How can I make my smtp to listen on just one IP?
/var/qmail/control/outgoingip:
http://www.qmail-ldap.org/wiki/~control/outgoingip
I think he already has his qmail-remote originating connections from
a given IP.
I think he wants his qmail-smtpd to listen only on a specific IP.
If you have a standard qmail-ldap setup, edit:
/var/qmail/boot/qmail-smtpd/run
and edit it so that the tcpserver line looks something like:
--8<--
...
tcpserver -v -URl $ME -x$QMAIL/control/qmail-smtpd.cdb \
${CONCURRENCY:+"-c$CONCURRENCY"} ${BACKLOG:+"-b$BACKLOG"} \
1.2.3.4 smtp $QMAIL/bin/qmail-smtpd
--8<--
Where 1.2.3.4 is the IP you would like it to listen on.
I tried that. But I was facing a strange problem. It was listening to
the desired IP... or so it seemed. Because when I tried to telnet on
this IP on port 25, it replied and the negotiation was ok. But my
mail client was unable to send mails. Don't know why? There was
nothing unusual in logs also.
Like I said above I have outgoing IP configured in ~/control/outgoingip.
I restarted all qmail-processes (qmail, smtpd, pop3d, pop3-ssl), just
to be sure, before I tested.
(1) I assume you mean an external mail client, i.e. something not
local to the box?
yes. Its not local box. I am on remote machine and using ssh to
configure server.
(2) Did you see your mail client's connection (attempt?) in the
qmail-smtpd log?
yes, it is there.
(3) Are you absolutely sure that it's attempting to connect to the
correct IP?
yes, because, qmail-smtpd/current has an entry of connection.
(4) Is the failure one of the "could not make connection" variety, or
otherwise?
Nope. It is not. I am using thunderbird. It said,
Sending message failed.
The message could not be sent because connecting to SMTP server
xxx.xxxxxx.xxx failed. The server may be unavailable or is refusing SMTP
connections. Please verify that your SMTP server setting is correct and
try again or else contact your network administrator.
Here *server xxx.xxxxxx.xxx failed* is my server I am trying to send
mail through. If I remove IP from run script, everything works fine.
If not (1), is your local client trying to connect to 127.0.0.1?
If not (2), tcpserver didn't see a connection, so you're not trying
the right IP.
(3) is an extension of (2) (i.e. check your client's settings).
If (4) is something wierd and wonderful, you need to give us the
actual error, and also some evidence that the error is qmail-ldap
related.
I think its evident from the change in run script that it works if 0 is
there in run script and stops working if insert IP in run script and
restart smptd.
