Resolution
- ConsoleOne | Properties of the GWIA | GroupWise | Network Addresses | Select Bind Exclusively to TCP/IP Address
- Select Apply and then Close.
- Verify the GWIA is listening on port 25 for the IP address of the server:
netstat -peanut | grep -i :25 | grep -i listen
tcp 0 0 151.155.215.91:25 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 0 2589049 24549/gwia
tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:25 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 0 9949 4061/master
tcp 0 0 ::1:25 :::* LISTEN 0 9951 4061/master - If necessary, restart the GWIA:
rcgrpwise restart <gwia.domain>
Cause
GWIA is not binding to the IP address of the server.
Additional Information
It is acceptable for /master or postfix to be listening on port 25 using localhost or 127.0.0.1; however, it is important the GWIA is able to bind to port 25 for the local or public IP address of the server. See TID 7012749 for more information.
