I have Postfix 2.7 installed in Ubuntu 10.04 LTS.

When I try to send a mail from Outlook (with smtp auth) to a gmail account (or others), I get relay access denied.

The log (I've faked the emails):

why this happened? I already had permit_sasl_authenticated in smtpd_recipient_restrictions

root@vm1613:/etc/postfix# postconf smtpd_recipient_restrictions
smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_sasl_authenticated, permit_mynetworks, reject_unauth_destination

    The login lines you see in the log are from imapd (for retrieving mail), not from smtpd (for sending mail). Please update your question with at least the output of postconf -n, better yet with the output of the saslfinger command. Feb 24, 2013 at 19:28
  • thanks for help, i've attached the logs. so you suppose that i can't send from outlook because i'm not authenticated via smtp right? Feb 24, 2013 at 22:31

Your email client didn't actually authenticate.

Are you sure you have correctly configured Outlook to connect to port 587 and given it a username and password?

  • i've setup all to mysql, with users like this: INSERT INTO user (email, password, name, quota, enabled) VALUES ('[email protected]', ENCRYPT('changeme'), 'Administrator', NULL, 1); how i can test smtp auth with telnet? i've tried with AUTH LOGIN encoding username and password in base64 but it doesn't seems to work Feb 24, 2013 at 23:05
  • That doesn't say anything about whether your Outlook configuration is correct. Feb 24, 2013 at 23:08
  • now it's ok, and i have in log this values unknown[95.239.57.160]: SASL LOGIN authentication failed: authentication failure Feb 24, 2013 at 23:21
  • Now you just need to set the correct username and password :) Feb 24, 2013 at 23:21
  • that is a serious problem for me :D i'm trying the "changeme" that i've updated with the sql, but it doesn't work Feb 24, 2013 at 23:23
