I'm using CentOS 7. I wanted to test my PostFix mail forwarding so I ran



[root@server /]# echo "Subject: sendmail test" | sendmail -v admin@mydomein.com
Mail Delivery Status Report will be mailed to <root>.


I don't see the email received at my forwarding address and I can't figure out where the log of what happened is. I checked



[root@server /]# ls -al /var/log/maillog
-rw------- 1 root root 0 Mar 6 09:48 /var/log/maillog


But that log file is empty. How do I find out where things went wrong?




centos logs postfix

          The message you posted says the Mail Delivery Status Report will be mailed to <root>.



          I would check the root user's mail which by default should be /var/spool/mail/root.

                    Postfix configuration issue with fips on centos 7; mailgun relay

                    Image
                    Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 0 down vote favorite I am trying to setup postfix to relay all mail generated on the local machine via SMTP to a mailgun relay. I have used the mailgun relay before with success on an ubuntu server, but I am migrating to a Centos 7 server which I will be running in FIPS mode. There error log is below, slightly sanitized. I have a small enough network that I choose to have each machine reach out to mailgun individually (this the loopback-only, 127.0.0.0/8 restrictions) and no firewall open port allowing smtp in to the machine. I assume the FIPS mode (and with it disabling of MD5) is causing problems, but I don't know how to overcome it or if it is even possible for tls_fprint to use some supported hash such as sha256 or sha512. However, the relay=none is slightly concerning since I have relayhost set, but perhaps that is because the smtp process is failing? Any help would be appreciated! postconf -n: alias_database = hash:/etc/alia
