smtpd banner with wrong hostname

Post by fferraro87 »

Hi,
i've add a domain on efa server, but when i try to send an email from another mail server on the same subnet, i've this error :

Code: Select all

Jan 10 11:58:53 mail05-levita postfix/smtp[5569]: 30E6541E6C55: to=<mariachiara.gentile@3bgroup.it>, relay=mx.3bgroup.it[185.96.217.11]:25, delay=0.37, delays=0.01/0.01/0.22/0.13, dsn=4.7.1, status=deferred (host mx.3bgroup.it[185.96.217.11] said: 450 4.7.1 Client host rejected: cannot find your reverse hostname, [172.16.70.254] (in reply to RCPT TO command))
so i've seen this viewtopic.php?f=5&t=2829&p=11249&hilit= ... ted#p11249.
i've enabled full recursion dns and also put on sender server an entry on /etc/hosts but i've still same problem.
So i've try to contact mx.3bgroup.it by telnet on port 25 and i've this welcome message

Code: Select all

220 lev-mail-01.inlevita.it ESMTP Postfix
that is different to my efa server welcome message that is this

Code: Select all

220 proxy.levita.cloud ESMTP Postfix

185.96.217.11 is my efa server and has a right PTR.
so "Client host rejected" i think that can be caused because of this mismatching of welcome message.
Why i don't have the welcome message of efa server?
Thanks

ok i've try to connect via telnet to mx.3bgroup.it on port 25 from another mail server on the same subnet and the smptd banner is right :

Code: Select all

[root@mail ~]# telnet mx.3bgroup.it 25
Trying 185.96.217.11...
Connected to mx.3bgroup.it.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 proxy.levita.cloud ESMTP Postfix
ehlo sender.it

250 2.1.0 Ok
rcpt to:<test@3bgroup.it>
450 4.7.1 Client host rejected: cannot find your reverse hostname, [172.16.70.254]
quit
221 2.0.0 Bye
Connection closed by foreign host.
172.16.70.254 is the gateway of server sender. (and this is behind NAT)

can you resolve any (reverse) hostname on this machine? ( use dig or host)

no: fix dns
yes: see https://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/postfix_restrictions

yeah i can resolve any hostname so it isn't dns problem.

ok, i've already see postfix restrictions, i think that the problem is when sender server (zimbra) check the fcrdns, so i've to whitelist this check.
or maybe it's a problem on my efa server? on my postfix config on webmin i've put on my local networks also 185.96.217.0/24 (public subnet) and 172.16.70.0/24 (private subnet)
