Upgraded Postfix, Relay Is Broken Now

  • 772

I upgraded from Debian 5 to Debian 6, and in doing so went from Postfix 2.5.5 to 2.7.1. I'm using MySQL as a backend for virtual domains/mailboxes.

After the upgrade, I'm able to receive mail from outside sources, but when I try to relay outbound mail, I'm getting 554 Relay access denied. Here's what I think are the relevant configuration parameters in my main.cf:

mydestination =
relayhost = # using virtuals
mynetworks = all
smtpd_recipient_restrictions =
    reject_invalid_hostname,
    reject_unknown_recipient_domain,
    reject_unauth_pipelining,
    permit_mynetworks,
    permit_sasl_authenticated,
    #reject_unauth_destination,
    check_relay_domains,
    reject_non_fqdn_recipient,
    permit

smtpd_sender_restrictions =
    permit_sasl_authenticated,
    permit_mynetworks,
    reject_non_fqdn_sender,
    reject_unknown_sender_domain,
    reject_unauth_pipelining,
    permit

Can someone please help me to understand what might have changed in the upgrade that would cause this to break?

virtualization mysql debian smtp postfix

    It looks like mynetworks = all is no longer a valid setting. Changed this to mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8, restarted postfix, and it's working again.
