turn authentication on -- a simple how to please!!
My mailserver uses postfix and has a number of virtual domains. I am getting the following difficulties on delivery of legitimate emails to remote addresses failing with a request to tun authentication on. I am comparatively new to managing mailservers. Could someone please tell me what I need to do. My searches on google seem to give me long explanations of what is meant to happen but I cannot find simple instructions on how to fulfill the requirements!! dns1# fgrep abc /var/log/maillog Sep 7 17:01:59 dns1 postfix/smtp[86489]: 179BE34D41D: to=competiti...@bristolphoto.org.uk, relay=mail.abc.org.uk[xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx]:25, delay=2.2, delays=2/0/0.15/0.03, dsn=5.0.0, status=bounced (host mail.abc.org.uk[xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx] said: 550 Please turn authentication on (in reply to RCPT TO command)) dns1# Thanks in advance david ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Normally this shouldn't occur if you are relaying yourself. Remote mail servers should not have authentication on for outside mail. This would only be the case if the remote postmaster considers his mailserver private and does not want to receive mail from unknown people. Therefore, this should only happen if your relay via your ISP using the relay_host parameter in main.cf. I am comparatively new to managing mailservers.
