(sorry, I have to re-send this, the single dot in a line truncated the
mail)
Dear all,
sorry if this is the wrong list to ask.
I have a freshly installed NetBSD 2.0 sparc64 machine which I want to run as a
mailman and mail server.
[17:40] root@mailhost:~ $ uname -a
NetBSD mailhost 2.0 NetBSD 2.0 (GENERIC) #0: Thu Dec 2 02:49:29 UTC 2004
builds@build:/big/builds/ab/netbsd-2-0-RELEASE/sparc64/200411300000Z-obj/big/builds/ab/netbsd-2-0-RELEASE/src/sys/arch/sparc64/compile/GENERIC sparc64
I installed postfix from the pkgsrc, which I've done several times allready on
1.6.x machines.
Configuring postfix turned out to be the first problem:
If you define
inet_interfaces = $myhostname, localhost
postfix blames you with:
Jan 6 17:31:35 mailhost postfix[28892]: fatal: parameter inet_interfaces: no
local interface found for 127.0.0.1
I tryed to get around this leaving this parameter undefined ( so use the
default which should be "all"). Instead I defined
mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8, 132.195.78.3
like this.
Now postfix comes up, but has the strange effect that he relays mail coming
from the outgoing interface (hme0 is that case), but refuses to relay when
connecting over localhost:
>[17:45] root@mailhost:/usr/pkgsrc $ telnet localhost smtp

>Connected to localhost.

Does anybody have an idea what goes wrong here?
Any hint is very much appreciated - I allready spent hours ..
Thanks a lot and best regards,
