Qmail outgoing IP

[BudutzUs]

Ok I got a weird problem:

Qmail's outgoing IP address it's the one from eth0:1 instead of eth0 after we added 3 extra IP addresses.

I modified the entries in /etc/xinetd.d/smtp_psa and added bind to eth0 IP, it binds successfully but upon communicating to other SMTP addresses it's still going nanners and connects from the eth0:1 IP.

Any ideeas?

I guess qmail outgoing IP patch it's out of the question on Plesk right?

Please don't confuse binded address with the outgoing address.

Greetings:

Have you set up a /var/qmail/control/outgoingip file that contains the IP address you want qmail to use?

If not, then create one (plain text, just one line with the IP address); and restart qmail.

Thank you.

same thing

 

[dynamicnet]

Greetings:

What is the output of


netstat -lntpe | grep ":25"

and

netstat -anp | grep ":25"


NOTE: If, for privacy purposes, you change the IP addresses listed which are yours, please do clear designate which one is eth0:0, eth0:1, and so on.

Also, if you leave the IP addresses "as is," please specify which one is eth0:0, eth0:1, etc.

Thank you.

Qmail is listens to eth0 IP only and still goes out on eth0:1 IP even I specified the eth0:1 ip on /var/qmail/control/outgoingip

 

[dynamicnet]

Greetings:

1. If you want the ip to be eth0:0 then put eth0:0's IP in /var/qmail/control/outgoingip and restart qmail.

In your reply, yous stated you have eth0:1 in the outgoing IP.

2. If you want additional help, I asked questions you avoided.

Please consider reviewing the netstat questions, and responding if #1 doesn't work.

Thank you.

So I added the IP: xx.xx.xx.194 to the /var/qmail/control/outgoingip and the restarted xinetd and qmail. I still have a ton of connects on my other IP even after restarting the network, I even bound using bind = xx.xx.xx.194 in my smtp_psa, please help. I need to bind this to the specific ip:

Starting xinetd: [ OK ]
[root@jasmine xinetd.d]# service qmail restart
Starting qmail: [ OK ]
[root@jasmine xinetd.d]# netstat -anp | grep ":25"

QMail Change IP Plesk 8.6 on Mediatemple DV

I spent ages trying to solve this same problem for Plesk 8.6 on Mediatemple DV, and the instructions on the Parallels site weren't helping. Finally, the instructions here worked for me: https://support.bodhost.com/index.p...-used-for-outgoing-connections-from-my-server

Here is the text:

The default IP for outgoing connections can be set using the "ip" utility. Check how routing is configured on the server:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
[root@server]#/sbin/ip route
191.255.255.0/24 dev venet0 scope host
169.254.0.0/16 dev venet0 scope link
default via 191.255.255.1 dev venet0
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If no "src" is listed in the "ip" output for the default route, the main IP on the interface is used for outgoing connections.

To change Plesk default Mail IP address, check ifconfig on the server first as :

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
[root@server]#ifconfig
lo Link encap:Local Loopback
inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0
inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host
UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1
RX packets:98728 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:98728 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:0
RX bytes:161811920 (154.3 MiB) TX bytes:161811920 (154.3 MiB)

venet0:0 Link encap:UNSPEC HWaddr 00-00-00-00-00-01-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00
inet addr:xxx.xxx.xxx.xx1 P-t-P:213.175.218.180 Bcast:xxx.xxx.xxx.xx1 Mask:xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
UP BROADCAST POINTOPOINT RUNNING NOARP MTU:1500 Metric:1

venet0:1 Link encap:UNSPEC HWaddr 00-00-00-00-01-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00
inet addr:xxx.xxx.xxx.xx2 P-t-P:213.175.218.181 Bcast:xxx.xxx.xxx.xx2 Mask:xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
UP BROADCAST POINTOPOINT RUNNING NOARP MTU:1500 Metric:1
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Change the mail IP address through following command as :
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
[root@server]#/sbin/ip route change default via 191.255.255.1 dev venet0:1 src xxx.xxx.xxx.xx2

now verify the mail IP address :
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
[root@server]#/sbin/ip route
191.255.255.0/24 dev venet0 scope host
169.254.0.0/16 dev venet0 scope link
default via 191.255.255.1 dev venet0 src xxx.xxx.xxx.xx2
[root@server]#
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Thank you

what about ipv6? ip route change default chage only for ipv4 gmail and hotmail is showing always ipv6 ip

 

[AYamshanov]

Hi solucionesuno,

Did you try a command `/sbin/ip -6 route change default ...`? What does it return?
