shell, mail(); will work in PHP
[08:32:36] <Forgott3n`> well my dear chum, type "tail /var/log/maillog" and paste the contents to www.pastebin.ca
[08:32:50] <Forgott3n`> lets see what your server did to the email first
[08:33:13] <mordof> no such file or directory
[08:33:45] <Forgott3n`> locate maillog
[08:33:56] <rob0> !logs
[08:33:57] <knoba> rob0: "logs" : by default, postfix logs to the mail facility of syslog. Something like grep -i `postconf -h syslog_facility` /etc/syslog.conf or grep -rl `postconf -h syslog_name` /var/log/* should tell you where logs are going.
[08:34:09] <mordof> there isn't one ; ; lol
[08:34:21] <mordof> hmm
[08:34:27] <Forgott3n`> ty rob0
[08:35:32] <mordof> would /var/log/daemon.log be it?
[08:36:00] <Forgott3n`> try
[08:36:02] <mordof> lol.. hold on i think i need to run that with sudo
[08:36:12] <Forgott3n`> /var/log/mail.log
[08:36:17] <mordof> k
[08:36:26] <mordof> yeah that works
[08:38:11] <mordof> hope this is what you want
[08:38:12] <mordof> http://rafb.net/p/aWYSLa79.html
[08:38:48] <mordof> i kinda sent a wierd signal.. i'm using putty ssh'd into my server, lol. so it looks like i clicked on something to make it send the stuff i had selected to bash
[08:39:32] <Forgott3n`> yeah, PuTTY will paste everything on clipboard to server if you right click
[08:39:56] <rob0> Looks like you were following some HOWTO, but gave up part of the way through it.

[08:40:23] <mordof> i got given a very bad guide that screwed up most of my system, someone in #ubuntu has been trying to help me piece it back together
[08:40:46] <rob0> I would scrap it and start over.
[08:40:49] <mordof> i can't reinstall right now... i really need to get this working asap :s
[08:40:58] <rob0> good luck with that
[08:41:28] <rob0> why can't you reinstall Postfix?
[08:41:38] <mordof> i can reinstall postfix.. just not everything else, lol
[08:42:11] <seekwill> rob0: Reinstall?
[08:42:13] <rob0> ok, I'm off to bed.
[08:43:07] <mordof> i used a package manager to install it...
[08:43:20] <mordof> Mail Server thingy.. i forget what the command was to get to it

[11:58:26] *** pirho has joined #postfix
[11:59:44] *** efphe has joined #postfix
[11:59:51] <efphe> hi alls, i have a simple question:
[11:59:57] <dragonheart> Tykling: look for autoresponder
[12:00:23] <dragonheart> efphe: questions are usually easier to ask than answer :-)
[12:00:31] <Tykling> great, thank you dragonheart
[12:01:15] <efphe> is sasl mandatory to allow relay with user/password authentication? or does postfix contains something more simple itself, without the need to configure cyrus-sasl? if i remember, i was able to specify authentication credentials on a hash:db file, directlyl from main.cf.... maybe i was drunk
[12:03:15] <efphe> it would be nice to configure smtpd authentication as smtp authentication, where i can specify `smtp_sasl_password_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/sasl_passwd`... is this possible?
[12:03:44] <dragonheart> efphe: postfix sasl is either dovecot or cyrus. a hash lookup isn't sasl so i don't think that is possible. there are methods which dovecot can use to access authentication. not sure about cyrus.
[12:04:11] <efphe> dragonheart, yes this is the point. I don't want sasl, i need only tls and basic auth
[12:05:08] <efphe> or, to say better, i would postfix handel auth directly, reading credentials from a hash lookup
[12:05:20] *** pulsar has joined #postfix
[12:05:22] <efphe> without additional modules
[12:05:57] <dragonheart> http://www.postfix.org/SASL_README.html
[12:06:17] <dragonheart> there is a hash map for outgoing smtp auth but not for smtpd in my quick read.
[12:06:45] <efphe> dragonheart, i come from here. it seems that postfix does not contain an authentication layer for smtpd authentication: it seems sasl is mandatory.
[12:06:48] <efphe> exactly
[12:07:02] <efphe> that's strange
[12:07:13] <efphe> so i need sasl
[12:08:23] <dragonheart> yep
[12:09:19] <efphe> dragonheart, this would be a simple and nice feature, to allow postfix handle basic authentication without the need to install great modules
[12:10:34] <efphe> i miss this feature, because i have to install sasl framework for too much simple task. i can understand a modular approach when i need to make authentication againsta something like ldap, passwd, but for simple tasks this is too much in my opinion
[12:10:43] *** GoGi has joined #postfix
[12:11:04] <dragonheart> and really sasl is an authentication layer. it provides a good layer of separation between modules to minimise code fault risk. seeing what Wyste has written on lists before he'll usually accept a well written patch
[12:11:28] <dragonheart> Wietse (er my bad)
[12:20:07] <efphe> if i want to open the relay based upon sender address (yes, i know that's not secure), i specify:
[12:20:11] <efphe> smtpd_sender_restrictions= check_sender_access hash:/etc/postfix/foo
[12:20:34] <efphe> after that, how can i say this is enough? relay continues to be denied
[12:22:02] <dragonheart> on phone - on sec
[12:24:34] <dragonheart> looked at certificate auth?
[12:24:35] *** Draecos has joined #postfix
[12:28:23] <efphe> dragonheart, yes, but it will be too difficult for my not experienced clients(users)
[12:28:40] <efphe> ok
[12:28:43] <dragonheart> ah ok
[12:28:57] <efphe> i specified smtpd_recipient_restr. and smtpd_sender_restr.
[12:29:01] <efphe> now it works
[12:29:08] <dragonheart> great
[12:29:22] <efphe> if someoned will discover a good mail from, my smtp server is totally open ;>

[14:48:49] <uid00> i just changed mx record of old server domain to point to point to IP of new mail server
[14:48:53] <uid00> updated main.cf
[14:48:55] <uid00> and then this shit :)
[14:49:02] <uid00> i thought it was all set up, using the old domain
[14:49:17] <uid00> for instance.  older system was mail.server.com, newer system was mail.server.biz
[14:49:31] <uid00> i just changed A-record/IP of mail.server.com to point to IP of new mail system
[14:49:35] <uid00> or at least that was the plan.
[14:49:41] <uid00> of course, I updated main.cf and a few other thigns
[14:49:43] <sega01> you didn't test this before switching the mx record?
[14:49:52] <uid00> the new system was working fine
[14:49:57] <uid00> under .biz domain
[14:50:07] <sega01> did you change $mydomain?
[14:50:12] <uid00> yes
[14:50:25] <uid00> my domain would be:  mail.server.com no?
[14:50:45] <sega01> if that is what the mx record points to
[14:50:54] <uid00> it does
[14:51:15] <sega01> does mail.server.com point to the new mail server?
[14:51:17] <uid00> but i keep seeing/getting these relay errors
[14:51:28] <sega01> btw, is it the same mail server on a different domain, or a different mail server on a different domain?
[14:51:40] <sega01> can you send mail through it at all?
[14:51:47] <uid00> different mail server on same domain
[14:51:50] <uid00> just changed mx
[14:52:12] <uid00> lemme back up here
[14:52:22] <uid00> i had mail.server.com working fine, mail.server.biz working fine
[14:52:38] <uid00> i've moved mail.server.com --> A record, to point to server at mail.server.biz
[14:52:52] <uid00> so now, mail.server.com, mail.server.biz point to new system
[14:53:07] <sega01> ok
[14:53:12] *** stefan-f has quit IRC
[14:53:17] <uid00> but i want to use the .com as the mail serv as it would not require me to update all user's configs come tomorrow morning
[14:53:49] <sega01> then point the A record back :-)
[14:53:54] <uid00> jeebus
[14:53:58] <sega01> if you want to stay with the old server
[14:54:02] <uid00> i don't
[14:54:12] <sega01> oh, sorry
[14:54:14] <sega01> misunderstood
[14:54:24] <sega01> hmm
[14:54:25] <uid00> i want the server at .biz (where .com is now pointed) to work :)
[14:54:39] <sega01> can you send mail as .biz through the .biz server?
[14:56:20] <uid00> oddly, yes
[14:56:25] <uid00> but it looks like dns hasn't propp
[14:56:33] <uid00> because when i look at the email header
[14:56:44] <uid00> it shows that the mail came from mail.server.com's old IP address
[14:56:46] <sega01> restart your caching server
[14:56:49] <uid00> and that server is actually off...
[14:56:56] <uid00> caching server?
[14:57:01] <sega01> caching dns server
[14:57:03] <uid00> sorry, bit n00b here
[14:57:08] <uid00> i'm not running my own dns
[14:57:09] <sega01> so you can test with a clean dns slate
[14:57:16] <sega01> ok
[14:57:28] <sega01> dig mail.server.biz
[14:57:31] <sega01> and mail.server.com
[14:57:32] <uid00> yeah
[14:57:34] <uid00> did it
[14:57:39] <sega01> do they point to the right places?
[14:57:39] <uid00> they have same IP of new system :)
[14:57:43] <sega01> ok
[14:57:56] <sega01> was the header from an email sent to an external mail server?
[14:58:05] <uid00> yeah
[14:58:26] <uid00> i sent a message via mail.server.biz...to external account. looked at header. says it came from IP at mail.server.com
[14:58:32] <uid00> and that server (mail server) is off.
[14:59:37] <uid00> i changed the server name to connect to on my account, the .biz one...
[14:59:49] <uid00> so i have user at server dot com, mail:  mail.server.biz....i actually can connect
[14:59:59] <uid00> but when I send an email...says it's coming from mail.server.com IP...
[15:00:02] <uid00> is that just a DNS thing?
[15:00:49] <sega01> quite possibly
[15:01:02] <sega01> you could send an email to root at go-beyond dot org
[15:01:07] <sega01> i presume i don't have your server in cache
[15:01:14] <sega01> i run my own caching resolver
[15:01:18] <uid00> i'm assuming no, as I don't know wtf that is :)
[15:01:27] <uid00> here you ...email comin sega01
[15:02:57] <uid00> i uh take some of that back
[15:03:08] <uid00> looks like I can connect via .biz...but cannot send to or from my client
[15:03:12] <uid00> hmm
[15:03:26] <uid00> i looked at the reject letter when sending to via external account
[15:03:29] <uid00> says relay access denied
[15:03:36] <uid00> from mail.server.com (which is good)
[15:03:40] <uid00> and it shows the new IP
[15:03:43] <uid00> so that's a start I guess
[15:03:54] <sega01> ok
[15:03:59] <sega01> hmm
[15:04:25] <sega01> so the new server cannot send from .biz now?
[15:04:40] <sega01> checking syslog would be helpful
[15:05:02] <uid00> ok, backing up
[15:06:00] <uid00> i can connect...via mail.server.net to the mail serv
[15:06:05] <uid00> i see my imap folders, shares
[15:06:14] <uid00> i cannot send.  getting that relay access denied error
[15:06:20] <uid00> at least it's pointing to right IP
[15:06:35] <uid00> looking at tail of /var/log/maillog
[15:06:44] <uid00> i see nothing but relay errors, even from spam messages
[15:06:54] <uid00> so nothing is coming in
[15:06:57] <uid00> or going out
[15:07:17] <uid00> but
[15:07:27] <uid00> i did get a mail warning message from root, one that i sent via CLI
[15:07:42] <uid00> probably not quite the same as it probably didn't go over wire to deliver it
[15:07:48] <uid00> just dropped it into my inbox i suppose
[15:07:49] <sega01> sounds like local relay is working then
[15:08:17] <sega01> pastebin'ing your main.cf would help
[15:08:24] <uid00> eh, sure :)
[15:08:54] <sega01> i have to get going for now though, *might* be back soon or in a few hours
[15:08:56] <sega01> good luck :-)

[18:05:29] <Haris> freebsd is MUCH more flexible
[18:06:57] <Haris> I went to #fedora, but they don't support fc6. Its too old in their opinion. no one talks in #fedora-legacy. And there's no repository on the internet which has postfix for fc6 which has mysql+sasl auth support :|
[18:09:27] <uid00> hey so i figured out my relay issue
[18:09:33] <uid00> it was likely from misconfig'd host

[18:59:11] <vindex> basically i can login to my IMAP (courier-imap + postfix with sasl auth) using the bare unix username but when using user at foo dot tld format it wont le tme in
[18:59:30] <Dominian> sounds like you're using local accounts for authentication.
[18:59:38] <vindex> postfix latest version, courier-imap latest as well, it's configured to use SMTP+TLS and SASL auth backed by pam
[18:59:41] <vindex> indeed
[18:59:46] <Dominian> and that would be within SASL how it takes the format of what is allowecd for authentication iirc
[18:59:56] <vindex> i wnated to have virtual mail configured without a db backend

[19:36:00] <vindex> ok
[19:36:23] <vindex> i observed i had smtpd_sasl_local_domain set to empty value
[19:36:28] <vindex> should I change that?
[19:36:34] <vindex> to $mydomain?
[19:36:46] <deface> u can
[19:36:53] <vindex> ok
[19:37:04] <vindex> ok, done with main config, now let's see the maps files
[19:37:11] <deface> i just have my local users aliased to a virtual
[19:37:24] <deface> i dont use local
[19:38:32] <vindex> i will do that, seems like the best option
[19:38:57] <vindex> better security, even though their accs are disabled if something happens someone can still get their privilege level off the mail enabled account
[19:39:31] <vindex> deface: so how can I set up that?
[19:39:43] <vice-versa> !virtual
[19:39:45] <knoba> vice-versa: "virtual" : a way to configure additional domains and user accounts (that do not need to exist in your /etc/passwd). See: http://www.postfix.org/VIRTUAL_README.html

[19:42:05] <deface> i use mysql, and postfixadmin

[19:46:16] <deface> vindex: then yeah, go ahead follow the link above
[19:46:24] <deface> ;)
[19:47:24] <vindex> done, my doubts are more about the auth side
[19:47:30] <vindex> that seems straightforward
[19:47:46] <vindex> what did you set up for mysql btw? all howtos ive found have somewhat outdated info
[19:48:52] <deface> i dont mind passing on my files if you want em
[19:49:12] <deface> i only do gentoo as well ;)
[19:49:50] <vindex> sma here, i ended up ina stupid argument over the gentoo-server channel too, but it didnt help that i was sleepy and pissed off with postfix
[19:50:07] <sysmonk> evening
[19:50:17] <rob0> Post off with pistfox?
[19:50:33] <vindex> im just a bit concerned about mysql as backend to postfix, ive seen a particular case in which something pretty ugly was done using postfix as vector to a localhost-only enabled mysql instance

[19:50:52] <vindex> rob0: hah
[19:50:53] <sysmonk> vindex: as a what?
[19:51:17] <vindex> sysmonk: apparently there are issues with some multibyte encoding input
[19:51:38] <sysmonk> with pistfox?
[19:51:48] <vindex> heh, indeed
[19:51:56] <deface> vindex: the mysql is just for auth, not storage
[19:52:20] <sysmonk> for teh 'meta data' ( aliases, user database and etc)
[19:52:25] <vindex> deface: aye
[19:52:30] <sysmonk> + you can give pistfox only read-only access to the table
[19:52:38] <sysmonk> pistfox doesn't even know how to write to mysql
[19:53:02] <deface> yeah, you'd rely on something like postfixadmin or phpmyadmin to maintain the table
[19:53:13] <sysmonk> ouch
[19:53:19] <sysmonk> libmysqlclient and some syscalls ;P
[19:53:32] <deface> unless your uber l33t like sysmonk

[20:44:16] <vindex>  On the Postfix side, you can have only one realm per smtpd(8) instance, and only the users belonging to that realm would be able to authenticate.  The Postfix variable smtpd_sasl_local_domain controls the realm used by smtpd(8):    /etc/postfix/main.cf:     smtpd_sasl_local_domain = $myhostname
[20:44:18] <vindex> huh
[20:44:32] <vindex> im trying to use sasldb auth for my virtual mail setup

[20:45:35] <uid00> you're back :)
[20:45:51] <uid00> just fyi, i think my problem was in the domain name
[20:46:09] <uid00> but as of now, i've been waiting ~ 3 hrs for the update on the host name to travel teh tubes
[20:46:11] <uid00> so i don't know
[20:46:32] <uid00> what i don't get is:
[20:46:54] <uid00> why is changing the IP of an mx at mail.server.com --> new ip, considered 'relaying' error
[20:47:12] <uid00> the error would have made more sense if it said, 'domain doesn't match'

[21:12:16] <rob0> again, bad formatting of master.cf, see "man 5 master" and the leading comments in master.cf. If dbmail docs are bad, you might want to tell them so.

[22:16:50] <uid00> eh
[22:16:54] <uid00> isn't that $myhost
[22:17:05] <rob0> myhostname = mail.one-planet.net
[22:17:11] <rob0> you lose
[22:17:16] <uid00> same shiz, no?
[22:17:20] <uid00> same thing, that is
[22:17:22] <rob0> mydomain = mail.one-planet.net
[22:17:31] <rob0> one-planet.net != mail.one-planet.net
[22:17:45] <uid00> this is an email host system
[22:17:50] <vice-versa> that be two planets
[22:17:50] <uid00> one-planet.net is not going here
[22:17:55] <rob0> Okay, we're wrong then.
[22:17:58] <uid00> only mail.one-planet.net
[22:18:15] <uid00> the host system in question is the mail one
[22:18:25] <rob0> what SHOULD have happened with the error?
[22:18:42] <uid00> well, ideally, id' like no error and a sucessful mail delivery
[22:18:46] <uid00> but i'm just picky like that
[22:18:56] <shasta> uid00, this log message is clear: your system rejected email for gz at one-planet dot net because it's not the final destination for one-planet.net, and client isn't authorized to relay to one-planet.net via your host
[22:18:56] <rob0> mx2.clearsystem.net[65.75.170.201] isn't in mynetworks
[22:19:00] <shasta> period
[22:19:11] <rob0> mx2.clearsystem.net[65.75.170.201] didn't auth
[22:19:11] <uid00> i'm sorry take it slow for me
[22:19:13] <uid00> ok
[22:19:17] <uid00> i'm not relaying
[22:19:22] <uid00> or am I because of the mx th ing?
[22:19:27] <rob0> one-planet.net is not one of your domains.
[22:19:37] <uid00> well, it's not the name of the host, yes
[22:19:39] <uid00> the mail host
[22:19:40] <rob0> Just like the relay_denied factoid says.
[22:20:03] <uid00> ok...so, my mail.one-planet.net points to my mail host
[22:20:19] <uid00> and mail is coming from one-planet.net to mail.one-planet.net, that's a relay?
[22:20:27] <uid00> ...
[22:20:51] <shasta> "from" one-planet?
[22:21:20] <uid00> yes when someone emails * at one-planet dot net, it will 'use' mail.one-planet.net (pointed to mail host) to deliver mail
[22:21:20] <shasta> $ host -t mx one-planet.net
[22:21:21] <shasta> one-planet.net mail is handled by 10 mail.one-planet.net.
[22:21:26] <uid00> yes
[22:21:34] <uid00> and mail.one-planet.net is properly pointed to the mail host
[22:21:40] <uid00> the host name itself, mail.one-planet.net
[22:21:50] <rob0> Keep rereading what we have told you. Can't make it much clearer, I'm afraid.
[22:21:57] <uid00> i'm sorry for the disconnect guys :<
[22:22:01] <shasta> ... but the mail host is apparently misconfigured and doesn't accept emails for @one-planet.net
[22:22:09] <uid00> so, i guess, what I should be asking, is how to fix ?
[22:22:31] <uid00> i don't see how it's a relay thing, that's my befuddling thought on it
[22:22:44] <uid00> it seemed to me that if the a-record was set on the mx/mail subdomain it was all good
[22:23:09] <vice-versa> magic mx dust
[22:23:15] <shasta> relay is when SOMETHING uses your postfix to send email to SOMEDOMAIN, which that postfix isn't final destination for
[22:23:17] <uid00> at this point, i wish AI did have some
[22:23:44] <uid00> ok
[22:23:49] <uid00> why is this a relay then?
[22:23:51] <rob0> You're perhaps too busy typing, not rereading.\
[22:24:01] <uid00> when someone emails @one-planet.net, it goes to mail.one-planet.net, directly to the mail host
[22:24:05] <shasta> uid00, [22:22:02] < shasta> ... but the mail host is apparently misconfigured and doesn't accept emails for @one-planet.net
