I got all the way through, but only on mx4.hotmail.com. No joy on mx1. Is there anyway I can force postfix to use mx4 or is it just pot-luck which server I get?
make sure you have:
transport_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/transport
in /etc/postfix/main.cf then add to /etc/postfix/transport:
hotmail.com smtp:[mx4.hotmail.com]
then run: # postmap /etc/postfix/transport # postfix check # postfix reload
(though you would be better off if you could rely on the mx records for hotmail.com...)
fwiw, mx1.hotmail.com times out on connect: postfix should be trying other mx's. but i see that hotmail lists them all at the same preference. odd.
That worked to connect to mx4 but unfortunately I'm still getting the same message from hotmail:-
Sep 27 11:35:17 ben postfix/smtp[16249]: 065813B4E0: to=cowboy_bob500@hotmail.com, relay=mx4.hotmail.com[65.54.254.151], delay=41, status=deferred (lost connection with mx4.hotmail.com[65.54.254.151] while sending MAIL FROM)
Don't know why it works manually via telnet but postfix gets cut off. Grrr. Damn Microsoft...
Thanks for the help,
Matt
