Postfix not playing nice

I've searched all over the place to find a solution but with no luck Pease help

Here is a output from the /var/log/maillog

Now I’m completely confused

Thanks tasaro for your help

Try looking at the last line and figure out what it's trying to connect to and why it's failing.

"conection refused" looks like a port is closed, which looks weird because it comes from 127.0.0.1 (localhost).

I never see 127.0.0.1 in my postfix logs.

"connect to jwservices.ath.cx[125.238.160.65]: Connection refused) " look like outward ports are blocked too.

Hi there,

I've checked my router, and ports 21,22,25,80,110 are all being forwarded to the box, thats what is confusing to me

for your info jwservices.ath.cx is the domain that i'm using which is updated via dyndns

So what's the setup here, the linode takes the mail then sends it to another box?

my mail is sent to linode which is then sent ot my own server at home

are u sure ur isp doesnt filter out 25 at home? Most isps ive been with, granted im in australia, seem to filter out 25/80 to prevent spamming etc.. might be worth trying to netcat from ur linode to ur server, or even nmaping to see if the ports are actually open

@Internat:

are u sure ur isp doesnt filter out 25 at home?
