  • Gateway outbound email...

    From Martin Kazmaier@1:340/1101 to All on Tue Oct 31 21:28:00 2023
    Ok, I'm sending the netmail to UUCP@ the gateway address with the first line
    of the messsage including the To: field. What else should I need to do?

    to do?

    I've got inbound mail gating from the POP3 server, but the SMTP server is
    never connected to. I've tried both the hostname and the internal IP address. I'm using a non-standard port, my ISP blocks port 25, so I've got my mx
    record pointing to another server that is relaying to my SMTP server successfully. I'm connecting to mine on port 940. I can receive messages,
    but nothing even tries to go out. I'm sure it's a configuration error, but I don't know what I'm doing wrong.

    Aha! I had the message type for netmail set to .msg and was running fastecho pack on them, making them unusable to irex. Now that I've stopped packing netmail, the gating is working. I just have to figure out why my messages aren't posting. I think it's one of DKIM, DMARC or SPF records issues.
