postfix through TOR DNS.

[Sthu Deus <sthu.deus@gmail.com>]

Good time of the day.


I'm trying to make postfix resolving domain addresses through TOR
service. And it works for other programs, like, say aptitude that
resolves names then uses FTP connection or a browser - that goes to
web through privoxy+TOR, but postfix keeps giving me

Host or domain name not found. Name service error for name=HOSTNAME
type=MX: Host not found, try again)

In nat table i have:

/sbin/iptables -t nat -A OUTPUT -p udp -m udp --dport 53 -j REDIRECT
--to-ports 53

In filter/nat tables I see that postfix makes attempts to resolve the
domain: i see in filter OUTPUT chain that postfix sends packets to
127.0.0.1:53

and in nat OUTPUT i see its packets also (checked w/ "owner" module),

finally i see packets arriving in filter INPUT on 53-rd port.

So, i suppose that all should work - but it does not.

Do you have an idea what can wrong?

Or may you have experience w/ TOR and other applications that it would
not resolve names for?

Please, any ideas that may help.

Thanks for Your time.


Sthu.
