I have starter to work through the debug recommendations above. The easy stuff that they start with doesn’t resolve the issue. I’ll work through the debug and tracing process and see what I come up with. > 2. You're mistaken. Feb 3 18:34:06 raspbx postfix/smtp[2912]: E7E6B20A9D: to=<u...@destination.com>, relay=<relayhost>[nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn]:587, delay=1.3, delays=0.05/0.12/0.89/0.22, dsn=5.0.0, status=bounced (host <relayhost>[nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn] said: 550-Verification failed for <r...@raspbx.sendinghost.com> 550-The mail server could not deliver mail to r...@raspbx.sendinghost.com. The account or domain may not exist, they may be blacklisted, or missing the proper dns entries. 550 Sender verify failed (in reply to RCPT TO command)) If I read it correctly, postfix is attempting to authenticate with <r...@raspbx.sendinghost.com> which is not the username specified in the sasl_passwd file. If I login with a user name other than root, which is also not the authenticating username, that login name shows instead of root. I’m not worried about the failure to send the bounce email back to me as I’m only trying to deal with outbound at the moment. > 3.
