Re: Not getting email from our firewall

>are you trying to have hula relay the mail?
Not that i know of as it just is to send mail to a user on
the box but
that user does not get the email. When users send mail using
Hula, they
have to supply their passowrd. So when the firewall tries to
send the
mail, it does not supply a password. Could this be the
problem?

smtp authentication should only be required on relay.  the
reason it is 
that way is so that i can drop mail off on your server as i
don't have a 
username and password on your box.

you know who the messsage comes from right?  try to send the
mail via a 
telnet session and see what happens. text between < >
characters are 
user supplied options (without the <> chars).

telnet <hulaserveripaddr> 25
helo <fromserveripaddr>
mail from: <fromaddress>
rcpt to: <destinationaddr>
data
test
test
test
.

that conversation should drop a message off in
destinationaddr's 
mailbox.  there is no date so it will show up messed up in
the box.  
hopefully we'll see the error.  as the logging in hula is a
little 
messed up if this doesn't work we may need to do a packet
sniff or 
something to see what is happening.

if you want interactive help, most of the active people hang
out in 
#bongo on irc.oftc.net .  most everyone in there is either
US or UK but 
there are often times people on at odd hours.

You shouldn't need to supply a password to simply deliver
the mail. 

The best thing probably would be to try to get a trace of
the SMTP
conversation that happens between your firewall and mail
server - that
ought to reveal exactly what's happening. My personal bet
would be the
firewall not forwarding the mail correctly, but it could be
a number of
things.

You might want to try something like dsniff
<ht
tp://www.monkey.org/~dugsong/dsniff/faq.html> which
comes with a
program called mailsnarf - this will allow you to dump out
the SMTP
transaction without having to recompile your Hula.

Cheers,

Alex.
