Postfix forwarder

marcelloc

Did you configured internal servers ips that can send mail to postfix forwarder?

Access List -> MyNetworks

Agrum

Hi,

I added my internal server ip and mail relay running fine. ;)

Thank you for your answer.

bye.

Agrum

An other question, why after I reboot of my firewall, Postfix is stopped (Statuts –> Services)...

I clic on ">" for start the services... but he do not start :(

I remove the package and re install it... and Postfix-Forwarder running.

What I have forgotten ? A bug ?

thank you for answers.

marcelloc

I do not have this issue on my servers.

Did you enabled postfix service?

Agrum

yes of course, in "services –> Postfix Forwarder --> General (tab) Enable Postfix box is checked.

Agrum

it's embarrasing…

To following my previous post. I install a new Pfsense (Soekrix box) up to date with Postfix-Forwarder. When I restart the firewall, Postfix-forwarder stop.
In tab, Services --> Postfix-Forwarder enable is checked
In tab, Status --> Services Postfix-Forwarder is stopped and I cannot enable it !

I desintall, reinstall package (System –> Package) and I enable Postfix-Forwader... it running fine !

How I can fix this, force Postfix-Forwarder be enable after reboot ?

thank-you.

marcelloc

What version of pfsense are you running?

Any log ?

marcelloc

that's nanobsd.

Nanobsd cleans /var every boot so that's why you can't get it working.

I'll include some version and dirs checks to fix it.

Agrum

You going to correct this ?

marcelloc

@Agrum:

You going to correct this ?

Yes :)

Agrum

You are the best.

Can you inform me when fix it's ok ?

Thanks

@Agrum:

I've just pushed some dir checks to this package, try to reinstall in abount 15 minutes.

Thanks for your feedback.

Agrum

I just uninstall / reinstall package, after reboot:

It's the same version number –> v.2.3.3_1 Normal ?

/var/db/postfix YES created
/var/spool/postfix NOT created
/var/mail/postfix NOT created

Here is the problem no… folder are not created... how I can help you ?

marcelloc

The package try to create these folders, can you check if /var/spool and /var/mail exists.

Agrum

they don't exist

my shell:
[2.0.1-RELEASE][admin@beaver.arf.com]/var/spool(10): ls -lrt
total 2
drwxr-xr-x 16 root postfix 512 Mar 22 08:43 postfix
[2.0.1-RELEASE][admin@beaver.arf.com]/var/spool(11):

marcelloc

ok.

The mkdir will do it recursive.

Agrum

ok, can I solve it ?
