Postfix Mail Relay 554

[mhmfasy]

hi,

i have installed postfix and it is working fine within the office premisses (LAN). But when i try sending mails from outside office premisses, i get the error message "554 <xxxxxxxx@xxxxt.xxx>: Relay access denied; in my postfix mail log file. I think there is a setting i have to add in main.cf, can u help me on this issue.


thanx,
fasy

hi

if your trying to send mails using your mail server form out side the lan (form the internet) you need to setup smtp auth in postfix

http://www.postfix.org/SASL_README.html

hope this help, if you tell me what your really trying to do, i can give you some work around.
