| Amgine | How do I troubleshoot why my server does not send e-mail? | 21:34 |
|---|---|---|
| Seveas | Amgine: look in the logs. | 21:34 |
| Amgine | <hmms> postfix/master[10203]: fatal: bind 0.0.0.0 port 25: Address already in use | 21:36 |
| Seveas | netstat -pltn | 21:37 |
| Seveas | or the modern equivalent, ss -pltn | 21:38 |
| Amgine | https://dpaste.de/U9pR | 21:43 |
| Seveas | yeah, needs sudo to actually get the processes | 21:44 |
| Amgine | moment. | 21:47 |
| Amgine | https://dpaste.de/hrVE | 21:49 |
| Seveas | so postfix is running | 21:49 |
| Seveas | that 'fatal' line was probably caused by someone/something trying to start postfix when it was already running. Harmless | 21:50 |
| Amgine | kk. Let me test again with mail | 21:51 |
| Seveas | how are you testing? | 21:52 |
| Amgine | mail -s "Test subject" email@address.tld | 21:55 |
| Amgine | And it's getting deferred/refused by my hosted mail service. <grumbles> | 21:56 |
| rbasak | "swaks" is good for testing MTAs | 21:57 |
| Seveas | s/good/awesome/ | 21:57 |
| rbasak | Speaks SMTP directly to what you want it to speak to | 21:57 |
| Seveas | Amgine: is this server in a datacenter or at home? | 21:58 |
| Amgine | at home. | 21:58 |
| Seveas | yeah, forget it then. Most mail providers blacklist home IP's | 21:58 |
| Amgine | Ah. Well, that sucks. | 21:58 |
| Seveas | get a $1/month vps :) | 21:59 |
| Amgine | The goal for this project was to self-host a privacy-oriented service - friendica. | 22:02 |
| rbasak | I use my (small, privately owned, anti-surveillance) ISP's SMTP server and host my own IMAP server. | 22:11 |
| * rbasak doesn't mind surveillance-when-with-a-court-issued-warrant, but considers any other sort of surveillance wrong. | 22:12 | |
| * rbasak appears to be living in the wrong country :-( | 22:13 | |
| rbasak | (and of course my ISP can see my SMTP traffic anyway) | 22:15 |
| Seveas | and you users' IPS's can as well | 22:17 |
| Amgine | Gosh I love how attempting fix one thing breaks many others. But yes, I'm not too worried about the privacy thing, just annoyed by the blacklisting of user IPs. | 22:23 |
| Seveas | Amgine: it's tremendously useful in battling spam though | 22:26 |
| Amgine | I didn't say I'm opposed to it, just annoyed. On another hand, it *does* mean the mail system is now a private club. | 22:27 |
| Seveas | not really, anyine can spin up a vps somewhere and send mail | 22:32 |
