[AMaViS-user] OT: Postfix problem I am hoping you can help with
I am trying to get out Postfix server to send AOL mail to our ISP rather than directly to AOL as they insist on bouncing our mail if we send directly. I am editing the transport files with the following lines... aol.com smtp:smtp.nildram.co.uk .aol.comsmtp:smtp.nildram.co.uk gmail.com smtp:smtp.nildram.co.uk With the gmail one there so I can test it is working, unfortunately after a postfix restart it is still sending the mail directly. I am also a little concerned that the transport file has the following at the top of it... # # MTA Managment Transport List; # # Please do NOT edit it manually; # So where am I supposed to edit it? Can anyone help as this is driving me crazy. -- Jay -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.

If the mail is being bounced then something isn't right. My users send e-mail regularly to AOL without any issues so you may want to first find out why it's being bounced before trying to route mail through another server which may not resolve your problem but only delay the bounce itself.

Re: [AMaViS-user] OT: Postfix problem I am hoping you can help with
The problem you have with AOL is probably the fact that they will not accept
mail
from a mailserver without a reverse DNS entry.
Nildram do not assign one by default, but you can ask them to, and your
problems will
go away, as far as your users wanting to send mail to AOL is concerned.
Your problem that you have users who want to send to AOL will however remain
smile
I believe you can email nildrams hostmaster team at [EMAIL PROTECTED] or
ring their support number.
On the transport maps issue you do need to do a postmap.
Also if you want the entry to work it would look something like this:
some-domain.com smtp:{some.smtp-server.com]:25
if smtp.nildram.co.uk is the correct relay (I don't know, I have not used it)
then you should write:
aol.com smtp:[smtp.nildram.co.uk]:25
which then gets postfix to ignore MX lookups. You would then need to to the
postmap thing.
Kind regards
