I have installed postfix on my Ubuntu server. I want it to send mail to my subscribers on the blog. I have installed the SMTP plugin for wordpress so its not using php mail. But any time anybody signs up to the blog so they can comment i get a error in my mail.log file.



disconnect from localhost[127.0.0.1]


No idea. It just wont send any mail. The test mail seems to work all the time without TLS and sometimes without it. Its flaky. The plugin is a good one and is used on lots of blogs and sites so there is no problem with that.

This is the settings for the plugin. And the test email at the top works if I fire one off to my gmail account. No idea why it wont work when people sign up to the blog though? Mus be something in my Postfix configs but then why does it work when sending a test mail?



Any ideas thanks?



EDIT: This is a test of MX records on mxtoolbox.com

Is your Postfix working correctly?



On a console try:




telnet localhost 25




After you have established the connection to your postfix mail server type




ehlo localhost




If you see the lines



250-STARTTLS
250-AUTH



among others, everything is working.



Type quit to return to the system's shell.
