Alright, so I only got
Postfix for a PHP contact form that will send email to a single . I only want it to send out mail to a single external address (
[email protected]). I have domain sub1.sub2.domain.com. I installed
Postfix out of the Ubuntu repo, with minimal config changes. I cannot get
Postfix to send mail externally (though it succeeds for internal accounts, which is unnecessary).
The email simply defers if I generate an email using PHP mail(). If I try to form my own in telnet, right after rcpt to: [email]
[email protected][/email], I get a
postfix/smtpd[31606]: NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from localhost[127.0.0.1]: 550 5.1.1 <
[email protected]>: Recipient address rejected: example.com; from=<root@localhost> to=<
[email protected]> proto=ESMTP helo=<localhost>
when commenting out default_transport = error and relay_transport = error lines, I get the following:
