Hello, i have a new mailserver based on postfix. A little problem occurs. Existing users get "relay access denied" when sending mails from outside, when using localhost (webmail) there is no problem. If i add users IP in mynetworks it works also from outside, but this is not a comfortable solution for me. I would like my users to be able to send mails using my smtp from all over the world. Here is my main.conf Code: alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases append_dot_mydomain = no biff = no broken_sasl_auth_clients = yes config_directory = /etc/postfix inet_interfaces = all mailbox_command = procmail -a "$EXTENSION" mailbox_size_limit = 0 message_size_limit = 20480000 mydestination = server.domain.com, localhost.domain.com, localhost mydomain = server.domain.com myhostname = server.domain.com mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8 myorigin = server.domain.com recipient_delimiter = + relay_domains = proxy:mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql_relay_domains_maps.cf relayhost = smtp_tls_session_cache_database = btree:${queue_directory}/smtp_scache smtpd_banner = $myhostname ESMTP $mail_name (Debian/GNU) smtpd_data_restrictions = reject_unauth_pipelining smtpd_hard_error_limit = 10 smtpd_helo_required = yes smtpd_helo_restrictions = permit_mynetworks, permit_sasl_authenticated, reject_invalid_hostname smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_mynetworks, permit_sasl_authenticated, reject_unauth_destination, reject_unlisted_recipient, check_recipient_access hash:/etc/postfix/reject_over_quota, check_sender_access hash:/etc/postfix/rbl_sender_exceptions, check_client_access hash:/etc/postfix/rbl_client_exceptions, check_recipient_access hash:/etc/postfix/rbl_recipient_exceptions, reject_rbl_client sbl-xbl.spamhaus.org, check_recipient_access hash:/etc/postfix/greylist_sender_exceptions, check_client_access cidr:/etc/postfix/cidr_greylist_network_exceptions, check_policy_service inet:127.0.0.1:12525, check_client_access pcre:/etc/postfix/check_client_fqdn smtpd_restriction_classes = check_greylist smtpd_sasl_auth_enable = yes smtpd_sasl_authenticated_header = yes smtpd_sasl_local_domain = $myhostname smtpd_sasl_security_options = noanonymous smtpd_sender_restrictions = check_sender_access hash:/etc/postfix/sender_access, reject_non_fqdn_sender, reject_unknown_sender_domain smtpd_soft_error_limit = 8 smtpd_tls_CAfile = /etc/postfix/ssl/cacert.server.pem smtpd_tls_cert_file = /etc/postfix/ssl/cert.server.pem smtpd_tls_key_file = /etc/postfix/ssl/privkey.server.pem smtpd_tls_received_header = yes smtpd_tls_session_cache_database = btree:${queue_directory}/smtpd_scache smtpd_use_tls = yes transport_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/transport virtual_alias_maps = proxy:mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql_virtual_alias_maps.cf, hash:/etc/postfix/virtual virtual_gid_maps = static:6060 virtual_mailbox_base = /var/vmail/ virtual_mailbox_domains = proxy:mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql_virtual_domains_maps.cf virtual_mailbox_maps = proxy:mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql_virtual_mailbox_maps.cf virtual_minimum_uid = 6060 virtual_transport = maildrop virtual_uid_maps = static:6060 any ideas what i am missing?

Hi Falko, thanks for your reply, enabling authentification in my mail client was the first thing i have done. I myself am using mozilla thunderbird under linux - under "Edit" / "Account Settings" / "Outgoing Server" i have added the mailserver and checked the "Use name and password" - of course i have added an existing username... but when trying to send mail using this smtp server i get "Relay access denied".... users using outlook are reporting the same problem... I suppose i am missing some option in the postfix config. Adding the client's IP to mynetworks is doing the job... Thanks
You will have to configure sasl so that it authenticaes against your mysql database. For the details, have a look at falkos postfix virtual user setup howto. He has written the howto for several linux distributions.
if installed server was done with: The Perfect Server - Ubuntu Hardy Heron (Ubuntu 8.04 LTS Server) and ISPConfig after that do i need to do: Virtual Users And Domains With Postfix, Courier, MySQL And SquirrelMail (Ubuntu 8.04 LTS)
