Hello everyone I used below tutorial to configure mail server http://www.howtoforge.com/isp-mailserver-with-virtual-users-domains-postfix-dovecot-mysql-centos5.0 everything went fine.. but now the problem is when i try to send email using outlook, connection to smtp server timed out..however smtp port is open and I can telnet to it Code: $ telnet xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx 25 Trying xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx... Connected to xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx.

The authentication setting might not be correct for your outgoing e-mail [SMTP] server. For help solving this problem, go to Help, search for "Troubleshoot Windows Live Mail", and read the "I'm having problems sending e-mail" section. If you need help determining the proper server settings, please contact your e-mail service provider. The rejected e-mail address was '[email protected]'.
