My postfix (V: 2.5.5-1.1) running on ubuntu server (9.04) started to reject mail arriving in from outside about 2 weeks ago.
Doing a "manual" session via telnet shows that the connection is always closed after the
MAIL FROM:
[email protected]
line is input, with the message "Connection closed by foreign host."
Doing the same from another client inside the LAN works fine.
In the log
files I get the line "lost connection after MAIL from xxxxx.tld[xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx]"
This is after some lines like:
match_hostaddr: XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX ~? [::1]/128
match_hostname: XXXX.tld ~? 192.168.1.0/24
...
match_list_match: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx: no match
which seem to suggest some kind of filter which checks for allowed addresses. I have been unable to
locate where this filter lives, or how to turn it off.
I'm not even sure if that's what's causing my problem. Connections from inside the LAN don't get disconnected even though they also show a "match_list_match: ... no match" line.
I didn't change any configuration
files recently, below is my main.cf as it currently stands. I don't really know what all the parameters do and how they interact. I just set it up initially and it worked fine (up to recently).
smtpd_banner = $myhostname ESMTP $mail_name (GNU)

smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_mynetworks,permit_sasl_authenticated,reject_unauth_
when checking the process list, postfix/smtpd runs as
smtpd -n smtp -t inet -u -c -o stress -v -v
Any clues?
