Relay access denied when using SMTP to external recipients

So postfix to work fine fonaly i use this into my lan, but when i go out of my office and i to connect width my notebook by dialup internt connection i can't to send email to external at my domain, becouse i recived the error 554 relay access denied

 

Im having a much the same problem.

This is the error I am getting:

But when I try and send using my working computer (the one I work off to create solutions to things etc) it comes up with the above message, but when I tried going to send a test email to my gmail.com address from work, it works fine.

Can someone shed some light on as to why this should work and the one from my LAN doesnt?

Its kinda weird lol, any helps wonderfully appreciated though as usual!

Jeremy.

 

Please make sure that "Server requires authentication" is enabled in your email client.

 

How come this didnt happen before?

Like previously I used to send out emails without having to do this, just curious really though not complaining (have always generally done that anyways so doesnt really bother me).

Anyways take care and thanks,
Jez

 

If the client PC is listed in mynetworks in /etc/postfix/main.cf, then the client PC doesn't have to authenticate.

 

Ahh ok, but (not that I have been making notes if I have or not being doing this lol), but did this start just happening or would it always have done?

Just out of interest.

Very informative though thanks falko, your a pure genius!

 

Virtual Domain can't send to outside

Dear All

I am a newbie of postfix .
now I have a mail server using Virtual Users And Domains With Postfix, Courier And MySQL (+ SMTP-AUTH, Quota, SpamAssassin, ClamAV) on Ubuntu 10.0.4.

First everything working fine if I using only a single domain(ex: primary.com) .
but after that I hosting a virtual domain (ex, myvirtual.com), myvirtual.com can revice email but can't send to outside world (and I got error msg like below )
Dec 26 11:34:35 mail postfix/smtpd[1741]: NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from unknown[203.144.95.155]: 554 5.7.1 <[email protected]>: Relay access denied; from=<[email protected]> to=<[email protected]> proto=ESMTP helo=<BlueSky007>

any one please help me to resolve this problem .

I am looking forwards to hearing from you soon.
Thank you beforehand

 

Did you enable "Server requires authentication" in your email client?

 

Same problem here. Relay access denied.

This server has been running for over 6 months with no issues. About 5 days ago my customers were no longer able to send emails.

Yes, they all have "My outbound server requires authentication", and have had since the beginning.

There have been no updates installed for about 2 months.

Used tutorial at http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-server-ubuntu-10.10-maverick-meerkat-ispconfig-3

The Outlook Clients pass the "Send/Receive" test built into the client, but continue to receive Relay access denied.

Ubuntu Server 10.10
ISPConfig 3

 

Are there any errors in your mail log (in the /var/log/ directory)?

What's the output of

Code:

netstat -tap

?

This might be the problem.

Jan 9 19:10:03 ISPCONFIG postfix/smtp[12717]: 9D04220682: to=, relay=none, delay=0.12, delays=0.07/0.02/0.04/0, dsn=5.4.4, status=bounced (Host or domain name not found. Name service error for name=ISPCONFIG.familymullen.org type=A: Host not found)

"familymullen.org" was the name assigned to the server when I installed ISPCONFIG at home.

I have checked the following files and the hostname is correct.
/etc/hostname, /etc/hosts

The domain, familymullen.org is not hosted on this server.

 

Can you check if all your mysql*.cf files in the /etc/postfix/ directory use the line

Code:

hosts = 127.0.0.1

instead of

Code:

hosts = localhost

?

 

All of the mysql*.cf files use the line:

Hosts = 127.0.0.1

Files checked:


root@ISPCONFIG:/# find -name mysql*.cf
./etc/postfix/mysql-virtual_mailboxes.cf
./etc/postfix/mysql-virtual_email2email.cf
./etc/postfix/mysql-virtual_domains.cf
./etc/postfix/mysql-virtual_relayrecipientmaps.cf
./etc/postfix/mysql-virtual_recipient.cf
./etc/postfix/mysql-virtual_relaydomains.cf
./etc/postfix/mysql-virtual_client.cf
./etc/postfix/mysql-virtual_transports.cf
./etc/postfix/mysql-virtual_forwardings.cf
./etc/postfix/mysql-virtual_sender.cf

 

That's ok. Do you still have MySQL errors in your mail log?

Please create an A record for ISPCONFIG.familymullen.org.

 

I will do that but that domain is hosted on a different server at another location.

 

Still seeing this.
