Post subject:  Postfix Relay with mynetworks -- not working
I'm trying to setup postfix to allow relaying from two specific IP addresses -- office and home.
It works with the first IP address (office), but not from home. I'm stumped.

I have this set:

mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8 24.12.24.23 24.12.22.17

The IP in green works just fine. It is my office. The one in red doesn't work.

Can anyone help me with what I might be missing?

What error message do you get in /var/log/mail.log or wherever you are logging mail?

Also, post the output of `postconf -n`.

Thank you for your help.
The error I'm getting now on my laptop at home is: "Can not connect to SMTP server."

I can take this same laptop, without changing anything, and it works fine at the office.
There isn't a record in the mail log because it isn't connecting. I'm stumped on that.

Here is the postconf - n.
Thanks much.

Is your home ISP blocking SMTP traffic? A large number do, these days, to stop spam (use their relay or else). Does your linode have a firewall so only specific IP addresses can connect?

From your laptop at home, what is the result of "telnet your-inode 25" ? What about "telnet your-inode 587" ? It's possible you could run an authenticating SMTP server on the SMTP-submission port (587) if your ISP is blocking port 25.

Hey, thanks much!

It was so easy. :D

I just tested port 25, and yes, it is being blocked by my ISP.
So, I just changed postfix to another port for SMTP and viola..... workslike a charm.

Thank you much.
