Topic: smtp problem - SME Server 7.1.3

[jvf_oliveira@home-pt.net]

Hi,

I'm looking for a helping hand. I'm trying to make a transition from Windows to Linux. I have 2 twin machines behind a router; one is running Windows XP Pro+ Kerio Mail Server the other is running Ubuntu 6.0.61 server with VMWARE SERVER 1.02. On top of that I have IPCOP 1.4.15 (firewall) and SME Server 7.1.3 on the DMZ. I want to kill KMS- KMS is running perfectly and I don't have no smtp or pop3 problems. Yesterday I redirected my router's ports and tested SME Server's mail capabilities; I sent email's to 3 domains. All were delivered except the messages destined to yahoo. I can receive mail's from Yahoo! I can telnet port 25 from the LAN and the WAN!
Looking at the log I can see: 1176218416.062453500 qp 9120: to=remote.jvf_oliveira@yahoo.com, uid=453, ddelay=58080.648786, xdelay=480.082981, stat=Deferred (Sorry,_I_wasn't_able_to_establish_an_SMTP_connection._(#4.4.1)/)
My domain is home-pt.net, since I can't fix the problem I switched back to KMS. Anyone can help me?
Many, many thanks in advance!

You might have the same problem that others have encountered with Hotmail. You will need to send all email destined for yahoo via your ISP's smtp server. To achieve this do the following:
Create a template fragment for Yahoo:

Code: [Select]

#mkdir -p /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/var/qmail/control/smtproutes
#cd /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/var/qmail/control/smtproutes
#touch 40yahoo
#echo 'yahoo.com:smtp.your_isp.com' > 40yahoo
#signal-event email-update
Thanks to JonB for the above.

Hi,

Many thanks.
I solved the problem installing my own relay! It stands between SME and the router and solved my problem!

Best regards,
