I have this error 554 Relay access denied
when trying to send email from my outlook client.
I can read incoming mails but cannot send.
If i connect with telnet localhost 25 i can send external emails, but with outlook client it doesn't work.
Here's my postfix and dovecot config :
postconf -n

Any thoughts?
If you use a postfix version newer then 2.10, then you need to add the smtpd_relay_restrictions
option as described here:
# With Postfix 2.10 and later, the mail relay policy is # preferably specified under smtpd_relay_restrictions. /etc/postfix/main.cf: smtpd_relay_restrictions = permit_mynetworks permit_sasl_authenticated reject_unauth_destination # Older configurations combine relay control and spam control under # smtpd_recipient_restrictions. To use this example with Postfix ≥ # 2.10 specify "smtpd_relay_restrictions=". /etc/postfix/main.cf: smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_mynetworks permit_sasl_authenticated reject_unauth_destination ...other rules...
After that, any sasl authenticated user should be able to send mails through the server using smtp.
