Hi guys,
I am trying to setup potfix (for my own personal curiosity) and see how it goes. I am doing this on my home PC, with OpenSUSE 13.1. I managed to get the postfix daemon started, and setup a mysql db(MariaDB) as well as setup the apache for postfix admin. However I am not sure what to do next. I have a domainname --> techfornoobs.info, however I am not 100% sure I got the DNS records setup correctly either. Despite this, I should be able to send mail from the server. When I try to send an e-mail from the postfix admin interface, in the logs I get this:
2014-07-07T21:08:00.044266+03:00 Beliskner postfix/smtp[1690]: connect to gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com[74.125.136.26]:25: No route to host
2014-07-07T21:08:00.044909+03:00 Beliskner postfix/smtp[1690]: connect to gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com[2a00:1450:4013:c01::1a]:25: Network is unreachable
2014-07-07T21:08:00.045390+03:00 Beliskner postfix/smtp[1690]: connect to alt1.gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com[2607:f8b0:400e:c03::1a]:25: Network is unreachable
I was trying to send to my own gmail account. Now, if it was an encryption issue( I am using default smtp 25 and pop3 110 ports) I was expecting to see connection refused or something other than this. The computer is behind a router and the ports are forwarded properly.
Also, I created a mailbox in postfix admin, and I'd like to be able to connect to it using thunderbird. I cannot figure out how though and I don't know where to find the postfix config file for that. Should I also post my /etc/postfix/main.cf ? (I also turned off the firewall altogether for now so it can't be a firewall issue. Does anybody have more experience with this or any ideas on this? Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Kind Regards
