I followed the Postfix Virtual MySQL howto, and I'm having problems with sending mail. I get a relay not allowed in the mail log. Here's my postfix.conf file Yes, I do have the authentication turned on in my email client (using the same login info as receiving). Any ideas? I've looked over nearly 15 pages of a search on the forums, but couldn't find an answer that seemed to fit my problem. Thanks!
I followed Falko's advice on another thread and removed the domain from mydestination, now I get this error: Any ideas? Thanks!
It should read Code: pwcheck_method: saslauthd mech_list: plain login allow_plaintext: true auxprop_plugin: mysql sql_hostnames: 127.0.0.1 sql_user: mail_admin sql_passwd: mail_admin_password sql_database: mail sql_select: select password from users where email = '%u' instead.
I changed the file (not sure how I got those other 2 entries in there) and rebooted the machine. It still didn't work. What other files do you want to see the settings in? Thanks again, Falko!
I'm just curious... Is the 'relay not allowed' in your log coming from your system or possibly your ISP? I have found many mainstream ISP's don't allow relaying, so if you are trying to use a MSN account to send a piece of email from any email account other than one originating from MSN will not be allowed as that ISP has closed relaying in their email server. Regards
I've got a local ISP that I pay for a static address (which they only give to people who run their own servers), so that's not the issue. Thanks, though!
If you are using your ISP's mail server as your outgoing SMTP it would cause the no relay issue if your ISP does not allow relaying though. Not trying to be a pest Regards
I appreciate the help, but I'm not using my ISP for my outgoing server...and they do allow relaying if I were to do that. Thanks again, though!
Now I'm getting a Certificate error too...

Similar message trying to send from inside my network...

I've recreated the certificate...now here is the error message: Code: Oct 7 01:46:01 mail courierpop3login: Connection, ip=[::ffff:192.168.1.1] Oct 7 01:46:01 mail postfix/smtpd[2771]: connect from unknown[192.168.1.1] Oct 7 01:46:01 mail postfix/smtpd[2771]: warning: unknown[192.168.1.1]: SASL LOGIN authentication failed: authentication failure Oct 7 01:46:01 mail courierpop3login: Connection, ip=[::ffff:192.168.1.1] Oct 7 01:46:01 mail postfix/smtpd[2771]: lost connection after AUTH from unknown[192.168.1.1] Oct 7 01:46:01 mail postfix/smtpd[2771]: disconnect from unknown[192.168.1.1] In the "Perfect Etch Setup" how-to, there is a final main.cf of the postfix config file. In the "Virtual Postfix with MySQL" hhow-to, there isn't one. Can I copy the "perfect" setup config with this configuration of Etch? I just want to make sure that is as it should be.
No, don't do this. These two setups are not compatible with each other. Are you sure that you used the correct username and password?
I have Outlook setup to use the same login info for sending and receiving, and I am able to receive, so that shouldn't be the problem.
The original question was about not relaying? Your mynetwork value is localhost only. mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8 Have you tried adding in your real IP range eg 192.168.1.0/24 ? mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8, 192.168.1.0/24 http://www.postfix.org/basic.html#relaying
Sorry it's been so long since I've had time to work on this... This caused postfix to fail...I couldn't even log in on Squirrelmail. I recreated the certs...and now I'm getting a cert error again. I don't even have an /etc/postfix/ssl directory. And I'm also still getting the SASL error. What should I try? Thanks!
Are you sure you followed the tutorial to the letter? Because that directory is created during the tutorial.
