Not getting email from our firewall

Hello all! I would like to know how to accept mail from our firewall? We
use r1201 and i know it is not accepting the mail from our firewall because i can change the send logs smtp field in our firewall to a different smtp server and then we get the email from the firewall. I gues it might be that to send smtp via hula, you have to authenticate and this device does not authenticate but i might be wrong. How to overcome this so we get email from our firewall?

are you trying to have hula relay the mail? if the mail is destined for
a user on the box itself it should come through great. pat carnold5@... wrote: > Hello all! I would like to know how to accept mail from our firewall?

smtp authentication should only be required on relay. the reason it is
that way is so that i can drop mail off on your server as i don't have a username and password on your box. you know who the messsage comes from right? try to send the mail via a telnet session and see what happens. text between < > characters are user supplied options (without the <> chars). telnet <hulaserveripaddr> 25 helo <fromserveripaddr> mail from: <fromaddress> rcpt to: <destinationaddr> data test test test . that conversation should drop a message off in destinationaddr's mailbox. there is no date so it will show up messed up in the box. hopefully we'll see the error. as the logging in hula is a little messed up if this doesn't work we may need to do a packet sniff or something to see what is happening. if you want interactive help, most of the active people hang out in #bongo on irc.oftc.net . most everyone in there is either US or UK but there are often times people on at odd hours. pat carnold5@... wrote: >> are you trying to have hula relay the mail? >> > Not that i know of as it just is to send mail to a user on the box but > that user does not get the email.

You shouldn't need to supply a password to simply deliver the mail. The best thing probably would be to try to get a trace of the SMTP conversation that happens between your firewall and mail server - that ought to reveal exactly what's happening. My personal bet would be the firewall not forwarding the mail correctly, but it could be a number of things. You might want to try something like dsniff <http://www.monkey.org/~dugsong/dsniff/faq.html> which comes with a program called mailsnarf - this will allow you to dump out the SMTP transaction without having to recompile your Hula. Cheers, Alex. _______________________________________________ Hula-general mailing list Hula-general@... http://forge.novell.com/mailman/listinfo/hula-general |

not sure but it looks like the connmgr has the reverse dns turned on and
that the ptr isn't set up right for that host. if this is the case you can either set the ptr up in dns, add an entry for that server to /etc/hosts, or turn off the reverse dns module for the connection manager agent pat carnold5@... wrote: >> you know who the messsage comes from right? >> > I do, it comes from the hostanme of the firewall (host.domain.com) > > >> telnet <hulaserveripaddr> 25 >> helo <fromserveripaddr> >> mail from: <fromaddress> >> rcpt to: <destinationaddr> >> data >> test >> test >> test >> > I did this and here is what i got: > helo <ip of hula server> > mail from: firewallname.domain.com > 553 Your computer does not have a hostname, you must AUTHenticate > > I tried other mail from: addresses and got the same error.
