You're one step ahead of me in that I haven't even configured postfix once, |
15 |
but any MTAs that I have configured would generate copious logs with errors |
16 |
when things borked. If you don't want to share these and the error is not |
17 |
obvious, then try replicating the postfix steps using telnet, or nc, or |
18 |
openssl s_client to see what the ISP's server returns. Some ISPs change ports |
19 |
(e.g. disable port 25) to minimised spam sent by botnets, so that's the first |
20 |
thing I would check. |
