Hi- I am trying to send mail from the command line on Tiger. I don't have a mailserver running, I'm just trying to set this up for php scripts to send mail. Anyway, my mail is not going, and the errors are as follows:
In the mail.log:
Aug 19 11:41:24 www1 postfix/smtp[16109]: connect to assumption.edu[192.80.61.7]: Operation timed out (port 25)
Aug 19 11:41:24 www1 postfix/smtp[16109]: 8DD121DB021: to=, relay=none, delay=92484, status=deferred (connect to assumption.edu[192.80.61.7]: Operation timed out)

Aug 19 11:58:52 www1 postfix/smtp[16281]: 929591DB5D9: to=, relay=none, delay=9980, status=deferred (Host or domain name not found. Name service error for name=www1.www1 type=MX: Host not found, try again)
Aug 19 11:58:52 www1 postfix/smtp[16280]: 1603C1DB5D4: to=, relay=none, delay=10052, status=deferred (Host or domain name not found. Name service error for name=www1.www1 type=MX: Host not found, try again)
So, it's creating mail just not delivering....
In the defer dir- I find my mail and ....
[www1:postfix/defer/5] usr# cat 5E3341DB5C8
: connect to assumption.edu[192.80.61.7]: Operation timed out
recipient=dummy@assumption.edu
offset=158
status=4.0.0
action=delayed
reason=connect to assumption.edu[192.80.61.7]: Operation timed out
This is because that's not my ip address. When I do an ifconfig that ip address doesn't show up either. How does that get set? Is 192.80.61.7 the ip it's looking to send smtp mail throug? B/c I built this machine from an image where mail used to work and it was on that assumption.edu network. I dont know anything about postfix- so, I'm shooting in the dark. Thanks in advance for any help.
