hey,
2 questions I have
1) Are you the registered user of mtnl means you have any account with mtnl
then your postfix MTA should be able to talk to the mtnl server.
2) You have defined smtp_sasl_password_maps =/etc/postfix/sasl_passwd
What is the entry in the sasl_passwd file? The entry should be
smtp.bol.net.in username:password
You can define your username
[EMAIL PROTECTED] in /etc/postfix/virtual file
[EMAIL PROTECTED] mitavikas (local user)
run this command for both virtual and sasl_passwd
postmap /etc/postfix/virtual
postmap /etc/postfix/sasl_passwd
restart the postfix
If still the error persists then use
You can set the hostname of your machine to anything and then put this entry
in the main.cf file of postfix
masquerade_domains = yourlocaldomainname for ex . sun.net
I hope it may solve your problem.
Regards
Ankush Grover
