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. |
