Hi all,
I've just set up Postfix 2.3.3 to authenticate against a MySQL database to
support Virtual Domains, and I'm able to send mail to any domain which
Postfix knows about, but when I send an e-mail to an outside address such as
hotmail, yahoo, etc. I get the following error message in the logs:
Feb 27 22:09:52 juter1 postfix/smtpd[27104]: NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from
h-68-167-178-13.snid.cod.net[xx.xxx.xxx.xx]: 554 5.7.1 <someem...@gmail.com>:

When telnetting to port 25, and issuing the EHLO command, I get the
following:
250-jupiter1.national.com
250-PIPELINING
250-SIZE 10240000
250-ETRN
250-ENHANCEDSTATUSCODES
250-8BITMIME
250 DSN
I don't see anywhere where it shows what authentication mechanism I am
using. Could this be the issue? I want people to be required to
authenticate if they are going to be sending mail from this server to
external addresses. 'My Server Requires Authentication' is checked in my
mail client.
I've searched Google, I've read so many articles and for some reason I can't
seem to find a fix to my issue.
Could someone point me in the right direction and let me know what I'm
missing from my configs?
Please let me know if I need to supply more information, as I would be more
than happy to.
Thanks in advance!
