Postfix "relayhost" configuration
by jessie1 from LinuxQuestions.org on (#4R1ME)
Hello
I have just installed a postfix server into a virtual machine on my PC but I can not configure it to send emails to my work email through the company mail server.
Installed OS: Oracle linux 8.0
Vm: Vmware Esxi 6.5, running on a windows PC
Postfix-3.3.1-8.el8.x86_64
Initially I received the error below when I attempted to send a mail;
send-mail: warning: /etc/postfix/main.cf, line 340: overriding earlier entry: relayhost=[****.ne.jp.]:465
postdrop: warning: /etc/postfix/main.cf, line 340: overriding earlier entry: relayhost=[****.ne.jp.]:465
After editing the configuration file,when I run the mailq command after attempting to send a mail, I see the following error message;
5F63D30A7F30 430 Tue Sep 24 11:58:59 root@localdomain.com
(unknown mail transport error).
I am confused because I am thinking the above error has to do with email aliases but I have not set any.
I have read that I need to correctly edit the "relayhost" portion of the main.cf file but I dont know what I am doing wrong as I am new to this.
Any help in plain English with regards to this problem will be appreciated.
Thank you in advance.
