postfix/master: fatal: bind 127.0.0.1 port 125: Permission denied
| Posted by o-dog, 09-09-2008, 08:52 AM | | Hi, with CentOS 5.2 i am trying to get Postfix working on Port 125 (or other it can be any port) such that ASSP can forward to that MTA instance for relaying, however i followed the Postfix tutorial on the ASSP wiki and i get the following error in /var/log/maillog:
localhost postfix/master[1997]: fatal: bind 127.0.0.1 port 125: Permission denied
As per the wiki (http://www.asspsmtp.org/wiki/Debian_..._using_Postfix) i left the settings for Postfix as the default but changed the port number to 125 (i did the following 'yum install postix', then made that single port 125 change only), as you can see below:
Any ideas what i am doing wrong? Im pulling my hair out on this.
Many thanks
Chris

| Posted by o-dog, 09-09-2008, 01:46 PM | | Thanks for the fast reply. This is with standard yum install postfix, i am unsure of the user under which the process is running but i had assumed yum had set that up for me.
The postfix process is starting automatically, and i configure and change the settings and control postfix via '/etc/init.d/postfix restart'. Again these are defaults that yum installed.
In addition, I believe it can run on the default port 25 without issue (checking maillog before i ran ASSP it was shown to work on port 25), however it needs to be run on an alternate port as ASSP will sit on port 25 as mentioned... trouble is any other port and it bombs out with security permission denied
Really appreciate the help, if you have any more ideas that would be great.
