Hello,
I am trying to set up a new system for a new list but finding that
outgoing mail is failing.
The setup I have is FreeBSD 10.3 in a jail with localhost at
10.0.250.37. I have confirmed that routing in and out of the jail are
correct by sending mail from it via command line, via telnet, and by
posting to a newly created list. Unfortunately those messages are not
relayed out, nor are list invitations.
The system is Mailman 2.1.21, Postfix 3.1.0, and Python 2.7.11.
I see this in logs/smtp-failure:
Apr 20 23:07:27 2016 (19197) Low level smtp error: [Errno 61] Connection
refused, msgid: <mailman.0.1461205537.18941.c2-list at lists.my.domain>

code -1: [Errno 61] Connection refused

Apr 20 23:07:27 2016 (19197) Low level smtp error: [Errno 61] Connection

Apr 20 23:07:27 2016 (19197) delivery to my at email.address failed with
code -1: [Errno 61] Connection refused
Nothing shows up in Postfix logs for these refused connections.
And lots of lines that look like this in logs/post:
Apr 20 23:07:26 2016 (19197) post to c2-list from
c2-list-bounces at lists.my.domain, size=583,
message-id=<mailman.0.1461205085.18509.c2-list at lists.my.domain>, 1 failures
Scanning Google I saw issues where there were errors in /etc/hosts. That
file is world-readable and there is a correct entry for localhost. I
have also confirmed that Postfix is listening on 25 on localhost using
telnet and sockstat:
# telnet localhost 25
Trying 10.0.250.37...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 lists.my.domain ESMTP Postfix
The above works for root and for a non-root user.
# sockstat | grep 25
postfix smtpd 19679 6 tcp4 10.0.250.37:25 *:*
root master 19170 13 tcp4 10.0.250.37:25 *:*
I'm at a loss as to where to look next. Thanks for any input.
