postfix multiple IP SMTP banner

Question

I've installed postfix 2.11.3 and we have multiple IP addresses on our server which we want to host two domains, isolated and running on their own IPs.

domain1  unix -       -       n       -       -       smtp
   -o smtp_bind_address=1.1.1.1
   -o smtp_helo_name=mail.abc.com
   -o syslog_name=postfix-mail.abc.com

domain2  unix -       -       n       -       -       smtp
   -o smtp_bind_address=2.2.2.2
   -o smtp_helo_name=mail.xyz.com
   -o syslog_name=postfix-mail.xyz.com

Following transporter /etc/postfix/sender_transport also defined in main.cf:

@abc.com    domain1:
@xyz.com    domain2:

After restarting postfix, it stopped listening on port 25:

[[email protected]]# telnet 1.1.1.1 25
Trying 1.1.1.1...
telnet: connect to address 1.1.1.1: Connection refused

But if I use following line in master.cf it listen on 25 and i can see banner if i telnet:

1.1.1.1:smtp inet  n - n - - smtpd -o myhostname=mail.abc.com 
2.2.2.2:smtp inet  n - n - - smtpd -o myhostname=mail.xyz.com

But I want to tell my mail server when you send out email use specific domain just like sender_transport

What i am doing wrong?

Notes:

I have removed following line from master.cf and replaced with above domain1 and domain2:

smtp      inet  n       -       n       -       -       smtpd

Solution

Solution - Postfix version 2.7 or above required:

/etc/postfix/master.cf

#smtp      inet  n       -       n       -       -       smtpd
127.0.0.1:smtp inet  n     -       n       -       -       smtpd
      -o syslog_name=postfix-localhost
      -o smtp_helo_name=localhost
      -o smtp_bind_address=127.0.0.1
      -o myhostname=localhost

65.xxx.xxx.100:smtp inet  n     -       n       -       -       smtpd
      -o syslog_name=postfix-mail.abc.com
      -o smtp_helo_name=mail.abc.com
      -o smtp_bind_address=65.xxx.xxx.100
      -o myhostname=mail.abc.com

65.xxx.xxx.200:smtp inet  n     -       n       -       -       smtpd
      -o syslog_name=postfix-mail.xyz.com
      -o smtp_helo_name=mail.zyx.com
      -o smtp_bind_address=65.xxx.xxx.200
      -o myhostname=mail.xyz.com

abc-out  unix -       -       n       -       -       smtp
   -o smtp_bind_address=65.xxx.xxx.100
   -o smtp_helo_name=mail.abc.com
   -o syslog_name=postfix-mail.abc.com

xyz-out  unix -       -       n       -       -       smtp
   -o smtp_bind_address=65.xxx.xxx.200
   -o smtp_helo_name=mail.xyz.com
   -o syslog_name=postfix-mail.xyz.com

/etc/postfix/main.cf

sender_dependent_default_transport_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/sender_transport

/etc/postfix/sender_transport

# Use source IP - 65.xxx.xxx.100
@abc.com                abc-out:
@example.com            abc-out:

# Use source IP - 65.xxx.xxx.200 
@xyz.com                xyz-out:

Run command to generate hash db

postmap hash:/etc/postfix/sender_transport

Restart/Reload postfix

service postfix reload

Any error lines in maillog after you restart postfix??

[Satish]

Yes, restarted and nothing in logs, I have very good knowledge of qmail mail and mail services so i have checked all basic stuff, I am new with postfix so bit confused, I think we need 1.1.1.1:smtp line without that it is not going to listen on 25 port, Now i have put both entries domain1/2 with ipaddress:smtp now it is listening on both IPs. but issue is when i am sending email from xyz.com it is default using 1.1.1.1 IP that means it is not looking into sender_transport file.

This is what i am trying to do but it didn't work wied.it/blog/…

I'm trying the same but hitting a configuration conflict with the default directives Ubuntu uses in master.cf. There is a conflicting smtp listener for the main IP address. How do you deactivate the default SMTP service? This is also for a system using amavis.
