Postfix problem receiving email to relay

Any chance that you are experiencing packet loss or something like that?

From the first one, which is a copier, yes. That is why I did a test send in owncloud. That is a VM on the same hypervisor..

NIC on the fritz?

VM to VM on the same HV would bypass that, even if the NIC caught fire and was in a pile of goo.

JaredBusch

Any clue of another log to look into? Server was rebooted, drive space is stupid extra. because when the VM was created, I apparently neglected to change the Hyper-V default of 127GB

The yum.log went from Feb 23 to March 4, so I would say nothing there.

Do you have any TLS here? Any cert expire?

JaredBusch

Not yet for postfix. That is on my to do list, https://mangolassi.it/topic/12545/how-do-i-setup-tls-on-a-postfix-relay

Maybe your firewall is blocking connection. Try to stop firewall and check if it works. Maybe you or somebody else changed some rules.

scottalanmiller

The odd part is that the initial connection works, then it drops afterwards.

right. that is what has me confused.

No one else even knows how to handle this.

Related note, I need to get more documentation in place.

JaredBusch

firewalld has port 25 allowed.

Postfix config has not been touched since setup a year ago.

Is there any filtering in postfix, like amavis, spamassassin?

JaredBusch

nope.

JaredBusch

And problem resolved.

On the 1st, the damned DHCP lease had failed again due to the mysterious time drift issues I have been tracking down in another thread.

But I needed this system up so I launched nmtui and set a static IP.... Wait for it.. to 10.201.1.12/32

/fucking sigh....

I also enabled the Time Synchronization in Hyper-V on March 1st. As soon as I fixed the /32, this morning, the Hyper-V integration started fixing the time every 5 seconds.. screw that. Turned it back off. I will count on chronyd it works well as long as the IP stays online.
