Any further ideas about this issue?
this is the hostlist-defintion:
domainlist local_domains = lsearch;/etc/localdomains
domainlist relay_to_domains = lsearch;/etc/localdomains
hostlist relay_from_hosts = 127.0.0.1 : /etc/relayhosts
acl-defintion:
acl_smtp_rcpt = acl_check_rcpt
This is my complete acl section:
begin acl
# This access control list is used for every RCPT command in an incoming
# SMTP message. The tests are run in order until the address is either
# accepted or denied.
acl_check_rcpt:
accept hosts = :
deny local_parts = ^.*[@%!/|]
message = localpart contains odd signs
log_message = localpart contains odd signs
accept local_parts = postmaster
domains = +local_domains
require verify = sender
message = sender did not verify
log_message = sender did not verify
accept authenticated = *
accept hosts = +relay_from_hosts
accept domains = +local_domains
endpass
message = unknown user
log_message = unknown user
verify = recipient
deny message = relay not permitted
log_message = relay not permitted
so every deny has a log_message set.
But still sometimes relays are denied w/o any reason as described below. i
quoted the complete thread again, because the thread is already 10 days old.
The /etc/relayhosts-file contains about 300 entries like:
80.132.57.63 # 1046210804
62.214.32.39 # 1046210814
212.114.173.150 # 1046210816
thanx for your suggestions
