    Ok i have followed the perfect debianetch setup (not quite to the letter) and at first i could receive emails to [email protected], now when i tried to authenticate from outlook express from my home computer my server was kicking me out and i couldn't understand why.

    I looked in my mail log and found this

    Apr 20 19:41:56 server1 postfix/smtpd[3705]: connect from unknown[192.168.1.3]
    Apr 20 19:41:57 server1 postfix/smtpd[3705]: NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from unknown[192.168.1.3]: 554 5.7.1 <[email protected]>: Relay access denied; from=<[email protected]> to=<[email protected]> proto=SMTP helo=<myhomecomputer>
    Apr 20 19:41:57 server1 postfix/smtpd[3705]: disconnect from unknown[192.168.1.3]
    Apr 20 19:45:17 server1 postfix/anvil[3697]: statistics: max connection rate 1/60s for (smtp:65.54.246.98) at Apr 20 19:40:04

    so i went back to my main.cnf file and at the line

    mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8 i ammended it to read
    mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8, 192.168.1.3

    i went back to my mail log and it now reads this

    this seems to have cured my 'relay access denied' error but im most likely wrong.

    Outlook express would appear to be sending the mails however no mails are actually going to [email protected], the above log does indicate sent but i know not where, can someone please help me and point me in the direct of the light.

    My mail is working in respect of that it has sent emails to 2 other addresses however [email protected] and .co.uk do not reach their destination. I have read somewhere about blacklist sites so i will see if my sever has appeared on that.
