EFA-3.0.2.6 - Fails to relay to smart host unless rebooted
Posted: 27 Jan 2019 04:01
Hello experts,
I am hoping that someone will be able to help me.
I am running with EFA version 3.0.2.6, I have configured EFA to use a Smart host.
Having spoken to my SMTP provider (Turbo SMTP) they had advised that the following settings should be used:
create a password maps file, for example /etc/postfix/relay_passwd:
smtp.smarthostname.example.com USERNAME:PASSWORD"
Ensure the file has the correct permissions and to create the hash from the maps file by executing:
chown root:root /etc/postfix/relay_passwd
chmod 600 /etc/postfix/relay_passwd
postmap /etc/postfix/relay_passwd
Add the following line to /etc/postfix/main.cf
relayhost = SMARTHOST:587
Finally add to /etc/postfix/main.cf below the "relayhost =" line:
smtp_sasl_auth_enable = yes
smtp_sasl_password_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/relay_passwd
smtp_sasl_security_options =
Restart Postfix for the changes to take effect: /etc/init.d/postfix restart
as outlined here: https://kb.spamexperts.com/36458-mta-co ... entication
Having followed these steps, I am finding that emails arrive into the Postfix queue, but then just sit there, unless I reboot the EFA host (restarting postfix or mailscanner on there own has no effect).
But then the same issue occurs with new emails being sent, anyone have any thoughts on what could be causing this to occur?
Thanks in advance
Sunny
