3/23 I am running NAT. My smtp server (on the other side) refuses to allow connections from anywhere but my own domain. I am mapping my internal IPs to external IPs. Is there something I need to do to the sendmail client to prevent "550 5.7.1 Access denied"? The server seems to disconnect me because it sees the original headers. Do they need to be rewritten? \_ What smtp server? \_ Dunno. I am not the admin. I assume sendmail, but maybe not. \_ your question is not clear. the smtp server is on the public network and you are connecting from behind nat? if the server is checking tcp/ip addressing, it will see the address of the NAT device's WAN interface. otherwise, it will see the HELO name provided by your sending agent, which perhaps also has to match your domain? the internall addressing on your LAN should have no impact, unless you are trying to configure the sending agent's self-identity in a perverse way. what happens if you telnet to the server's smtp port? are you dropped immediately or only after issuing a HELO/EHLO command? \_ Correct. I am not dropped immediately. I can connect and issue a HELO with no problems. \_ then what are you asking again? can you manually send a message via telnet? can you get a trace of the failing sessions? what is different between the two? I punted and use "msmtp" to deliver messages via my authenticated SMTP server. |
