I have two separate servers, both running Ubuntu 8.04.
Server 1 has the real domain name of our site, let's refer to it as example.com. Server 2 is a mail server I have setup with postfix/courier. The hostname for this server is mail.example.com.
I've setup iptables on Server 1 to forward all traffic on port 25 to Server 2. I used this script (except I changed the target ip address and the port from 80 to 25).
When I send an email to
[email protected] it works. However, when I try to send an email to
[email protected] from
gmail, I get this error:
550 550 #5.1.0 Address rejected
[email protected] (state 14)
/var/log/mail.log shows no new lines when this happens.
What is strange is that it works with telnet from my local machine. For example:
$ telnet example.com 25

/var/log/mail.log shows success (and the email goes to the maildr):

iptables -L -n -v --line on example.com yields the following. Anyone know an iptables command to see the port forwarding? Also, it seems to accept all traffic, that's probably bad right? ;]
